Also, agreed, the Sprint card is used by our field engineering and at two of the past dozen conferences where we had a booth, that card was better than the congested Internet connection that they provided to the exhibitors.

I'm reading and sending mail at the office via RDC and a Sprint Data card right now. Sitting in the passenger seat traveling at 70Mph+ and haven't missed a ping yet in over two hours. I've been inside buildings, on rooftops, in vehicle and out of vehicle. Just can't beat having it and it is only getting better.

Yes, I work for a WISP, but I know what problems I can (and cannot) solve, and at least for my network, that sort of roaming is firmly in the "cannot" category. Obviously, WISP wifi roaming is possible; there was a thread about it a couple weeks ago, where someone did a lot of voodoo with Mikrotik. But unless your whole network already happens to support that, or the customer is rather patient, just recommending a cell card is probably gonna make everyone happier. (The customer gets the service they're looking for, and you've saved many man-hours rebuilding your network :) David Smith MVN.net -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
