The multipoint protocol running in the Aironet eats up about 1/2 the raw bandwidth. The Lucent stuff's simple CSMA protocol gets you about 80% of the bandwidth, it's cheaper too. The 4mb (raw) Aironet radios mentioned below are about $4500 each, will get you a little over 2mb at the application level. The 2mb Lucent (at under $2000 for the bridge) will get you about 1.7mb. This isn't ment to degrade Aironet. Great multipoint stuff. We use it alot, much better management too.
