what's the cost of these radios?

Can I ask what was the reason for the decision to go with a 2.5 Gbps
SFP cage instead of SFP+? I do not have a single router in any
network I support capable of native 2.5 Gbps SFP. Such an interface is
incredibly rare in layer 3 IP network deployments.
If it had an SFP+ interface it would be trivially easy to software
rate limit a 10GbE optical port in a router (such as a WS-X6704 card
in a Cisco 6500/7600 platform, or a Juniper PC-1XGE-XENPAK) to 2.5
Gbps FD and assign it an appropriate OSPF cost somewhere in between
the cost metrics currently used on 1Gbps and 10Gbs interfaces for
router-to-router backbone links.
If the radio's interface will function at 2.5 Gbps with a
standards-compliant 10GbE SFP+ (/not/ one of the special weird 2.5
Gbps FC SFP) on each end of the link, please disregard everything I
just said above.

Hello and thanks for the questions. The StrataPro does have one
2.5 Gbps SFP cage (along with 3 other GigE ports), but so far we
have not qualified a suitable 2.5 Gbps SFP. That is something we
are working on.
The Xi model is capable of 2 Gbps FDD (4 Gbps aggregate) so that
currently requires using 2 of the ports to achieve. Going to 4
Gbps FDD requires two pairs of radios, in MIMO configuration so
you would be using 2 ports on each of the radios.
Regarding keys, the Si base model allows 500 Mbps FDX, and there
is a key that takes it up to 1 Gbps. The Xi model comes with 1
Gbps FDD capability, with a key that opens it up to the max 2+
Gbps. Yes, AES-256 is an optional key. These are the only keys
involved with this product.
Given the capacity of 1 Gbps and 2 Gpbs on these products, 1 MB
packet buffer should be more than sufficient since they can
transmit at Ethernet line rate.
Let me know if any other questions, or feel free to hit me off list.

Check with John, but I thought he said something about a
2.5Gbps SFP, not sure why they did not go 10G....

So I’m checking out the new Trango StrataPro data sheets…
The Xi model appears to do 4Gbps full-duplex.. but no 10G
SFP+.. So I’d have to use all three SFPs, and one copper
gig to get it?
Other notes: it appears they’re keying it up.. so you get
to pay extra to unlock capacity to 1100Mbps and again to
unlock max capacity to 2200Mbps.
Oh and if you want AES-256, you get to pay again. The 1MB
packet buffer.. seems low.
Anybody else have any thoughts? Anybody got one yet?
