Well, I seen this situation of needing spares a long time ago, that's why I choose to standardize all my towers on one platform so I only have to stock enough routerboards for 1 full tower. Then that way it doesn't matter which tower gets hit, I at least have the same boards on them all so my spare

Josh, You may want to consider having "spares" of this equipment on hand for future problems. We keep enough spares to replace an entire tower (licensed backhaul, AP's, UPS, rebooters, etc.) in our tower truck, and we still have enough extra stuff at the office for more repairs if needed. Tra
