That would control the OVERALL effective bandwidth. It DOES NOT stop 2
cpe's talking to a base to use unlimited bandwidth to communicate with each
other.
And you are still filling the air with beacons and such, as the BCU DOES NOT
override those built in characteristics of 802.11.
All in all it is a good solution for controlling network bandwidth if you
cannot do it over the air.

The information on the BCU states that it controls both the up and down
speeds.
If this is the case, then does it matter that the wireless devices talk to
each other at full speed if the BCU controls the speed of everything
between the base unit and the world.
Would this not control the effective bandwith?
full speed throttle point
cpe <------------> base <----------> bcu <----------> world
Just trying to understand this thing.
