Title: RE: [smartBridges] Disappointing Throughput AirNic to AirPoint

APPO -> APPO? What kinda antenna config u using? Nice distance on that run eh? :)

"Wireless APPO -> APPO like george's... Lot's cheaper than running cables :)"

Gentlemen,

Brendan is right on target with his assessment.  However, we have a sB APPO
in a PTP link (no WEP) used as a back haul (17.9 miles) that constantly
provides 6 Mbps (plus or minus 0.5 Mbps); clear LOS.  My $0.02 worth.

Best to You,
