They also lost a bunch of sales during one of the AlcaLu deals... I think when Nokia bought AlcaLu. Nokia was wholesaling Dragonwave radios, but now no longer needed to because of AlcaLu.

Apparently that customer went elsewhere and bought a huge amount of competitors' carrier class radios instead (NEC, Ericsson, Nokia).

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'm looking some Navigator links. The price/performance seems pretty good IMO, and the single radio sparing is a big plus. I remember Nathan from Wisper swearing 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. </blockquote> -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com </blockquote> -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com </blockquote> -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
