Sure, it's not like we can't put more than one Canopy backhaul on the
same channel.

We rarely use multi-point systems for customers and when we do they are
either small businesses with very little voice and data needs or they
are just data customers. All of our customers with any significant
amount of voice are running on dedicated radios. I would say our average
customer buys 12 lines of voice and delivering that over a Canopy
backhaul works just fine.

So you agree then that being able to do VoIP is key. I'd like to hear more
about your experiences with VoIP. Is your solution actually doing it well
or
is that your idea of doing VoIP well is 8 only concurrent calls per sector
so long as the quality is decent for those few calls? We have talked to
many
very users of other common 5GHz brands these past few week and we have been
consistently told that performance is just dandy until you bump up against
8
calls. That is a less than 50 call per cell limit, which does not seem like
enough to justify the investments needed on the NOC end for the softswitch.
How do you define good VoIP performance Matt?

Matt, to further your comments that you see WISPs providing layer 2
transort
for carriers.
We have multiple CLECs and non-CLECs buying layer 2 transport from us
now. All are used to buy alternative access from fiber providers and
therefore fixed wireless was a naturally next step. Further, almost all
indicated they would have done it sooner, but the fixed wireless
companies they approached weren't willing to offer them layer 2 transport.
How about VoIP? How many of you consider VoIP to be an
important part of your service future as a WISP? If so, how do you plan to
support since it cannot be done decently with the other popular 5GHz
solutions. That's not my opinion so much as the opinion of many larger
Trango and Motorola WISPs I have been talking to lately.
We are doing a significant amount of VoIP now. We have VoIP customers
running on top of both Trango and Canopy radios. Canopy is a
significantly better solution for VoIP since we can properly prioritize
voice with Canopy, while we cannot with Trango. We also wholesale VoIP
to other operators and help them --if they require it-- with getting
their network ready to support VoIP.
If a key goal of WISPs is growing ARPU, what are WISPs plans for doing
that
with whatever your current technology permits?
I believe VoIP is the number one way to grow ARPU and the fact that we
bundle VoIP is why I believe we have one of the highest ARPUs in the
industry.
