Still working on getting non-licensed gear to support SFPs. Lots of WISPA presentations on fiber up to switches the last... four years or so.

Interested to know what equipment (power) you are running at the base, and what equipment (switches, routers, POE, Ethernet protection etc.) that you have at the top. How is it working for you? Has having everything at the top proved to be much more stable? It’s kinda scary to change from our current way of doing it, but power surges are kicking are butt, clobbering radios on the Ethernet side (mostly ePMP). Looking forward to some good feedback.
