Need coverage in 3 different directions.  And trango ap's only come with 60* sectors.   Plus, they'll likely put in some video surveillance and that will need lots of capacity so we're heading off any likely bw issues.   Marlon (509) 982-2181                                   Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)                    Consulting services 42846865 (icq)                                    And I run my own wisp! 64.146.146.12 (net meeting) www.odessaoffice.com/wireless www.odessaoffice.com/marlon/cam     ----- Original Message ----- From: G.Villarini To: 'WISPA General List' Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 11:05 AM Subject: RE: [WISPA] service contract prices Why 3 APs ?   Gino A.

The reason I suggest MT is the amount of flexibility and options you can tack are are far superior to any proprietory solution out there you can get your hands on.
