Until Alvarion makes a product that's viable for more than "niche" market WISP, the 'division' is simply going to continue to exist. They have certain products that WISP's will find useful and valuable, but they don't make mainstream WISP "last mile" equipment. I have been expecting to see them announce something, but so far, I've not seen anything. The ball's in thier court.
