Agreed. A few years ago we tried (very hard) to deploy Alvarion VL. Crashed and burned to the point we were tarnishing our reputation with a valued client before we threw in the towel. No mechanism to deal with noise AT ALL. For rural or third world deployments I bet it does great, but for an unfriendly RF environment Alvarion VL is not a good fit IMO.

We're inheriting several towers, and curious about performance -- in particular with voice and contention Poor. No RADIUS auth for MAC, no polling (contention based), no transmit sync. The only real benefit over WiFi is the support for variable frame sizes in later firmware/hardware releases. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
