I fully believe these payload rates are achievable in little or no noise environments. I think it's important to add a disclaimer stating these rates are theoretically obtainable under ideal conditions. In comparison a product that has mechanisms to avoid noise or block noise will perform better.
Our VL setup running v4.0 is only able to achieve 2-3Mbps uploads TCP HDX and 8-10Mbps downloads TCP HDX. Running TCP FDX tests is pretty ugly, so I won't even bother posting. This is a real world deployment under real world noisy conditions not a "glossy ad best case" claim by a manufacturer interested in pushing boxes off the shelves. <grin> Patrick, any chance Alvarion will reconsider a software switchable Dual Polarity AU and SU? Any chance Alvarion will consider offering both 5.3GHz and 5.8GHz bands in one product? I believe Alvarion is on to something with the VL v4.0 series product, but they are lacking some very basic functionality as I have noted above. If Alvarion were to add the two above features to the VL line I believe the VL product could be an industry leader in PtMP throughput and flexibility.

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 Patrick Leary AVP WISP Markets Alvarion, Inc. o: 650.314.2628 c: 760.580.0080 Vonage: 650.641.1243 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Travis Johnson Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 10:41 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Alvarion VL Fixes Problems with Backhaul Links 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?
