Right guys, I accept all that may be true but even in the DSL world, customers provide their own routers and that is certainly true of commercial customers.
In any event, VL does many of things for which you think make a router so critical. Even better, it does a lot of them at the RF level which makes the link and total network more efficient. Frankly though, I need one of my engineers in this type conversation; I'm just not technically competent enough on the networking side (and barely so in the nitty gritty of the RF side). At the same token, many here that are truly skilled remain under exposed on the RF side since most have not used truly sophisticated gear that allows for depths of tweaking beyond that which you have experienced. I have never encountered an old hand who, once thoroughly exposed to our firmware in a scaled system, did not say something along the lines of, "Wow, I did not know that sort of thing could be even be done!" or "You mean that's all we have to do to do that? That always took me hours before!" Basically, I think many of you have trained and become good street racers, but you've not yet become real race car drivers because you are still driving souped up street cars not realizing a real race car actually IS different.

As we stated in an earlier thread, those pesky routers matter more than our cpes, to the customer. -- George Rogato Welcome to WISPA www.wispa.org http://signup.wispa.org/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ ************************************************************************ ************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses(190). ************************************************************************ ************ ************************************************************************ ************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses(43). ************************************************************************ ************ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
