Well as for backhaul I would not recommend SmartBridges equipment if you = are going to plan on having 20 or more users connected through that = backhaul.  We are a medium sized WISP and have found that after about 20 = users (bridges) connected through APpo's and things started to fall = apart.  Also you have to deal with extra devices in the 2.4ghz spectrum = to interfere with you. We had 3 such senerios setup on our networks to seperate remote sites = and have since changed them to 5.7ghz Motorola Canopy equipment. =20 I am excited to say that since switching the equipment, we have had more than 30 days uptime without rebooting the device. And exceptional performance even during the Welchia / Blaster network storms. Sure the Motorola Canopy stuff is over priced but for 5 nine's reliability it is your only option. Be sure to let me know if you have additional questions about the 5.7 Motorola Canopy Backhaul Units.   Here is a little info on our backhauls.   3 Total   1 - 6.30 Miles - LOS 1 - 6.45 Miles - LOS 1 - 5.39 Miles - LOS We worked a little extra to get Line of Site however Motorola claims this system will work up to 20 miles (reflectors and both ends) without LOS.   -TJ Burbank Last Mile Wireless   ----- Original Message ----- From: Derek Breiland To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 5:21 PM Subject: [smartBridges] Bachauls I would be interested to know what any of you are using backhauls between towers.  I am considering 5.8.  Ideas and general info, manufacturers, and model info would be greatly appreciated.
