Jaime, Coleman used to be the President when I met with them and he is batshit crazy, which I told him and the manager who hired me, and I don’t mean that in a technical or market analysis way. One of his ideas was to make the entire cellular system obsolete, for example.
The first idea they had was complete B.S. but with that fake technology, they got to $1.5B on the London Stock Exchange and ripped off a lot of people. They put this guy in charge, brought in the team from Mesh Networks, tried to convert to military and government which in itself was psycho (he had no idea what was necessary for military radios and certainly not the budget or the 10 years necessary to compete with General Dynamics, Lockeed, etc… . I suggested that if they don’t get rid of this nut case, they might as well fold the doors. It's not 4 years later and I still haven’t figured out what they are planning on doing other than 1.5Mbps 900MHz service. The world has passed them by, they just don’t know it yet.

The Jesuits taught me to be a critical thinker... I think the Tecate wore that down....the XG guy is former Marine colonel and went off the technology to war experiences and soap box... he did threw out allot communication lingo but he said he was not RF expert. He was interesting and informative but didn't understand when I asked why these agencies choose 5GHz and 4.9GHz for their backhauls. ..he went on about processor speeds and Software Define Radio... he mentioned early in his speech that his gear can work from 300 MHz to 3.2GHz and that lots of communications ARE going to be jammed while Quico is in Juarez. Should be a fun week ...Nuntius Sunctus... If your WISP gets knocked off the air due to a papal visit, can you claim it as an “Act of God”?

They are using 902-928 MHz and 5GHz along with some other licensed bands but at 5.8GHz they are knocking some Wisps off the air. I attended a meeting a local Amateur radio hut as they are involved as well. Too dark to get clear pictures... will go by tomorrow and check gear out.
