It is interesting Rick and creative, but with all due respect, you are not building a network that you are going to be able to sell most likely or at least certainly not for a good price. As well, you can't offer advanced services if you want to grow into them. Rick, it is a serious question: what is your path for growth and/or path to have a satisfactory exit?

Also, add 2.4 cards (SR2) and cabling / antenna at each client, and you've now built a mesh, so to speak, with coverage off each customer to new customers. Those setups add about $200 here and there when you do the repeaters. But again, Alvarion can't touch $500 for 900 CPE and 2.4 AP all on one POE cable. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Leary Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 10:27 PM To: Joe Laura; WISPA General List Subject: RE: [WISPA] 900 Mhz Mikrotik SR9 Clients It is a fair question and what I would say is that the AU is an even more critical point in the network. Our AUs have options to be inserted into chassis with redundant power supplies, etc. The difference in cost of the AU is minimal when working out the entire cost of the sector and its clients, especially when working in the OPEX issues. For example, OPEX aside, let's say you are in the AlvarionCOMNET program and buy at the minimum level of 25 CPE, which would get you a $285/CPE cost with free shipping. Let's assume all 25 of those attach to a VL sector. In that case the sector will cost you about $1900 plus $285 x 25, or $9,025. The equivalent size network at Mikrotik with the prices in this thread would be $348 x 25 + the $500 AU or $9,200 + shipping. So, not even counting the OPEX issues, reduced truck roll, and shipping we are $175 cheaper. Then add in the 1 year free warranty, domestic support, FCC legality, and higher equity value of the network. Let's not forget no user license fees, no fee for new software upgrades. Is my math wrong? The business equation seems simple unless I am seriously missing something.

VL CPE comes with mounting hardware too and the cable. Our stuff is also all fully FCC legal.
