If you've ever taken a Tranzeo apart you will see the radio it entirely enveloped in metal. Including metal foil tape used to seal the radio card inside the enclosure with nothing more than a 1/8" hole to plug the pigtail (ufl connector) into the radio card. The NanoBridges on the other hand have a hole behind the dish that lets rf energy in.
In my experience the noise floor on a tower is better for Nanostations than NanoBridges. The PowerStations are nearly as good as the Tranzeos for the noise floor. I just replaced 4 Tranzeo links last week with NanoBridges after a lightning strike and in every case they out performed the Tranzeo's, but the noise floor for each NanoBridge is down to -85 to -90 so it's a good thing my signals are -60 to -65. I'm not saying Tranzeo doesn't have any issues, just that when doing 4 PtP links in 5.7-5.8 GHz with NanoBridges, plus 2 Rocket M Ap's on 120 deg antennas and 2 Nanostation M5 AP's. There's not a lot of wiggle room for more.
