So far we've only had one major issue with SB. The newer firmware for the AirBridges (greater than CD ver 1.43) doesn't allow the Linksys Cable/DSL routers we use to pass PPPoE logins, so we haven't been able to upgrade the CPEs so we can remotely monitor and manage them.
Other than that, we've actually replaced our old Access Points with AirPoint Indoor and the added sensitivity of these radios has made our signal go farther. We actually had to replace a few client antennas with smaller ones so they wouldn't burn out their receive amp. Before, we were lucky to have a stable link at 7 miles getting 800Kbps. Now that client is getting 2 megabit, and we have another client at 16.5 miles getting about 300Kbps. We were originally using the indoor AirBridge (because it's 100mW) but switched to the outdoor because once you add the extra cable you've already lost at least 3db of signal, and the installation is much simpler. The little bit of extra cost is made up in the materials and time you save making Cat-5 cables instead of custom length LMR to run in the building.
