we're talking 900 mhz, right? I don't use Moto 2.4 or 900 mhz stuff.
never tried 2.4 and the 900 mhz didn't work for me - but it was a press.
some 15 miles with NLOS so.. it could have been a path too challanging
even for 900 mhz.
$295 for a 900 mhz radios is very good. You still have to add $100 for a
900 mhz antenna. I've stayed away from 900 mhz mostly because of the
learning curve and additional spectrum/antenna considerations. They are
much bigger of course than 5.7 or 5.7 antennas/reflectors for the same
gain, but that's obvious.
Still $260 for 5.7 ghz radio with spectrum analyzer built-in, audio tone
alignment, weights a few ounces, goes a few megabits / second, supports
vlan tagging, dhcp / nat / shoulder-spectrums / has snmp / is supported
by a network mass-firmware upgrade program (yes, its really crap, but at
least its *there*). I could easily do remote upgrades of 30 units at a
time without headache to move to new featured firmware - live, online,
no crap-outs...
Like I said, it isn't for everyone, that's for sure. It just was for me.

I've never done business with them either, but their 100 pack prices

motorola canopy SM bulk 100 pack.
I picked the first couple of hits that showed prices.. That's it.
I don't do business with Double Radius, so I wouldn't know.

Double Radius has 25 pack for : $8,500.00 double to 50 pack and it 17k
Will you please tell me who the Canopy major supplier is so I can
avoid at all costs.
The 100 pack is THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS cheaper at double radius.
HOLY CRAP!
Unless I am reading something wrong.......

I think WISPA has expressed its disinterest in a 'buying club'.
However, if members on this list want to organize a 'buying club' -
I'm all for it. Its clearly one of the reasons you will get your
ass kicked by the telco and cable company - they have buying power
and can get what you want and buy in 10s and 20s for 1/2 the price.
Next to FCC, my biggest concern is that my *COSTS* are higher than
Telco and Cable. Aside from the totally defunct Anti-trust activity
of our government, *COSTS* are going to kill WISPs off. Hardware is
a part of that overall model. The rest of the costs are contained
in my business.. and I'm happy to talk about that with other WISPs
at the *first* WISPA meeting. In fact, I'd likely talk about it at
ISPCON as well. (would be my third talk there). Our industry really
needs to pull together to achieve higher efficiencies (how to run a
WISP), better pricing (buying power), improved governmental rules
(FCC and others through a louder voice).
I don't specifically reccomend any of this equipment. Get some and
figure out if it works for you on your own dime. :-)
Want a relevent example: a single 900 Mhz Subscriber Unit = $725.

Would he give WISPA a good rate? Anyone interested could get
quotes and maybe he could cut us a break? I want this trade
association to get some members services so people have a reason
to join. With added services comes members and money. With
members and money comes "pull" at the FCC level. Then we get
good stuff from the FCC and WISPs rule the world. *Right Brain*
Lets do what we can to get more Principal Members.
