Mardy - LOL! If you know just enough to be dangerous, then I must be a ticking bomb.
Questions for you - the development of the WOFDM 30 Mbps access point (22 actual) seems to be intended, for in-home (network)RF use. I understand there is development work to take this product to +100 Mbps.
Okay, so on the reception end, Wi-LAN is building broadband-like access points.
On the transmission end, what's happening? It seems that the Hopper Plus is still the top of the line, and I recall reading that 20 to 30 users on-line will slow transmission to wired (POTS) levels.
Can you then add more Hopper Plus units to your backbone? What about transmitters - can you add more transmitters and bridges to achieve higher thruput when you get too many users?
I understand the in-home use of WOFDM (though I worry about the public perception of microwave transmission, especially in-home), but I'm losing the linkage between WOFDM as it is, and where Wi-LAN is going in the wireless LAN market. Is the production of ASICs (reception) supposed to also accomodate ASICs (transmission)? A wireless LAN SOHO user would need WOFDM going both ways, I would think.
Anyway, dumb questions, I guess; I've lost the handle here!
On another note: re your link. Was there and at IEEE last night, looking for the progress on IEEE 802.11a - and found precious little.
