Back to Agenda

Following up from our previous session, we will provide an objective 3rd party comparative review, based upon REAL-World implementation and field testing, on the performance capabilities of the various broadband wireless backhaul and bridging solutions available on the market today.  Presentation material will give participants an in-depth and comparative "nuts-and-bolts" view of "the good, bad & ugly" of each system.  Each backhaul system presented has undergone the following implementation scenarios and comparative testing criteria:
