Oh- the Peps work fine on Cisco mesh as well- especially the newer Peps they sell now. We are currently only using the older black ones that look like a cable/DSL modem with an antenna.

For a serious business customer, vendor lock in is far less of an issue than getting proper support. On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 11:03 AM, L.

In a muni mesh, the CPE radios are clients, not part of the mesh. The Pep CPEs work great with Tropos and the Peps were actually the original recommended CPE for use with Google WiFi in Mountain View when they began. Interesting. Well, I still believe, RFCs and open standards are the only way to go when building mesh networks. Everything else leads to a vendor lock in. But nevertheless it is interesting what proprietary vendor mesh solutions do and how well they perform. Is there any way to find out if one mesh solution will interact with a different vendor's solution? a. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
