The discussion talks about the Seattle Wireless network group (not by name) and other groups and about some of the key technologies that will help shape wireless BB into a useful mass market product. They don't talk much about wireless mesh networking which has the potential to drastically change the topology of wireless and drastically change the cost and complexity of deployments. Wireless mesh can grow more organically than typical sectored cell type topologies and can dynamically increase the networks capacity and redundancy as users are added. The provision to incorporate wireless mesh networking is going into the 802.16 specification and a few companies are developing systems and parts. When standards based MAN systems evolve and take advantage of wireless mesh and smart targetable array antenna technologies we will see a geometric increase in capabilities. I don't know exactly how this market will evolve but it will be much more dynamic and dramatic than most people think imo.

A couple lesser known companies working dual-mode chips:
systemonic.com
rf-solutions.com
nband.com
This one is partly owned by Cisco and has a broad product vision: flarion.com

I have more links on another computer I can't get to right now. We should start seeing these things hit the market in 2002. The explosion won't happen for another year or two; WLAN took off about a year after 802.11b was ratified and 802.16 for sub 10 GHz spectrum is expected to be finalized in August . . . so give it a year from then for several systems vendors to get systems out into production and in the marketplace.
