Patrick, Rssi is very important to determine if a link is properly aligned and its achieving its link budget.
Altough we dont use alvarion(yet), we are currently researching backhaul options and the way we comission ptp links here is that we run the calcs on radio mobile and spreedsheet to determine the link budget in advance to implementation. Snr wont help much there...

Not sure why you consistently harp on us though since no one else has it either other than your longtime preferred vendor. I am not as convinced about your complaint about RSSI. Is it just used to RSSI like being used to feet in stead of meters. But also, isn't RSSI less sophisticated and a less useful number than SNR since it is only an indication of receive signal without discounting noise? SNR provides a more accurate representation of wanted signal since it discounts for unwanted noise. Not sure of your complaint about the RJ45. No one else remarks about it and we don't have issues with water intrusion. In other words, it works well. If the opening was enlarged you increase the potential for water intrusion. Following the color code? Yes, as an old cabling guy, I would agree. But I am pleased to note that one is really running out of things to harp about when one continually highlights this a major deficiency. So now that I have responded here to your public mail, will you please admit that even if the VL came to life and saved your kid from a flood you complain that it was not fast enough and that it ripped the kid's clothes. I wish some day you'd accept that your customer chose VL and you should take the opportunity to learn about it instead of still trying to make it fail so you can get them to switch to Trango. Even the best radios will have room for improvement and every decent brand should have something special that differentiates it. You work so hard to find fault you miss opportunities to become proficient in more than one brand. So accept our invitations to allow engineer visits and accept our invitations to be trained. Know what I mean?
