Yeah, Same boat. Our first 5800 PtMP backhaul was in place for 7 years, and just had two reboot in that period, staying operational all other time. One firmware update, and one power outage. It was amazing how long and reliably they could run. Can't post time though, we just recently replaced

Any recommendations for routers that have multiple 10 GigE interfaces? I believe the PowerRouter can only do 3 and I'm looking for at least 4, even up to 8 or 10. I didn't see anything from ImageStream that went that high. I don't need to do 100 Gigs of throughput, but if you need 1 GigE of co

Yes for 4.9 GHz for Public Safety, it means we are now free to change the keying to match the new regulations. It won't affect the 5.2 GHz UNNI power rules with DFSII. Hope this helps. Kevin -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behal

You aren't going to find any PC based system able to accomplish that. Its because of the Bus speed limits. Also don't plan on doing Bandwdith management on it with connections of dissimlar speed, if selecting X86 type systems because of the clock speed limit. Using NAPI, Quad processor, and PCI-
