Sorry, I have not responded sooner guy, but I kept missing opportunities to
connect to the Internet.
The reason I did not post details on the List, is that the pricing and
program is a deal designed and offered ONLY to WISPs, and I was not sure
what part of it was suppsoed to be confidential or Open to disclose.
The program is for the existing VL product line, the one you always wanted
to buy, but thought you could never afford.
There are volume commits involved, but they are VERY minimal. The Plan is
not just about pricing, it also includes additonal support for WISPs via
online content and such. When you learn about it, you will see why I was so
excited. This program is something that never could have happened without
someone like Patrick Leary behind it, who fully understands the needs of
WISPs, and went to bat for us.
What I liked about the program is that it came from the principle of how can
they help us, help ourselves as a group, and ultimately reach higher volume
of product deployment (For mutual benefit). Understand that this is Best of
Breed product, at the top of the pyramid, so sod course set realistic
expectations that their is no justification for the program to compete
against $99 CB3 boxes. But it now allows a WISP to make decisions based on
whether the features and design of the product is the best product for the
job, rather than having to make selection based on price. It allows a WISP
to step up their operations a couple notches, and puts FCC certified /
carrier class gear within their reach.
Disclaimer: The fact that I am impressed by the Alvarion program, and
without a doubt will be participating in this program personally, does not
take away the value that other manufacturer's products may also deliver.
But I now can make my decissions based on the merit of the individual
product lines, for the appropriate locations. Alvarion is not the
appropriate product for all my needs, but I know where I do need it, and
I've been waiting for this day for that opportunity.

yeah, tom, don't post a book, but give us details.
I'm sure Patrick will be chiming in on this one.
I love Alvarion gear. Just can't afford it. Mikrotik's just as good, if
not
better at some things, but sometimes I'd just love a DS11 backhaul
everywhere...or bigger. :)

Those who were not there, (WISPA meeting), some extremely exciting news
was
released by Alvarion.
The details of the Comnet program. Clearly the most exciting news from the
show.
I can't even begin to communicate the impression that it made.
There could not have been a stronger message that they want WISPs as their
customer.
A WISP will NEVER again use the excuse that they can not afford Alvarion.
Since this is a public list, I'll leave the details, for WISPs to discover
when checking out the program.
But I will hint by saying, it enables Alvarion for residential.
Its a pretty hard sell, NOT to switch.
