Re: [WISPA] Solectek Skyway 7000
OK, this gets a bit sticky for me I work on the side as a sales geek for electro-comm and therefore sell this gear. Apply appropriate grain of salt. *I* use this gear in my network because it's priced well and it works. They get away with such low pricing because it's using the Atheros chip set. But it's NOT wifi. The guys at Airaya put their own firmware on the chip. Very cool stuff. The new gear just works. It's got some cool features too. If you don't need to go really fast you can adjust your bandwidth used, I think down to 10 mhz. I don't remember all of the specs. The antenna that they send with the kit are of great quality and have good solid mounting kits. These days they are very big in the 4.9 space (same radios, different programming) and are ready to open up 5.4 as soon as it's allowed (which I was told by the FCC a couple of days ago is VERY, VERY close). http://www.airaya.com/ That help?
