Do you have £20,000 down the back of the sofa ? Thats that wireless solutions provider Alvarion are charging to get on the first steps to set up a wireless network upto 50 users.

ZDNet details the offering, and provides details such as the downlink being upto 1.4Mbps for each user. Alvarion are estimating that a breakeven point would be charging £50 per user in subscription fees, plus £100 for installation, which is not a bad price to pay for a potential 1.4Mbps.

One clear point raised though, is that the £20,000 is not the only funds required. Excluded is the cost of the backhaul itself - ie the connection to the internet itself.
