Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Any plans
to make the airbridge with router?
We had discussed some
of that in an earlier thread. Some of us
would like things to
stay the way they are, or maybe have another
unit that is capable of
routing as you suggest. That way those of
us that don't need the
router wont be forced to have it sit there
doing nothing in the
box. :-) We need to keep all of our options
open because not
everyone's network is the same. Some people
like routed CPEs, some
like Bridged. Some like DHCP CPEs,
some like static. Some
use authentication and login of some sort
or another, and some
just give the client a public IP and turn them
loose. If Nexus is
going to be a big departure from what SB is
currently doing it will
likely have some better options for some of
us. For others it's
going to change the way we do business, or
we'll have to stick
with what we have.
Hopefully SmartBridges
will keep the current line going, as well
as bring out Nexus, so
that we still have plenty of choices. The
current line of 2.4GHz
equipment is great, and it's made it possible
for us to grow better
than we could have with any other equipment
currently out there.
(that we've tested anyway)
Also, I would rather
see the price stay close to $300 for the CPE,
lower for bulk orders.
If you make
the price to low, then literally
EVERYONE can run out
and buy one,
and then the spectrum is
useless.
Just wondering if smartbridge is working on
or thinking about making a radio with a builtin 4 port router/firewall?
Boy that would be sweet :) Everything but the antenna for say around
$200
Just a thought,
Jerry
