Well, hello Patrick and Merry Christmas! Yes, the gaul of me to insist a client gets what he pays for. Just what am I thinking! lol
Bottom line is as you know the client wasn't happy with the VL product as it wasn't able to keep up with the client demands. I'm sorry that's what it came to, but consider the client really didn't care what the brand of the "gear" was they just wanted the circuit to work. Square peg & round hole dilemma. You had the square peg and the client had a round hole. Just like when we sat around the table and discussed; there is no one product or brand that will meet every need. I know you're a company man and I applaud that, but do you really believe Alvarion makes the best product for every need? It is important to note I've always maintained Alvarion makes a quality product...never said otherwise. The issue I have with VL is it is not a committed rate business class product. The referrals you provided me have told me the same. Best effort...oh ya, it screams, but put a client that demands a committed rate plan and it just won't do it consistently in unfriendly RF environments. Your own Tech Support will confirm this. The proof is in the end result...if the VL could have done the job it would still be there doing it! Keep in mind who took the beating on this. Certainly not Alvarion. My company reputation was who took it on the chin with the doctors, not you or anyone else. Only because we have a nearly flawless reputation in the local medical industry did we even get a second chance to make it right. Try to have a Merry Christmas Patrick. Don't let a little criticism get to you so much. Instead, try listening to the critiques every so often. You might just find a couple good ideas that <gasp> just might improve your product. Let me give you a couple hints: (1) Dual Polarity via software (2) Dual Band (3) RX Threshold (I know, a stretch) (4) Improved weather seal that allows a RJ45 to pass through (5) Incorporate standardized 568-A or 568-B color codes More later, but I have a few too many festive Christmas Parties laced with Eggnog calling me right now. Maybe I should wrap up some Eggnog and send it your way?

I am sorry you are not able to figure out how to attach the connector Brad. Thousands of others seem to manage just fine and when is the last time you ever heard of anyone complaining about water intrusion into a VL VPE or PoE line? It is simply amazing at the lengths you will go to find something to bitch about in your attempt to Aspen to switch to you personal vendor of choice.

Oh, and pre-terminated due to the fact that the RJ45 connector doesn't fit through the weather seal! Just about a millimeter too small! When are you guys going to start using the standard 568A or 568B pin color code and enlarge that weather seal so a RJ45 connector fits through it? Best, Brad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Leary Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 10:31 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: RE: [WISPA] Alvarion Comnet Radios have arrived Thanks for the validation Marty. I suspect that some might have thought there was a catch. I almost forgot that the cable was pre-terminated. That's one of the things we don't highlight enough -- VL CPE does not require hidden extra things to buy like power supplies, cable, connectors, mounting kits, and certainly not antennas. So what's the impact overall to you business model under the AlvarionCOMNET program?

We have deployed a LOT of these radios already and I can tell you this is a great price. I'm looking forward to Alvarion extending this program to other products. (Patrick...)
