As far as I know, current CPE prices are in the range of $175-$300. however, this is the selling price. The BoM price would be much lower.
There has been quite a bit of discussion on SIM. Yes, it should have WiMAX SIM

It greatly depends on the type of CPE: from PCMCIA to Outdoor CPE and modem CPE, the price will vary coz their performances vary accordingly. For instance, modem CPE will likely have 2 or 3 antena (eg Motorla and Navini respectively) when PCMCIA have only 1.

Also, it's likely that until mid-2008, the vendors will on 1 hand advertise their IOT and ability to support other vendors' BS and CPE. On the other hand, advice their customers to rather use their own CPE as the performance will (indeed) be better.

In 2007, its likely that the price for modem CPE will stay around 200-300 and outdoor CPE above 400 USD.; ▶ Reply to This

The question you have to ask Alvarion is: if I place an order today for, let's say, 1,000 units, when can you deliver them? I bet the answer will be "not in less than 4 to 5 months". I don't believe they are ready to ship them to the customers yet.; ▶ Reply to This
