A Linksys will not make it in 50 below weather, or
in the rain for that matter.

I by no means am giving the opinion not to
use/buy SB products. They are good for the price. My experience with
them is that they are not much better than some retail home devices. No
one can honestly say that SB don't have issues, and don't have more issues
than the majority of commercial products out there. It's just that they are
cheaper and everyone (me included) wants to use less expensive CPE. The
good thing for those that care is that SB products are certified with external
antennas, unlike linksys devices, etc. Also no other company do I
know has the highest officers of the company post regularly. SB is very
willing to hear and make suggestions about problems we are experiencing. I
just sometimes don't feel the SB does very diligent testing when they release
a product/firware upgrade etc. I too have built a stable business on SB
products. I just get tired sometimes of the annoyances I see and have to work
around.

I have well over 100 sB units deployed and they
are performing very, very well. The sB equipment is replacing most of my
older Orinoco stuff that just can't cut the mustard anymore because of the
noise floors around here. I am truely happy with my sB
deployments.

Glad to here it... I would never make a
decision based on one opinion.

Don't be. There are many of us who have
built stable businesses based on this product. Nothing is perfect
(especially at this price point). With anything, if you plan ahead
a bit for some failure, you can make it work. On the whole, SmartBridges
have lowered our install cost and CPE failure issue rate, as well as
making for happier installers (we used to do LMR400 + USB and /or
Karlnet SEC on RG1000).

I was looking into purchasing some of
their equipment, but I'm a little scared now...

Well, since for the most part
smartbridge units are full of "issues"....maybe screwed up is a
little harsh, but relatively accurate. Since anytime someone reports
a problem to SB, the immediate answer is, "well it doesn't happen in
our lab." I know SB is better than any other vendor that I
know of at listening and addressing issues, eventually. My
problem is all the stupid little querks about their products. They
work for a couple months then flake out, then 3 firmware versions
later, something that use to work is broken, then power must be the
issue and you must buy different power supplies, the list goes on.
Don't get me wrong, when a unit works it works just fine, then all
of a sudden it doesn't. That's how I figure.
