yes... the recently announced AP trade-in program applies to both the
5830 AP with integrated antenna as well as this new EXT version.

The connectorized 5830 AP (part number M5830S-AP-EXT) will be
available for
shipment in about a week. It is certified for use with the 120 degree
sector and omni from Pac Wireless as well as the dual-pol 90 deg. sector
from Radiowaves. Stay tuned for info on the Atlas AP.

Trango is clearly trying to get their product deployed before more
inexpensive WiMAX CPE hits the street.
- They announced their $149 CPE (in 30 packs), but must install M5830
AP as
a transition
- They announced a M5800 $300 rebate/tradein program for your old APs
- Don't know if they have announced yet but I have heard they will
have a
connectorized M5830 AP so you don't have to purchase 6 AP's then replace
them
I don't have an idea of the timing on the Atlas AP. That would be
nice to
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
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
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
been
in
shock.
Last year when Betas were send out, they asked, how many we wanted to
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
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
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
$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
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
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
radios.
Then out of nowhere "Z" gets all serious and asks "What If...we had a
$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
we
were dreaming and drinking way to much wine, and called it a night.
CPEs
were still $400 at that time, ya know. God what a poker face! I
thought
Z
was kidding! And the irony in it all, quantity 10,000 is not
required!
Just
qty 30! And its only $150, not $200! I just don't know what to say.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going to be in the tech room
tommorrow. I'm going to be in the marketing room, making new
materials,
and
crunching numbers. Our business plan may have just changed overnight,
with
this recent Press release. Think about the potential! The residential
market is going to be broken wide open, with this pricing. If I
didn't
have
a box of M5580s sitting on my desk, I'd ask somebody to pinch me, to
make
sure I wasn't dreaming.
Trango... Thanks!
PS. PLEASE, NOBODY SAY, " If I only had a CPE for $75", I don't
think my
heart could take the results.
