That was a very different BridgeWave though. Pre-Siklu having 80GHz
products.
They were sold to REMEC which was then sold to Moseley. There is only
one person left there that I worked with, who is a sales guy on the East
Coast (Jim Norton).
Sprint/Clearwire did a lot of damage to Bridgewave, just as they did to
Dragonwave.
I don't have any opinion of them now.

I really don't know anyone that I can recall singing the praises of
Bridgewave except for Daniel - while he worked for them. I have had
bad experiences myself and I know a handful of others in a similar boat.

This is a bit unsettling. I'm looking some Navigator links. The

because of some random issues with links as well.
Yeah I really don't know what to think. I have microwave gear from SAF,
Exalt, and Cambium/Ceragon and those have all been rock solid in all
kinds of places. I thought these would be in the same category but it's
been nothing but problems. The 10+ minute reboot times are beyond
frustrating too.
One thing that struck me as odd was that when I did back to back testing
on the bench with waveguide that even in what I felt should be perfect
RF conditions they wouldn't reach full modulation. Support said that was
to be expected because of the attenuators being used and since these
were new and I was new to Bridgewave I went ahead and deployed them.
Down for 2 hours, so many reboots later, and it finally came up again.
Why? Nobody knows. But now it won't modulate above QAM on one side.
These Bridgewaves weren't cheap and even if I'm able to get to the
bottom of why they are being crap I don't think I'll ever be able to
trust them without a parallel link from another vendor.
