" The every day, CAnopy versus Trango thread :-) "
First it was the Proxim vs. Sunstream (aka Trango) threads with Allen M.
Winner = Sunstream (aka Trango)
Second it was Alvarion vs. Trango threads with Patrick L.
Winner = Trango
Third it was Canopy vs. Trango threads.....I forget the huge Canopy
proponent.
Winner = <draw> Trango was a better product, but Canopy PtMP is
still here!
I'm just glad Trango finally listened to some of their clients and moved
away from the "cheaper is better/race to the bottom" product and moved into
the licensed arena! Now Trango needs to stop trying to compete with
RadioWaves and focus on continuing to build better/faster licensed radios.
We too still have many Trango radios in the air plugging along very nicely.
We only recently pulled the last of the Sunstream radios offline. I think a
couple of those have earned a home in our little hardware archive collection
and be spared from the landfill. Lol

No question that Canopy stayed in the PtMP game longer, to go beyond the
10mb barrier, with advantage line and OFDM..
But to keep it real.... At a typical Trango Link Budget / Max distance,
inserting a legacy Canopy w/ its inferior small antenna size and weaker link
budget, Canopy would be lucky to get 5mbps, if it could even associate in
our noise floor. How quickly its forgotten, the Canopy 8db AP integ
antenna, and Trango's 14db-18db AP integ antenna, gaining Trango the winning
link budget, even after considering the C/I. It brings back memories of the
past...... The every day, CAnopy versus Trango thread :-)
