Cross platforms, really? So for example between a Blackberry and a Windows CE phone?

Governance and succession are intimately tied. I feel that part of the problem with WordPress and Rails is that that there is no model for replacing poor governance.

I'm hoping for L4D3 in my lifetime lol. L4D2 is still my most played game of all time (~3000 hours in that game). I love it.

Wimax hasn't been something anybody I've known in the US has talked about for more than 15 years.

I've built fiber networks and fixed wireless networks. Almost ended up becoming an LTE network as well. It didn't make any sense in any sort of financial modeling, even with spectrum availability.

LTE helps solve "general connectivity". What it does not do is build scalable, reliable, high speed, economical sensitive broadband infrastructure.

Where does OP make the claim that Omada gear is cheaper than UniFi gear? Perhaps you skimmed the comment and confused "Meraki" for "UniFi"?

You could do gigabit fixed wireless for less than 1/10 the cost of LTE, and have better performance.

LTE is what somebody would do without much telecom experience and more money than sense.

I use their Omada stuff for my business. I own a coffee shop where I have a few devices I need online and I provide free WiFi to customers. I needed something where I could run multiple networks, segregate my own devices, support a large number of clients, automatically turn off free wifi outside of business hours, run a captive portal, reserve a minimum amount of bandwidth for my own devices and prioritize my own traffic, etc. It’s absolutely packed with features and costs less than the stuff I run at home. It was a fraction of the cost of the Meraki gear I was considering. The performance is great too.

I don’t know how much I trust TP Link, but my risk level is very low. There’s not much an attacker could do if they get on my network. None of my data is accessible on that network and everything important has MFA anyway. The most sensitive things are my POS and menu displays and they are just client devices connecting to the internet. I probably wouldn’t run this stuff in an environment where I had complex security requirements.

If it is the size of my phone, I would avoid the future e-waste and just use my phone. In airplane mode, if distrations are a problem.
