Do we really need super cheap APs?

Be careful what you say. Yes we need cheap APs. The reason is for subscriber relay gear (2 radios, one for subscriber, one for rebroadcast AP.) As long as the mentality is APs are expensive, there will never be a cheap Relay enbaled subscriber unit (which includes an AP secondary component).

The trend with new spectrum (5.4Ghz) will be how to turn every subscriber into an opportunity to serve another.

I've heard the rumor as well, but was hoping for more concrete evidence that
the product was nearing shipment.

Agreed, Trango could develop an AP with both existing and new technology
support.  Do we really need super cheap APs?  It doesn't make much if any
difference in our business model if the AP costs $500 or $1500.  I'd rather
have a faster more able AP for $1500 than something watered down without
support for existing and new technology.

Best,


Brad

If I was Trango, I would add a 2nd rf card to the APs, allowing to
maintain old customers on 5.8 and adding new to the 5.4

Rumor has it that Trango is just waiting FCC approval for a new triband
5ghz AP (5.3ghz, 5.4ghz and 5.8ghz). It will also have more horsepower
than the current 5830, but still be backward compatible with existing
SU's. Same 10Mbps bandwidth limit however.

What better excuse could Alvarion ask for in not offering an UL dual
or
tri-band product?  Now you are comfortably able to hang your hat on
the FCC
mantel...well done!   <grin>

This rule change does come as a disappointment to many Trango
operators.
The ability to flip between 5.3GHz and 5.8GHz in V or H polarity on
the fly
will be sorely missed.

Sure has been quiet on the Trango front...hopefully they have a new
dual or
tri-band product with trusty dual polarity undergoing FCC
certification.

Best,

Well folks, after all this time the July 20, 2007 deadline is now upon
us. Effective tomorrow it is illegal for all vendors to sell legacy
5.3
GHz into the U.S. Everyone must now wait for the FCC certifications to
come for the new gear that vendors will be building. The rules require
that 5.3 GHz gear must now conform to the same DFS2 requirements as
incoming 5.4 GHz product. I trust most of you are aware of this.
