OK, this gets a bit sticky for me.... I work
on the side as a sales geek for electro-comm and therefore sell this gear.
Apply appropriate grain of salt.
*I* use this gear in my network because it's priced
well and it works. They get away with such low pricing because it's using
the Atheros chip set. But it's NOT wifi. The guys at Airaya put
their own firmware on the chip. Very cool stuff.
The new gear just works. It's got some cool
features too. If you don't need to go really fast you can adjust your
bandwidth used, I think down to 10 mhz. I don't remember all of the
specs. The antenna that they send with the kit are of great quality and
have good solid mounting kits.
These days they are very big in the 4.9 space (same
radios, different programming) and are ready to open up 5.4 as soon as it's
allowed (which I was told by the FCC a couple of days ago is VERY, VERY
close).
That help?

Solectek Skyway 7000
I used to sell Solectek
gear. Years ago. It was a good company with good gear as I
recall. If you are up and running and have a good reputation in your
market it never hurts to try new toys.
These days most of the gear I'm
buying for links like that comes from Airaya. It's great stuff and I
LOVE the 5.3 band!

Solectek Skyway 7000
I have never used the Solectek
equipment and am looking at either trying their Skyway 7101 or the Trango
Atlas for some short building to building links. I have seen enough
favorable posts about the Atlas to know plenty of you are using it
successfully – although I sure wish I could get one of their sales folks to
return a phone call. Leave a message about buying 250 CPEs and no one
calls back.... Anyway J
I would like to get opinions on
the Skyway 7000. This would be for very short <.5 mile links
between buildings. We would normally use Terabeam/Proxim systems but
are looking for alternatives with similar capabilities and 20-40% lower
cost. Any info/opinions on reliability and real world throughput would
be great.
Thanks,
Matt
