To add to Jeff point...WiMAX certification & interoperability is limited to a "lowest common denominator" -- for example, looking at the MAC, interoperability is only guaranteed at the BE level (so unless there's some level of AP / CPE manufacturer cooperation, most of those nifty QoS features disappear)

From what I understand, Redline Base Stations and Tranzeo CPE will work together but only on a "best effort" basis. All QoS functionality is proprietary. If you are just providing data services that should not be an issue though. Once again, this is theory. I do not know of anyone who has actually tried out a system using Redline Base Stations and another manufacturer's CPE. -Jeff General Manager CTI (773) 667-4585 x2509 -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Gino Villarini Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2008 11:39 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Vecima 3.65 Well its uses Wimax MAC, but ists not Wimax Forum Certified so the manufactures don't have to comply with interoperability Gino A.
