Same here... the only realistic options at this point seem to be PMP450/Medusa or LTE. They each both have different strong points, but I'm leaning towards Baicells LTE at this point... but I haven't actually done anything with any LTE stuff yet, so my opinion could very well change once I've had some real experience.
The Baicells CPE are quite a bit cheaper than PMP450 SMs, so it should actually cheaper than Canopy, with enough customers per sector.
