Hello John,
Any chance the 900 stuff will become similarly priced? Also, why not
package units in one box when buying in bulk? Would seem to be cheaper
to ship and less waste to group multiple orders in one box.

JS Trango is clearly trying to get their product deployed before more
JS inexpensive WiMAX CPE hits the street.
JS - They announced their $149 CPE (in 30 packs), but must install M5830 AP as
JS a transition
JS - They announced a M5800 $300 rebate/tradein program for your old APs
JS - Don't know if they have announced yet but I have heard they will have a
JS connectorized M5830 AP so you don't have to purchase 6 AP's then replace
JS them
JS I don't have an idea of the timing on the Atlas AP. That would be nice to
JS hear about...

Thats one of the trade offs, 5800 is end of lifed :-(
I don't mind retiring 5800AP in favor of next generation AP.
What I mind is reitring 5800AP to replace it with a last generation
JS 5830AP,
that most likely will need to be re-replaced shortly after by an OFDM AP.
I still think the merit of accomplish a quality $150 CPE is amazing.
But I'd wish they'd get the Atlas AP comming, so we can see if the M5580
JS is
a usable or non usable OFDM product.

I just wish the new units worked with the 5800 AP's...

I'm not sure if everyone really truly realizes what has just happened.
It took an hour or two for it to really sink in, I think I must have
JS been
in
shock.
Last year when Betas were send out, they asked, how many we wanted to
JS buy,
before they shipped.
This year, they just sent them, and I wasn't told the price.
Was it sorta like a restaurant with no prices on the menu?
Send us the gear to see how nice it is, and then tell us the big price
JS tag
after we realized the advantages?
Think about it, Like a Fox, but will be able to do up to 30 mbps, cross
platform supported!
They jsut released a Fox-D2 for the low price point model. The M5580 was
likely going to have a bigger price tag, if I guessed.
What was it going to be, $300, $400, $500? When I heard $150 today, I
able
shxt myself. I was blown away. I never expected it.
I remember three years ago, when everyone was talking about the 2 year
JS ROI
on equipment, wishing that if they only had a $500 CPE! And one came,
thanks
Trango. And then some people started getting greety and pushing the
limits,
and said If we only had a $300 CPE. And sure enough it came. Thanks
Trango. (Also a few others like Tranzeo releasing 2.4Ghz for under
JS $150).
Some jerks actually had the nerve to then say, if I only had a $150
CPE!.
It just plain got rediculously funny at that point. Then Like Emeral
JS would
say BAM! Trango did it agin, $150. This is truly a defining
moment
in history. No NOT for a commodity WIFI product, not for a 2.4Ghz
product.
But for a Commercial Robust WISP product! Equivellent to what we easilly
paid $500 for, less than a year ago.
I was lucky to share an experience this past October at a Trango
JS meeting.
After the reception, some of us stuck around to hang out. We were all
dreaming about what we needed, to be more successful and sell more
JS radios.
Then out of nowhere Z gets all serious and asks What If...we had a
JS $200
CPE? We respond, how much quantity would that take? 5000, 10,000?
Instantly, Travis is like, at that price I'd commit to 5000, 1000 at a
time. Then I was like, I'd take 500. Etc, etc. Then we all realized
JS we
were dreaming and drinking way to much wine, and called it a night.
JS CPEs
were still $400 at that time, ya know. God what a poker face! I thought
JS Z
was kidding! And the irony in it all,
