Although I always recommend exploring options WISPA vendor members have, first....
I'd also suggest looking into a comapny called "Targeted Technologies". They use proprietary gear/protocols, but it is a really awesome system. It worked wonderfully in our Beta testing. (although we did not do any large scale testing). Their protocol uses a 8K stream, and does some security encrypting at the same time. The quality sounded as good as any other solution that I had used in the past that used larger 30-40k steam size. They primarilly were targeting business subs that needed a larger amount of lines, to justify an inexpensive channel bank, and most plans were pay per minute of use. Although they were exploring ways to expand into other market segments. They were not as far along in their programs as some of the others, when we looked at them, but their best of class technology and desire to develop programs for WISPs was worthy of note. There was a risk to use proprietary equipment, but with a 8k stream, it would be almost unnoticeable bandwdith use for even 900Mhz residential networks. One of the reasons we were considering them, is they had a plan, where they'd jsut take care of everything, so we didn't have to worry about billing integration. At the time, the model wasn't designed for residential yet, it might be now?
