Certification is a multi stage process. The first set of certs is purely political, you are right. Wave 1 is merely an equipment level handshake. It is not until Wave 2 testing that the critical features needed by operators will be tested. Our solution is already beyond that (we have over 50 full commercial deployments with BreezeMAX) so we had initially planned to go straight to Wave 2. But Wave 1 is taking so long and the market has the mistaken impression that if you do not have Wave 1 complete than you are behind. So we will get our Wave 1 stamp.
It is important to recognize that just having Wave 1 means nothing in the long or even mid term, since anyone with a Wave 1 cert will have to go back and get a Wave 2. Each later Wave is higher in value and represents a more complex system. Many small vendors will not make it beyond Wave 2.

Sure, WiMAX talks about QoS, ARQ, encryption, scheduled MACs, etc -- but is it required for base certification today? Hehe -Charles P.S. -- BREAKING NEWS FOR WISP types -- I saw a WORKING DEMO of a MINI-PCI WiMAX card for 3.5 Some interesting CPE makers (they all use this mini-pci WiMAX card inside) http://www.ente.com.pl/default.aspx?docId=2555&mId1=2509 http://www.winetworks.com/products_win2000.html "The Book" CPE (IMO - quite nifty looking) http://www.quadmaxsystems.se/products.php ------------------------------------------- CWLab Technology Architects http://www.cwlab.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Leary Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 10:00 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: [WISPA] 3650 equipment All WiMAX vendors will have some version of this type of CPE since that is a mandatory requirement for licensed band operators. Each will have their own attempts at special sauce to differentiate their offering. It will get very interesting come fall (which is not to say that these last 8 years have not been interesting!)

Please throw something out there for pricing.
