Why can't someone make an SM with some gain that has the ease of assembly of the newer Nanobeams? I never have assembled a Force 200 but the old Force 110 was a PITA compared to a simple Nanobeam. Also I really welcome this new style of SM with un-capped throughput at possibly at the $299 price level. The 450i SM's coming in at over $500/each is way to much for normal residential customers. There is no need for residential accounts to have that expensive ruggedized hardware in my area. So next question, will this new SM have a Gigabit or 10/100 Ethernet port? Also will it be 24v or 48v POE? Hopefully its still 24v because most of us will be swapping out existing 450 SM's with these and when the customers not home and needing to change the POE injector is going to be a huge issue.
Also if this integrated dish CPE that's un-capped will be $299 then that means they need a non-integrated non-dished CPE in the $200 price level, maybe phase out the P11 hardware for some P12 or P13 hardware with original SM form factor and un-capped throughput!!!!
