One more add: Properly engineered, fixed wireless links can have better-than-wireline availability. Two jobs ago, we had customer links with zero dropped packets in 5 years, which is outstanding compared to most copper-based services.
Properly engineered, however, is the key. Make sure whom-ever is building your links looks at vendor specs, builds a real link budget (including losses from connectors, cable, grounding, etc) properly weather seals everything, and try to get at least a a 20db fade margin if you can. If the things I just mentioned are confusing to your RF guy, you might want to get outside help. On 2/5/15, 3:17 PM, "Scott Weeks" <sur...@mauigateway.com> wrote: > >Had to run off to a meeting.
