That's retail Travis. Actual pricing WISPs pay is far less. By the way,
that VL AU also delivers over 32Mbps net at the top mod and can scream
with VoIP.
Here are the net rates per mod for VL:
Avg Avg
FTP Layer 2
Modulation 1 4.96 5.56
Modulation 2 7.28 8.16
Modulation 3 9.9 11.10
Modulation 4 14.35 16.09
Modulation 5 19.38 21.73
Modulation 6 26.77 30.01
Modulation 7 33.41 37.46
Modulation 8 36.24 40.63

I think in all fairness, we need to put a major factor to radio
selection out on the table too... price.
Trango retail pricing:
Trango Link10-EXT's are $1,500 for a complete link.
Trango 5830AP-EXTs are $1,095
Trango 5830SU-EXT's are $729
Trango FOX are $149
Alvarion pricing (not sure if this is retail or not):
VL 5.8ghz AP - $4,525
VL 6MBPS CPE - $1,045
It still stands true... you get what you pay for.... if you spend 4x the
money on an AP, I would suspect it should work better. If you spend 4x
the money on a car, boat, house, etc. it should work better. The
question is, do you need to spend 4x the money to get what your
customers need?
