As I understand it, the advantage platform was supposed to be software
upgradeable to 802.16d. However, since that time Motorola has decided
that 802.16d is a waste of time and is focusing on building pre802.16e
products. I don't think advantage will be upgradeable to 802.16e, but I
haven't heard one way or the other.

Hi,
I read Motorola's recent announcement of the MotoWi4 platform for
802.16e with interest. I found it even MORE interesting that they've
backdated this announcement - which came out the other day - to July
25. If intentional, this move would seem to supercede their previous
announcement to build 802.16d updates for the Canopy Advantage
platform. That's alright and all, but it does seem a little tricky to
rewrite history (Motorola recently announced a major joint technology
development agreement with Sprint for wireless broadband WiMAX 802.16e
technology testing and equipment trials. - no, they announced trials
for 802.16*d*).
Mostly, I'd just like to know where they're going, and if the Canopy
Advantage will really be all that - or if it will fall flat on its
face as the redheaded stepchild of Motorola, as someone suggested at
WiNOG, in deference to MotoWi4.
Anybody got a clue?
