I know you really want to keep the existing gear. But it's really easy to
run new cat5 up to the mount and be done with it. Just pull all the old
crap down and go in with the new.
Or do like we are. We're all wifi gear (well, mostly) and we'll run the
outdoor radios indoors for those who have the cable and antennas already.
If there is ANY problem though, we just jerk out all of the old stuff and
drop in the new.
BTW, the Trango radios are under $375 from EC. I'm not sure how much the
version with the dish is but it's no the nearly $500 that was quoted
earlier.

What Trango units attach to my existing antennas? I thought Trango used
integrated antennas...

My advise, is to buy Trango, and start replacing one of your cells
sites, and then the pulled units you can then use at your turbo cell
sites.

Subject: [WISPA] Looking fora new system
Hi all,
Well, with YDI/Terrorbeam closing the Karlnet office in Ohio, I think I
need to find a replacement for TurboCell systems..
My requirements for a replacement .....
1) must use the same 2.4GHz antennas and amps I currently have
installed.
2) compatible with many different boards for CPE and AP
3) polling or token based. No hidden node issues.
4) tolerant of a wide spread in snr levels between clients.
4) low cost.... (yeah, right!)
I am not interested in 'all in one systems' where I have no ability to
mix n' match antenna's and such.
So far, I have heard a little about Netstream, (from MikroTik), and
about StarOS.
Netstream seems to offer polling and long range PtMP. However, having
to get new licenses every year is annoying.
StarOS offers up to 10 non over lapping channels in the 2.4GHz band.
This could be useful in cleaning up interference issues at some towers.
I lean toward Netstream because I have had good luck with my Mikrotik
routers that are currently in service, but I am more interested in
finding something that will last. I am also concerned about being left
high and dry as ydi/terabeam just did to me and many others.
Anyone out there using one or both of these systems? How about another
system meeting these requirements that I don't know about?
Thoughts?
