All,
This is an interesting thread!
Karlnet has been researching the USB possibilities for some time.
I was involved in such a meeting this past week, and I would appreciate
opinions on what we heard:
We can get TurboCell to work on USB devices (not yet, but certainly doable).
Here is the catch: USB protocol causes latency that will have an adverse
affect on TurboCell. Our belief, is that instead of getting 5.5megs through
the link, you will probably slow your ENTIRE TurboCell network down to about
3.2Megs.
SO.....tell me what you think, and I will pass that back to the engineering
staff!

A USB unit (similar to the Agere/Orinoco) that would support the higher
powered Prism cards would be a good and simple CPE for some
installations. It would allow for being placed nearer the antenna, with
a medium-length run of USB cable into a PC that wouldn't have to be
opened.
Doug, you and I corresponded about this last week, I think, with the
discussion centering on how Agere (then Lucient) had purchased the
driver from another source. You mentioned problems getting much speed.
Frankly, with Prism code being more open, I'd rather see a Prism USB
solution, If the Karlnet people think it's practical. With the Agere USB
stuff selling for around $100 with radio card--maybe adding an antenna
and a medium USB cable run would keep CPE simpler and reduce costs.

I think it's worthwhile. There are certain people I dont care to monitor
anything other than signal and dont need a full blown ethernet solution.
$25-$35 per lic. would be cool.
