We ordered the newer variant of the wireless wire today, we will see how it goes. We are waiting to see how the cambium product does and plan on using the extensively for short short stuff, we have an odd number of banks with remote drivethroughs very nearby.
I'm jaded on ignitnet. One of those incidental ones we dealt with had killed one of our POPs off and on, the operator had the apparent default 5ghz backup enabled and it was misaligned so it would sporadically trash 5ghz, noisy useless bastards that they are On Fri, Feb 19, 2021, 4:31 PM Mathew Howard <[email protected]> wrote: > The 5ghz backup would have been pretty useless on longer links.
