RE: [WISPA] RE: Solectek Skyway 7000 -- Follow Up
I need to chime in. it seems Airaya is using common AP PCBs with their own firmware, but I doubt that Firmware truly breaks 11a protocol. I have yet to see a regular 11a or 11b PCB that has custom firmware that breaks the 11a PHY MAC. I do have seem custom PCB like the Trango, WaveIP and Alvarion, that they use 11a chips but they implement their own PHY MAC but thats on custom PCB with 11a RF chips only. I doubt that Airaya can modify 11a PHY MAC on a off the shelf PCB. Anyone with more info? Input ? Gino A. Villarini, Aeronet Wireless Broadband Corp.

I've passed it on to Mike at Airaya for comment. One of MY big selling points on the Airaya gear is that it's NOT 802.11a like the others (Tranzeo, MT, StarOS, etc.) that you're likely thinking of. It uses the 802.11a CHIP to keep costs down but they've put their own firmware on the radio. I'm running these units in a rotten environment and they work better than my Trango distribution system at the same tower sites.

Hi Matt - I am definitely interested in why. We are tipping our toes
into the Tranzeo pond, and Airaya was a possibility.
I'm (negatively) impressed with the pics, of course.
Thanks,
Bob

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 you?re 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

Re: [WISPA] RE: Solectek Skyway 7000 -- Follow Up
That's an Atheros chipset on the PCB but what type of PCB is it? The model # in the pics looks like 8WAPD15_5A1 but Google.com doesn't turn anything up on it. Looks like a homebrew solution IMO. -Shannon - Original Message - From: Matt Glaves [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wireless@wispa.org Sent: Monday, March 27, 2006 10:46 PM Subject: [WISPA] RE: 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.
