I agree with you entirely. 802.11x was for domestic use. But 802.11g provided more power and bandwidth that, it was used for point to point links for large distances. Since, Intel had tight controls over WiMAX initially, none of the vendors had WiMAX products. Only 802.11g. That was the reason, why it was deployed, not just here in mysore but elsewhere like these places. Bay Area Wireless User Group - http://www.bawug.org/ Seattle Wireless - http://seattlewireless.net/ amongst others. The main disadvantage with the 802.11x series is that you have to have a directional antenna for medium to large distances, which should be solved by the 802.16. As ravi said, the kushalnagar link is about 180 Kms, and the latency was about 10ms average. Thaths, you have setup a few networks right ? What are you using ?
