I have lurked for some time now, but feel the need to address an alarming
trend on this list. There are "Industry Leaders" putting "facts" out there
with out fully examining the truth. Before you flame me, please read all
that is below my signature as proof to my comments...
Steve, dude... I figure these are advertisers to your blog/newsletter and as
such should have come with a disclaimer. Your claim of " Please note that
I'm deliberately not listing vendors who only sell
sub-systems such as antennas, radio cards, etc. - only full-blown
radio systems suitable for outdoor use. An additional caveat is that
I won't knowingly list systems that are not FCC certified." is patently
untrue as you will notice below. I have added my comments on the vendors I
know personally. You have placed yourself as an industry leader for some
time now. I would have expected that you would not adopt a "don't ask,
don't tell" mentality to your claim of "knowing" something. I only say this
as it only took some personal knowledge of the industry and one hour of my
time to discover the flaws in your claim.
Patrick, as an "Industry Leader", I would expect that you would not just
accept anything as "fact" without researching the claim first. There are a
lot of people who accept what you say as fact.
While this information is not 100% accurate as the FCC has a lot of work
submitted to them every day. I am merely suggesting that the statements of
the "Industry Leaders" should be viewed with the traditional skepticism that
should accompany statements from a vendor/vendor-subsidized source.
Don't forget to read below the ______ line. I have pasted my search results
from www.fcc.gov site.

Deliberant
I only list them as they only have recently started to "reclassify" RTL-8186
wireless OEM modules. They have sold many radios "illegal" as this list
has classified them. If you look at their recent certs you will find that
they do not manufacture radios but have re-certified them in order to please
forums such as this. They have been a homebrewer turned
integrator/assembly house since they started.
See if their certs match their output power:

DLB7023 802.11a + g 23dBi Integrated Dual Radio
Sku: DLB7023
The DLB7023 802.11a + g 23dBi Dual Radio features an 802.11a interface with
23dBi antenna as well as an 802.11b/g interface that operate simultaneously.
This hardware configuration, along with extremely flexible software
configuration options, make the DLB7023 one of the most versatile platforms
on the market today. Each interface can be an AP, Client, or WDS bridge,
which results in the perfect outdoor radio for remote repeaters, apartment
communities, and dual-band APs and CPEs.

Subject: [WISPA] Broadband Wireless Internet Access Vendors list
I've posted my most recent update to my Broadband Wireless Internet
Access Vendors list at http://www.bwiavendors.com/2007/02/
bwia_vendors_up_1.html
This update lists 85 unique vendors, and while that's a lot, I know
there's more. If you could take a look at it and tell me of any
vendors that I missed, I would appreciate it.
Please reply OFF-LIST; I don't want to clutter the list.
Please note that I'm deliberately not listing vendors who only sell
sub-systems such as antennas, radio cards, etc. - only full-blown
radio systems suitable for outdoor use. An additional caveat is that
I won't knowingly list systems that are not FCC certified.
Thanks for any help you can offer to make this a better, more
complete list.
Thanks,
Steve
