As for Trango Giga...
Looks like a very exciting product, and hopefully they'll have an exciting
price to go with it.
As for testing, I'm planning on it. There is no shortage of willing beta
testers. The hard part is paying for it :-)
I think Trango's product is really going to put the preasure on hard to
competitors like DragonWave.
I'd like to bring up the point that Dragon Waves' ALL OUTDOOR Horizon
product gives it a big advantage for WISPs with limited indoor colocation
options. Expecially in Urban areas where Management companies try and
charge for every closet (Rack) Space they can charge for. With only needing
indoor POE, it makes it much easier to just replace existing 5.8G gear with
little effort, and NO renegotiation with Property owners.
Of course there is also benefits of combo indoor/outdoor unit models.
As for Wimax 5.8Ghz Sector models.... I think that is a thing of the past at
this stage of the industry, atleast in Urban areas. Customers are expecting
higher expectations from their provider, that PtMP may not be able to
deliver long term. The future is about PtP last mile, and small channel
sizes to enable a larger number of links. What they need to do is get the
Atlas PtP down under $1000, with small channel size support. PTP is the
only way to survive the noise floor, in most of Urban America today. PtMP
was a transition technology, that WiMax was 5 years to late to the party.
Due to new PTP trends, Many buildings may be left unserved, but in favor or
being able to better serve the ones that have committed already to the
technology first. I have a lot of respect for the Atlas PTP line, and it
was well priced for Backhaul purposes, however 5.8Ghz backhaul is also
starting to become a thing of the past, as new breed Licensed technology
replaces it. With Mikrotik/StarOS and Certified varients such as Deliberant
or Tranzeo, there is no longer the need to pay top dollar for Last Mile PtP
nor the reason to justify PTP for just Backhaul anymore. PTP is becomming a
low cost last mile solution today. As for WImax/PtP, is there really
anything someone can offer more than what Alvarion already offers in their
Commnet program? I'd argue, not much. Why build a new product to compete
agaisnt these tried and true technologies? Again, I'm not saying a new PtMP
WimAx product won't be embraced, I'm jsut saying the market is changing, and
what we need today is rock bottom low cost High quality Last Mile PTPs, and
reasonable cost Solid as a rock super high performance Backhaul.
Trango Gets it, which is why they are jumping right to the future, and
concentrating on making a best of breed Licensed Backhaul Product.
Now whether the Atlas PtP price drops, that is uncertain. I'd like to see
it happen.
Just my 2 cents and predictions.

Saw them in Vegas, they're completely separate / different radios from
Dragonwave
As for deployments, it's still pretty new and probably still in beta
(they literally just finished the GUI interface the day before InterOp
in Vegas)
Now, someone just has to "step up" and be "first" to try to new Trango
=/
