190m (623 feet) for this type of connection is not difficult. I was with a company where we were able to multipath in this fashion in 2001. This was with off-the-shelf radios and antennas in Part 15 rules (2.4Ghz & 5.8Ghz). Making multipath work for you doesn't require smart radios/antennas. Now, if you were doing 400mbit/s, using multipath, with dozens of radios, hundreds of clients across many square miles...that would be entirely different. That's a real world scenario. Show me a video of that and I'll be impressed. I've been out of the wireless tech for a while, but the only companies I've heard make claims like this were never able to deliver.

  Hi Steven, good to see myself (as a potential customer) in that video :) I can attest that the performance were indeed those seen in the video. We are testing the system these days and, so far, it looks like nothing else we have seen. Disclaimer: I'm the CTO of a large Wireless ISP.

    Great that you're seeing the performance in your testing! Sorry about the unscheduled video appearance -- unfortunately I didn't have the time to apply the "blur" brush exactly everywhere. Let me know if you'd like that done and I'll take care of that for the final version :)

    So NGI's Eolo is going to test it? (:

  Ed -- Thanks for the healthy skepticism -- we get a lot of that. Yes, a single link in isolation at this range is relatively trivial, which is why we and our customers were interested in seeing what would break it. I doubt your no-smart-antennas 2001 example would have been as successful with one of its radios face down on the roof, pointing in the opposite direction, or blocked by an aluminum sign. We've seen that this kind of resilience makes backhaul network engineers very happy. As for co-channel interference in a dense deployment, we've demonstrated that on our multi-site test network (with customers watching there, too) in Berkeley. That was before we had anyone on the team here to whom it had occurred that it might be useful to video the proceedings -- and since then we've been too madly busy on product work to worry about demo videos. Our capture from Italy a couple weeks ago was a bit of a bluebird. I'll look forward to showing rather than telling as our deployments roll out over the next several months. Stay tuned, if you want to see the proof accumulate that not all wireless vendors lie. Steven
