Don't get me wrong, I'm not avoiding a certified system. However, it is just one of the many factors that go in to choosing a system. The cards I am using are certified with the antennas I use (to the best of my knowledge, waiting for the FCC to come back up).

I will have my Mikrotik certification issues sorted out this summer. As Marlon said earlier, the FCC isn't going after ma and pa WISP, but after gross negligence in vendors and manufacturers.

I like to think of it more like constructive public pressure rather than paranoia. Paranoia would be a term used in regard to unfounded concern. Certification as a matter of law is not unfounded concern, it is fact and therefore paranoia is not a just description of the pressures we see being placed on the makers of the platform. I personally love the Mikrotik platform but feel it should have a suite of certified system options for wireless use which we do not see currently. The lack of this has limited my ability to consider use of this platform for wireless solutions. I still use Mikrotik often for SoHo router / firewall / hotspot gateways / etc. I would consider it for some wireless applications if there were FCC certified options available. Until then I will not buy anything from anyone that is not FCC certified from this date forward. I spent about $300K on gear last year. Vendors take note!

Rick,

Does that mean we can take a 532 board and a cm9 and use it elsewhere
and consider it certified ?

No. You would have to use the exact same parts to be considered legal from the antenna to the power supply. This would mean you would have to get the manufacturer of all these parts in the trango system. If you took this approach you would be taking on the responsibility to make sure this really a was certified system.

I assume you read the FAQ that Jack Unger setup to answer these questions about certification.

Dawn DiPietro
