Finally some one is addressing the issue of certification of these networks and adding credibility to the Metro Area Wireless Mesh networks. Will be interested to see how many 1 and 2 radio mesh Node providers step up to the plate on providing SLA's. You will note that BelAir (as well as Strix)can deploy a 4 and or 6 radio Mesh Node which contributes to their ability to provide a viable SLA to the Cities. These systems are robust enough to deliver on the access (per node performance) side of the network due mainly to the capabilities of the backhaul between nodes. Again, it is the selection of the best technology, not just the service provider, that will allow these networks to provide the performance expected of a Broadband Services. Will watch with interest how the Muni and their consultants respond to this form of performance guarantees. Jacomo Excellent.
