I've had nothing but bad experiences with BreezeCom/Alvarion, that said: They can claim whatever they wish, what you should do is ask for a demo setup that you can test for a month or however long. Set it up, watch it fail to live up to expectations (as usual) then kindly ship it back to them and say no thanks.
