The big Canadian operator is using our traditional 4Motion BreezeMAX WiMAX gear. I believe they are now layering in the small footprint new 4x4 (but I think they are using it in 4x2) Compacts though, which cost much less than the original base stations. I think they are over 20k subs at this point. They sell 5 to 10 mbps service and put well over 100 subs on a sector. Their oversubscription is higher than most WISPs would do, but the network seems to be managed well. I think it is about 15:1. It's not for everyone, but it works for them.
Re the former Wavion stuff, on Feb 12, we'll be doing a WISPA webinar on the new products born from our acquisition of Wavion. 900 mbps aggregate dual band outdoor IP68-rated APs. Each has an array of 6 radios with bi-directional adaptive beamforming that adjusts per packet so we were able to cert them using PtP power rules. That makes coverage and indoor penetration really good. One of our engineers put one of the new APs on his 2nd story porch and did 20 mbps from his laptop with just a USB device at 1 mile. As part of the webinar we'll introduce sustained special pricing for proven WISPA members.

Alvarion has recently come out with a higher capacity AP (LTE?), but I'd consider it to be at the new bar for average. Otherwise, WiMAX and LTE are generally too low of throughput to be useful. I don't think anyone has really enough of a differentiator in the WiFi space to not use UBNT or Mikrotik. UBNT is cheap and generally works. Mikrotik has their whole RouterOS behind it and generally works. Cambium is the only thing I can think of that's doing their own thing. It looks really good if only the APs were 90% less expensive. 100 meg of throughput on an AP is really the minimum to be considered. I have areas where I could put something multiples higher to use. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Jenkins" <m...@smarterbroadband.net> To: us...@wug.cc, "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 5:36:26 PM Subject: [WISPA] High Capacity AP alternatives?
