Would it be possible to have standard 802.11a support from this client?
What about 5/10mhz channels?
That would make this a "super killer product" even more then it sounds
now. Personally I would pay a
small fee per unit to have 11a support, 5/10mhz channels are becoming
standard.

Trango Introduces New $149 WISP Subscriber Unit
/— Lowest priced fixed wireless modem available —/
*SAN DIEGO, CA — January 18, 2006* - Trango Broadband Wireless, the
leader in fixed broadband wireless equipment, introduced a major
addition to its product line which will enable Wireless Internet
Service Providers (WISPs) to, for the first time, compete head-to-head
against cable and DSL providers with the high performance /Atlas Fox/
M5580M-FSU wireless modem, priced at just $149 and capable of internet
transmission speeds from 10 to 30 Mbps.
“We truly believe that the introduction of the /Atlas Fox/ wireless
modem is the sea change event that will transform the wireless
internet service market into a consumer mass-market service capable of
out-competing cable and DSL delivery methods,” said Zdravko Divjak,
CEO and President of Trango Broadband Wireless. “This product is
eliminating the final obstacle toward nationwide deployments of fixed
broadband wireless networks capable of serving millions of users coast
to coast.”
“There’s nothing /lite/ about the /Atlas Fox/ M5580M-FSU,” said Todd
Easterling, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing for Trango Broadband
Wireless. “This product offers the industry’s highest performance and
at a dramatic price breakthrough. Our engineers have outdone
themselves on this one, and many of the wireless internet service
providers who have Beta-tested the /Atlas Fox /are raving about the
price to performance ratio. To provide /real/ 10 Mbps to their
subscribers, at only $149 for the CPE (consumer premise equipment),
enables WISPs to offer high-speed internet access to an entirely new
market. More than ever, the return on investment and break-even points
for WISPs deploying Trango are measurably superior to our
competitors,” added Mr. Easterling. “Over the past few months we have
clearly seen the cost and design benefits associated with controlling
the entire product development and sales process—from engineering
specification, to radios rolling off the production line of our own
state-of-the-art factory in San Diego, to the direct sales model for
the U.S. market. And most importantly, we’re passing on many of these
benefits to our customers.”
Trango’s /Atlas Fox/ M5580M-FSU wireless modem, which can reach
internet subscribers over twelve miles away from an Access Point (AP),
currently provides upload and download speeds up to 10Mbps, and is
upgradeable to speeds over 30Mbps. This provides a platform for next
generation internet services known as the “triple play” (voice, video
and data). In contrast, cable and telephone/DSL companies generally
offer service between 1 Mbps and 6 Mbps bandwidth for downloads, and
between 128 Kbps and 768 Kbps for uploads. Trango is taking orders for
the /Atlas Fox/ now. Shipments begin February 7 th, 2006.
