Re: Comments on WaveIP?
Not personal experience, just thoughts here:
If their technology works as advertised, they will become the front-runner in carrier grade equipment for wireless. Their specs make Canopy look like Wi-Fi.
To respond to jarosoup, what interference are we talking about? Self-interference, or just a busy spectrum? There is a huge difference there, the first being that you can engineer around a busy spectrum. Their synchro should minimize self-interference, if not, then uh oh for them.
To respond to cmaenginsb, I dont think its possible for 900MHz equipment to be based on 802.11b. Different standard, com layer protocol, and mac layer protocol. The carrier standard is the same (DSSS) but you can use DSSS to transmit/receive any RF signal. It does appear to take a huge chunk of spectrum in order to get 8MBps.
I do not own their equipment quite yet. I am going to be very interested to see how this turns out. My small 120 subscriber WISP recently recieved a lot of attention in town which is attracting mucho-moolah offers for expansion, and WaveIP is currently at the top of my list. I am not an expert on 900MHz equipment ... yet  Correct my mistakes if any.
Also, check for Gator17 or something or other. I think he just deployed WaveIP.
I look forward to hearing your report from a first hand view of their stuff.
