Canopy 400 series is Motorola 5.4GHz (5.8 GHz is coming) OFDM Point to Multipoint Product. Check it out: http://tinyurl.com/6ka7nc
Great hardware, and pushes 20Mb with no problems. Viable contender for the WiMAX Market, at a much lower price point. Cheaper than Alvarion too (although more expensive than Canopy AP's and regular Canopy SM's) Daniel White 3-dB Networks -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom DeReggi Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 2:47 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] MT interface randomly dumping clients.
