Ian, others,
PROXIM is planning to continue with all OriNOCO product lines,
including the Outdoor Routers!
And should there come a time where either customer demand has
dried up and/or components are not available anymore to build
these units, then we will give the market an advance notification,
I think several of our partners need this 12 months in advance.
So you can continue using OR's - we just released R4.00 S/W on
the Outdoor product line, showing our commitment to support
this product line and the Karlnet polling protocol.
Kind regards,

Who needs UMTS anyway when you can have ORiNOCO wireless?
