WHOA MULE - I SAY WHOA :-)
If I understood all that I have heard and been told in the last couple months - - MT will have several combinations of gear certified. It takes a while to get everything through the test lab as you have to wait your turn. I have also heard through the grapevine that there will be a couple different individuals (companies) who also have MT combinations being certified and they will be reselling these solutions. My hat is off to Tully and Arnis (and whole MT crew) as they stepped up in our time of need with all this CALEA stuff in the last couple months. This was not something that they had to do, but it sure has empowered all of us to adhere to the CALEA law at a very VERY reasonable price. I also want to say that ImageStream stepped up and even worked with the WISPA CALEA committee to get us a solution - - THANKS JC, Jeff and Doug!! Mac Dearman Maximum Access, LLC.

So are we saying that it would be under 5K to get MT certified with different antennas? If thats the case why wouldnt they have done it? Seems like they would have a much bigger market if the stuff was certified.

Depends on the amount of lab-time testing needed. You can minimize test time (and cost) when you use a wireless card that has already received a modular approval from the card manufacturer along with a "clean" single-board computer (SBC) motherboard, a clean power supply plus software that dis-allows operation (or excess radiation) outside of the U.S. band. That combination costs about $3219 to certify. I recommend certifying with a range of antennas (the entire range of antenna types that you're likely to use).
