Hi Mike, A bit of a stretch perhaps, to call an 11 Megabit
product Broad Band ...
but this is what I based my choice on ...
Note the advertised range of 16 miles, and references
to "Public Hot Spots"
Hmmmm WaveRider seems to be making similar claims
for their Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum product ??
Mike, I'm old enough to remember the excessive (false)
claims of "Hi Fi", "Peak Power", "Music Power" , etc.,
which were made by our failing consumer electronic product
companies.
I wonder if we are not seeing similar "Non-Line-Of-Sight"
"stories" in our present time ??
I don't know ... would you classify this as a Broad Band
Fixed Wireless product ?
Would it need to connect to an ISP to clasify as a Last
Mile product ?
What would people be doing with this stuff in Airports ?
Disclaimer ... I have no interest in Agere stock at
this time.
At my advanced age, my main interest is in hoarding and
spending cash :-)
Regards,
Mardy.
