Vivato Tries Again... This Time With Modesty

Vivato has always had a ton of hype - but they failed to live up to most of it, and have had quite the management shakeup in the last year or so. Rumors swirling around the company suggested that (like so many other wireless offerings) the company over-promised and under-delivered (big time) on what they could offer. Now, with new management in place, the company is trying again - but the claims aren't quite as bold. They're no longer pitching themselves as a "switch" provider, but as a base station with much wider coverage areas (which seems like a minor distinction, really). Still, the ranges they're now pitching don't seem all that impressive compared to what they first talked about a few years ago.

    2.5 miles at 11 Mbps to a 30 mW Wi-Fi adapter, 6 Sq. Miles of coverage. Not impressive???? You are out of your mind! All that at coverage at an installed price on a tower for less that 17K. DO THE MATH!
