18 pigtails don't cut with large dishes. Further, the loss on crap coax at 5.8Ghz is quite high even with short lengths. From a shear cost perspective there is little reason to use crap coax for short pigtails. Without cost being a major factor all the benefits of using quality coax start

Travis, I fully agree. The 2.4Ghz product is one that we have not used yet, but one we will need to start using soon, based on the fact that we used all the 5.8 channels available at many cell sites. 5.3G is good for expanding cells if for the close in neighborhoods, but it just doesn't have

I second, third this motion and have contacted Trango regarding this. I have some towers where six AP's is fine, but I have a lot more smaller locations where it is hard to justify 6 of them for a site. I certainly hope this changes so we can deploy these in smaller areas.

I don't think Trangos new lower price was to wipe out StarOs. IF an intent was there to wipe someone out, I'd say more likely, it would be Canopy. But I don't even think that intent was the purpose.. Giving WISPs better prices helps them grow their businesses, and compete with the commodity
