One of the reasons to use Trango
is....
All products, 900, 2.4, 5.3, 5.8. PTP,
all have a common sceme.
Linktest command - to diagnose link
health.
Dual Polarity on the Fly - to quickly adapt, and
repair network interference.
Low Price - For small communities deployments,
lowest CPE price on market, regarding Fox Atlas.
Easy configuration sceme- offering remote
management, Layer 2 security, large packets (VLAN pass), uninhibited
bridging.
Polling mechanism- To deliver consistent
performance as the network grows.
Built in basic surge protection.
Support excellent.
You can't lose going this path.
Plus, Trango gear has shown to hold its value, if
you fail, and need to liquidate your gear after the fact.
One of the reasons to use Self made gear (Mikrotik,
StarOS)....
1. Flexible to expand your network at rock bottom
cost, home to home realy with jsut a $100 add-on to existing CPE, without
needing a direct shot to the central tower from every home. This is
not only a cost saving in equipment, but in time, saving getting approval
for installation plans with home owners or MTU property managers, or preventing
the need to even get approvals.
2. Latest trend gear, available NOW, to
deploy today. In other words, OFDM APs available.
Has its benefits, which can not be denied. However,
I chose Trango.
If needing carrier class gear, that can
consistently deliver 20 mbps speeds or higher per sector, Alvarion may also be
an excellent choice. But its about double the cost, and you lose
flexibilty in many areas of business.

Chris:
I've heard so much
about Trango that I'm really intrigued! What is it that you use for 900
MHz? Why would I choose Trango over WaveRider anyway?
Thanks.

Pete:
Thank you very
much for the detailed response. I wouldn't say I will be desperate as
I'm doing it mostly as a benefit to the community and money is a side-note for
me (I already have a great career so I'm really in it for the fun). Have
you tried Trango's 900 MHz, and if so, did it compare well to WaveRider?
Secondly, what equipment for the 802.11b have you had the success with?
Thanks again!

JohnnyO:
It seems to be the
consensus is not to have any contracts for the service. It also seems to
be the consensus that other successful WISPs are having great success not
charging rock bottom prices. I've heard great things about WaveRider in
general and it seems virtually everyone also says that if I offer more than 1
Mbps to customers then I'm pushing it with WaveRider. You're right about
the local business comments.. I've seen it work very well in our "tight-nit"
community. I probably should up the price a bit and rethink my WaveRider
strategy. I HAVE to have 900 MHz.. other WISPs have seriously come and
gone with their 2.4 GHz stuff due to the trees and so I'm stuck between a rock
(WaveRider) and a hard place (Trango). Any ideas in this regard?
Thank you kindly.

Mark:
Thank you very
much for your comments. I'm planning on the snail pace to get started.
:)

Brian:
I can probably
help you with this. What OS is the sub using? What kind of backup
do you want? Data only, Ghosting, Full backups with incremental, how
often, etc? How many machines, is this server-based, or
client-based?
------------
Matt:
You stated that
you "used trango in the past and don't use them anymore"... who do you use
now? Thanks.
------------
Blair:
I wanna be your
friend. I need hand-holding and you sound like you were in the position
I'm in today and can really help. What equipment are you using?
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Joshua
