Hey Travis, Interesting information regarding the Apex. I assumed it only had the PoE port and the SFP port. So, are you saying it has two PoE ports and the SFP port? I guess I need a copy of the Apex manual as well and do some reading. Go ahead and send it to me if you have it handy. W

E-band in Microwave point to point solutions is 70-90GHz approximately (71-76GHz, 81-86GHz, 92-95GHz). That would mean you're looking at Bridgewave, E-band, and Gigabeam AFAIK. Bridgewave is by far the market leader, and my personal favorite. We have also recently started selling E-band, and it

It's just how Trango designed the Giga. As I mentioned in an off list email, the "modem" that calculates the Giga's RSSI is located in the IDU and not the ODU. This is why the IF cable is so critical with the Giga. There were/are reasons why Trango designed the Giga this way (regarding future pr
