On the motorola webinar today they talked about the benefits of diversity and had comparisons between 900 3.65 part d and motorola's 320. Of course I understand the 90 percent of what they probably said was a stretch of the truth. They had a guy in Florida that tested all three and the 320

What issues did you have with Nera? We were looking to go with them due to the issues we have had with Ceragon. We looked at Dragonwave as well but several things turned us off of them. I don't know of any other big players that can do 200+ mbit with options of 11Ghz, 6Ghz and external antennas

The diagnostics were all windows based it seemed. The issue we have is that not all machines are windows based and it would be nice to have our monitoring system be able to run some of the diagnostics as well (which is Linux based). Not only that but it felt like the deep diags were all closed

Oh, and PoE seemed too Unlicensed-ish for us. I hate dealing with PoE with any equipment backhauls, no matter the brand. We need the ability to mount a licensed link without worrying how far the Cat5 run is. We have also had some serious issues with Cat5 lightning arrestors and we would really

Well with the exception of the CAT5 limitations I believe your concerns with the Horizon Compact are unfounded. I have nearly 40 links in Manhattan on some of the largest buildings in America that get direct hits all the time and have had NO issues with Transtector arrestors. Good luck with

So you are making your decision on what you saw with Dragonwave equipment in 2007??? That is not making a lot of sense. You can open the diagnostic files in notepad and look at everything. No secrets. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: Adam Kennedy

One would think. However the Dragonwave equipment we saw was PoE. But again, We haven't seen a demo of Dragonwave since 2007. We have used Ceragon and Nera recently (this year). Has anyone seen issues with Nera equipment? What problems did you have? On 4/21/10 11:18 PM, Kurt Fankhauser

There is LOS between the points, The bandwidth requirements are not so much, the connections will be used as WAN connection to access internet and some applications at the Hq so anything around 20MB should be sufficient. On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 7:42 AM, Chris Gotstein ch...@uplogon.com wrote:
