Here is what he said (which led to my post about ours being the last choice to try, but it would been the most cost effective overall had we been able to get him to do it first. By the time he tried Alvarion, he had already spent 2 days getting the StarOS up using the Trango tools. Anyway, here is Tom's exact comments on the subject, unedited:
"We took the time to do a test with Alvarion B40 that we had on hand. The Alvarion picked up the noise in its survey. The Alvarion gave us accurate SNR readings that we could use to best plan the link configuration. And the link quality was perfect as well using the 28dbi and 23 dbi antennas. So had I used the Alvarion VL to begin with, I would have saved our company two days in labor, and would have had all the tools that I needed to install the link easilly the first time and to adapt in the future. Alvarion clearly would have been the winning choice. It gave me confidence that in future jobs IF I had to design a link in advance blind, I could order an Alvarion, and it likely would best be qualified to complete the job," Patrick Leary AVP WISP Markets Alvarion, Inc. o: 650.314.2628 c: 760.580.0080 Vonage: 650.641.1243 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Butch Evans Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 7:13 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: RE: [WISPA] Real World comparison of Trango-staros-Alvarion On Wed, 27 Sep 2006, Brad Larson wrote: >Butch, I don't believe Tom spent 2 days installing the Alvarion >link....Brad Nope. If I implied that, I apologize. He spent 2 days installing _A_ link. Part of the time was with Trango and the final (and current) link was StarOS. As I understand it, the Alvarion never got installed, or if it did, it was replaced with the StarOS for reasons which he detailed in the original post in this thread. -- Butch Evans Network Engineering and Security Consulting 573-276-2879 http://www.butchevans.com/ Mikrotik Certified Consultant (http://www.mikrotik.com/consultants.html) -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ ************************************************************************ ************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses(192). ************************************************************************ ************ ************************************************************************ ************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses(43). ************************************************************************ ************ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
