Im not stuck in the 1950s. Im
not looking for vacuum tubes and 100lb power supplies to justify my purchases.
I could go to a number of other vendors and get the same 802.11a setup for $700
or less. The pictures speak volumes and it seems a fair number of the
subscribers on this list got a lot of information on the product from the
pictures alone. Others asked for my list and I sent it. I dont
need Airaya suing me, so Ill let their hardware do the talking. I
know for a fact I have cost them a number of future sales based the responses Im
receiving from other members who were considering their product for future
deployments.
I sent you the same list of 15 or so items
so you can make your own call. Here is one that I really love:

Notice where it says AES encryption?
Its listed on every PDF and vendor page I have seen for the unit.
It was a deciding factor in my selection of this unit. It will be a
really great feature when it is actually implemented. You get WEP for
now. Would have been nice if there was an asterisk there telling you AES
Support Coming in Quarter 3 2006.

Times are changing. If you want devices with lots of
chips and blinky lights you'll have to pay extra. Everything it done at
the board level these days. And everyone is using the same basic chip set
these days. Airaya writes their own mac level firmware for them.
I have 4 links. 2 of the original version (prior to
what you've got there) give me a little bit of trouble on a tough link (fresnel
zone). The new radios haven't skipped a beat though.
I love my Airaya radios. They've been a great value.
I'm curious, you've not said why you don't like them.
Is there something about the performance? Software? Setup?
Gotta be something other than what's in those pics.
laters,
Marlon

Solectek Skyway 7000 -- Follow Up
Hey Folks,
Last month I posted to the list asking
about low cost 5Ghz bridges and a few folks responded that I should check out
Airaya. I decided to give them a try based on some really excellent
discounts from one of our vendors. In short, I hate them J If youre
interested in why, feel free to hit me off list..
We bought two complete links and before
installing the first one I cracked it open and took a picture of its high tech
innards to share with this list. I hope this helps those looking at sub
$3k PTP bridges.

I have never used the Solectek equipment and am looking at
either trying their Skyway 7101 or the Trango Atlas for some short building to
building links. I have seen enough favorable posts about the Atlas to
know plenty of you are using it successfully although I sure wish I
could get one of their sales folks to return a phone call. Leave a
message about buying 250 CPEs and no one calls back Anyway J
I would like to get opinions on the Skyway 7000. This
would be for very short .5 mile links between buildings. We would
normally use Terabeam/Proxim systems but are looking for alternatives with
similar capabilities and 20-40% lower cost. Any info/opinions on
reliability and real world throughput would be great.
Thanks,
Matt
