NO! I will yell the dream from every tower! I suspect they could do GPS with a multiport USB device to make the timing and have all APs sync to it. After reading a bit about the BSD TDMA software I am pretty sure this is technically possible. Not having a great in-depth understanding of the Atheros SoC's and the HAL in use, I could just be dreaming. Even if it meant a new AP, if the existing CPE worked with a firmware upgrade they would be sitting on silver plated gold (and so would the people using it). mmm, if only i had a gnu radio with a airmax load on it, I would lose my self for weeks.
