Re: [WISPA] backhaul choices

[Bret Clark]

I don't recall the distances you needed to run, but we've had really good luck with the Solectek Skyway 7000 products and have quite a few installed as backbone PTP links. I believe they are in the price range you are looking at. Bret Josh Luthman wrote: Assuming you can get 40mhz of 5ghz spectrum and not need it anymore, MT is great and it's cheap. Finding that 40mhz is your major concern. I am running two backhauls, each with two pairs of radios (that's 40mhz of spectrum) and they're 99% awesome. Don't use the 532/333 (433ah IMO) or dual nstreme (use Butch's pseudo fdx OSPF) and you'll get that .999%.

Why would you not want to use a MT solution for about $500 for the link with the ability to easily go 30/60MB depending on 20/40Mhz channel. I'd say its proven there are a multitude of people that use the gear for backhaul on this list and any of them will tell you its a solid performer. Is it the absolute most reliable rock solid gear available? Depends who you ask. I've had MT gear running I've forgotten about for many years without a hickup. Also had some that has to be replaced a bit more than other solutions might need to be due to ethernet sensitiity - depends on how & where its installed. But, considering the alternative prices you could get an awful lot more for your money with this solution. You could even put in two radios on each side and link them together using on of many different ways for redundancy - still at a fraction of the cost of other solutions. The positive side is your price range is very realistic for that throughput - you have many good solid choices you won't go wrong with most of which has been discussed on this list already. I'll give you one more... I have an external trango Atlas link coming down in about a week I can part with ;) Scott Carullo Brevard Wireless 321-205-1100 x102 -------- Original Message -------- From: "Marlon K.

But it doesn't answer the original question! I don't have a need for a 100meg full duplex backhaul solution. 20 megs both ways will do just fine for now. What ideas do y'all have for a 20+ meg backhaul solution. Something less than $3000 if it's at all possible. I know about the MT gear. I''ve already used one. And I REALLY like the Airaya gear it'll replace. I'm just wondering what people are using and liking. I don't want any unproven brand new gear. Or something too cheap like an 802.11a ap and client setup. thanks, marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Butch Evans" <but...@butchevans.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 3:53 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] backhaul choices On Wed, 2009-09-16 at 13:22 -0400, ralph wrote: As far as I can tell from the FCC info, only 2 routerboards have any FCC Part 15 Class A or B computing device approval. They are the Crossroads and the RB411- both of which already have on board wireless. You are half correct. The Crossroads does have a built-in radio. The RB411 does not. There IS a RB411R that has a built-in radio (2.4GHz). -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://www.wispa.org/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * ******************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
