I have to run out into the field to work on a Bridgewave link (people pay
good money for that :-). I'll answer this tonight.

Hi,

I have a better idea.... someone compile a simple side-by-side comparison of
the Dragonwave vs. Trango 18ghz radios. List all the benefits of each radio,
and then also list the current price for a "comparable" speed for each.

I'm not familiar with the current Dragonwave product, so I will only list
the "benefits" of the Trango APEX system (of which I currently have 3
running as our main backbone backhauls):

(1) Radio mounted signal display for alignment
(2) Optional fiber port (only have to buy the fiber module to plug in)
(3) Various channel sizes (10, 20, 28, 40, 50, 80 mhz wide)
(4) up to +20db power output
(5) Jumbo packets via GigE
(6) PoE (-48v)
(7) In-band or out-of-band management
(8) Separate GigE port for management
(9) Rapid Port Shutdown
(10) 1+1 redundancy (using a single antenna)
(11) Dual power supplies (either PoE port can supply the power)
(12) 2 year warranty standard (can be upgraded to 3 year, overnight
replacement for $2,000 per link)
(13) Price (currently $9,995 with 2ft dishes and frequency coordination. FCC
fees are about $1,300 extra).

I'm going to go with Jeff on this one... there has been multiple threads on
this topic... I think it has been beat to death.  If you want to talk about
it offlist I'd be happy to.
 
As far as the price difference... I'd be happy to quote the Dragonwave and
let you compare it to the published Trango deals... but my personal opinion
is that you are not paying a premium for the Dragonwave name... compared to
what I would consider the benefits.

All,
 
When comparing exactly apples to apples, there is about a 10-20% premium
for a Dragonwave product.
 
There are plenty of threads on this topic.  I would be happy to grab a
bunch for you so hit me off off-list.  It really depends on your
application for which product you would like to go with.  I would be
more than happy to walk you through everything.
 
I try to refrain from stating opinions in a public forum.
 
-Jeff

Hello Daniel,
 
Can you elaborate in what way the Dragonwave "performance is much
better"?
Do you have a comparison chart you can share with us explaining how a
Dragonwave stacks up against competing products.  Namely Trango in this
case.
 
Exactly how close is "close" when you mention pricing between the two
products?  "Close" is a relative term don't you agree?  So, are we
talking
$5, $50, $500, $5000?
 
Look forward to your responses.
 
Thank you,
 
 
Brad

Well...
 
I'd be happy to quote you a Dragonwave link... I think you will be
surprised
how close it comes to the Trango pricing... and I think the performance
is
much better (I don't want to rehash that whole thread).
 
We also will take care of all of the licensing work for you.
 
Hit me offlist if you like.

I am looking for a good place to get an 18ghz link, where do you guys
suggest. Ideally the company would also procure the licence for us. I
am thinking I want the Trango APEX because of it cost / performance.
So if anybody has suggestions on a good company to use I am all ears!
 
Thanks,
