Hi Phil,
Are they using Motorola's new Canopy system? If so, I visited another
Canopy site being setup by an ISP in the Tucson area a month ago and was
*very* impressed. Canopy uses TDMA technology and for distances of <2mi
it is capable of 6Mbs @ 20ms latency. With a directional antenna, it
will easily reach 10mi at similar data rates. Very cool!
