I am a bit concerned about latency and reliability. Care to elaborate?
latency isn't too bad actually (in the tests I've done)

it's not dsl/cable but it's no where near satellite pings

it's a lot like being on interleave profile in dsl (15-30 ms pings)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16765233 Wed, 23 Aug 2006 16:01:15 EDT Re: i don't think it's completely unreasonable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16760837 Michieru2 : Reliability will most likely be greater since you are not physically attached with wires. All you need is your responder and a power supply to connect.

If power goes out you can always back that up with a generator with voltage regulator or with a UPS backup and your connection would be up and running just fine. Unlike if a pole snaps across the street and now your block is without phone service. Even if the CO on the other end is running just fine your link is broken. So that's advantageous over any wired network.

Latency depends on the technology used there is canopy, EV-DO Rev A, RF, and more from what I heard. I can't give you more information than what I know since I am currently looking into that data myself. But there is a WISP forum here, if anything we would find our answer there from people who actually own the equipment.

I at least know Canopy operates somewhere in the 5.8Ghz range.

EDIT: I know this is not a reliable source but here >> »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canopy_%28wireless%29]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16760837 Tue, 22 Aug 2006 23:00:19 EDT Re: i don't think it's completely unreasonable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16760690 grandpinaple : I am a bit concerned about latency and reliability.

All you need is a line of sight and they can provide you up to 100mbps up and down. But it's not something a customer can afford, since prices are around that of a T1 and up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16758319 Tue, 22 Aug 2006 17:10:29 EDT Re: i don't think it's completely unreasonable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16757884 viperm : I dont know who you have been talking to about wireless but we have customers pulling 5 + megs from our sites.

I just installed a customer today ran some speed tests to our own internal servers getting ^ + megs down and about 4 up at about 15 miles from our site.

this summer, I've been testing some wireless connections that were 3500/2500 at a range of about 18km from the tower

line of sight is an issue of course, and 100mbps wireless at any distance is still a ways out there, but it's not impossible
Goldman sounds like Dvorak in an earlier story here today at BBR. He talks about 100 mbps wireless, but offers no evidence anything like those speeds is going to be available in the mid-term future, let alone near-term. All the systems being built today are barely delivering 1 mbps and that only under optimal conditions. His dream is probably 10 years out, if then.
