For almost a year, we (at linuxcaffe) have been lucky enough to have
been part of a testing phase of Somas WiMax technology. For those of
you who may not be familiar with it, WiMax is a radio (2.4ghz) ISP,
with an amazing range, a potential 12MB/300k bandwidth, and featuring
piggybacked POTS telephony.

Although there have been times where we relied on it exclusively, for
our internet hookup, and we have used it to otherwise beef up our
bandwidth, using a LinksysRV042 appliance, it has been dormant for a
little while. When I decided to re-impliment, using a new load-sharing
scheme and a new LinksysWRT54GL, They responded with a generous offer
to come in, update our hardware, tweak the setup and answer any
questions. They also extended the invitation to anyone who might be
interested in the technology, and who would enjoy an afternoon yakking
with their kernel developers/ DSP rocket-scientists.

And so I'm extending the invite to you motly geeks !

This Monday, July 31st, from around 10am to 2pm, at linuxcaffe.

Please note that this technology is licensed for experimental use
ONLY, and generally speaking, it is not yet available to the general
public.
