Hi,

We have 80+ tower sites. We have Trango deployed on all of them (5.8ghz, 2.4ghz and 900mhz mixed) and Mikrotik deployed on about 65 of them. So we still install Trango, but also install Mikrotik.

Yes, you do have to be very careful to not self interfere and to coordinate everything, especially if you have to make any channel changes (we have seen our 2.4ghz radios cause self-interference at 50 miles apart).

>From 1 to 1000 subs we were deploying Lucent 900mhz Wavelan cards in PC's
and running LMR-400 to an external antenna (1997). We then switched to
2.4ghz Lucent using 3Com bridges with PCMCIA cards and still running
LMR-400. We were charging $500 for install. We had cable and DSL for
competition. We were charging $50/month for a 1Mbps service (which was
really more like 500kbps service).

Today, we are charging $99 installation and $29.95 for 512k, $39.95 for
1Mbps, $49.95 for 1.5Mbps, etc. We now have cable, DSL, 2.5ghz licensed
WiMax and two other Canopy WISP's in our area. We are still doing 100+
installs per month.
    

What gear are you using today?  Has the recent downturn in the economy
hurt you any?

We found that the Canopy gear scales better due to the GPS sync.  In
past with Trango and other gear we would fight self interference on
900 quite a bit.  With over 20 tower sites its hard to coordinate.
Apparently you have not had those problems.  Been 3 years since we
deployed anything but Canopy.
