Let us hope that YDI will bring something good to the table. I'm assuming
that they didn't acquire Karlnet in order to run it into the ground by
raising prices, or screwing with availability. YDI has typically been out
of my price range, but they do have a reputation for quality.
The following mention is of interest to me, as I'm evaluating several
vendors for deployment of our next generation infrastructure. If they can
keep the current pricing in the 2.4 band, while improving the product line,
I'll be very happy. And if the Marquee product actually performs as well
as the press release (!), and has reasonable pricing, I'll be looking hard
at it, as well as Trango and Motorola.
"The combined company expects to begin shipping its new Marquee product
soon. Marquee will be a point-to-point and point-to-multipoint OFDM system
with enhanced functionality including Near Line of Sight (NLOS) operation
within a several mile range and line of sight operating ranges of over 30
miles. It also will feature active polling, packet aggregation, dynamic
bandwidth allocation, enhanced security, and actual data rates in excess of
20 Mbps. KarlNet is a member of WiMax, and many of the enhanced features of
Marquee are similar to those specified by the IEEE 802.16(a) standard that
are expected to be incorporated by WiMax."
