You need to look at Nera, Ceragon, and Gigacom. The Gigacom product is the only one that you can get any real long distance out of depending on the freq. They have licensed radios that perform very well in the rainforest of South America at very long distance. 60k or 40 miles for some applications at speeds of up to a Gig. One of if not the best Gig. radio on the mrkt.

We simply don't have the ability to predict where are growth is coming from. We routinely upgrade existing backhauls and/or reconnect our POPs together in different ways to increase our capacity and redundancy. With licensed we are forced to have a static configuration. > I thought 24 GHz unlicensed had limited bandspace which made the top > end > about 100 mbps FDX? > DragonWave seems to have a 24Ghz unlicensed product that can do 200Mbps full duplex. -Matt -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
