Yes, and by pushing those companies to pour R&D resources into products that were specific to them and never got bought.

Did Clearwire do all the damage to those companies through the massive ramp-up of orders and then abruptly stopping the purchasing, or is there something else that I'm missing?

    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
    price/performance seems pretty good IMO, and the single radio

    off Bridgewave 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.
