Trango repeated its WISP summit at ISPCON again this year as well.
The purpose was to ask WISPs what they need in next generation products, and
disclose upcomming products.
It was also exciting to learn more about their next generation WIMax
product. The advantage of that platform, is its early enough in the
development process that there is still time for Trango to add features that
WISPs requested, to make it a better solution. A lot of neet ideas were
pitched, hopefully Trango will implement some of them, to compliment their
offering. Trango's approach is to take WiMax chipset, with the option to run
a standard WiMax MAC, but shipped default with Trango's modified Firmware to
fit nicely in line with existing Trango gear firmware features and tools.
This would also have the side effect of giving WiMax features at Lower
prices than WIMax competitors, and more unique differenciators than
competitors by not being limited to standards. My perception, is that the
10mbps solution would continue as the low cost options, but the WIMax line
would be the high end product delivering higher capacity / Higher feature
gear, that would be priced somewhere between 5830 and Fox lines. My
understanding is that Live versions were displayed at Wimax World. Its not
appropriate to discuss exact features yet, for obvious competitive reasons
of a not yet released product. It could be a real exciting product, and
something worth keeping an eye on as it develops. Unfortuneately though,
this is not an option for us today, as the product has not yet been
released, and probably won't for about 6 month. (Disclaimer: not an
authorized time prediction listed)
