cfoent - Paul Jacobs said that HDR will work very well in an office environment. He said they have already developed the antenna. It can allow up to 2.4meg speed. First, was he talking inter or intra office? It will work for either one, but so will twisted pair, and DECT (designed for in-a-building deployment) can work in a WLL system. But is it competitive? This is not a cut and dried question to which you can get a clean answer from PJ, or anyone else for that matter. I'll have to think for a while to come up with some of the design differences, but one of the primary ones is protocol timing (an issue with DECT going the other way). Given the environment for which HDR was designed, I do not expect large amounts of intra-building business except possibly in public buildings like airports. Clark Clark
