We've just built out a new tower with Ubiquity M's in 2.4 w/airmax, we will be doing voice across it. We've been using the M's as client radios for several months the firmware is at a good base right now I think. Once we advertise this tower to our dialup base we will quickly test the scalability.
We've been extremely happy with the pre-airmax gear, low failure rate, nice config/featureset, solid OS, tremendous support/customer interaction, not to mention the excellent ROI. This is great for rural, but we want to move into some of the cities in our area that is why we are looking at Wimax. Ubiquity doesn't play in 3.65 yet and it won't for a while and we need to move quickly, leasing loops from the LEC's is killing our wireline profit.
