Re: 900MHz at 9 miles and some trees Whichever vendor you choose, go with the connectorized CPE. You may need to play with different antennas to make this work. The standard 10dBi panel (built into the Trango) is a good place to start but a high gain yagi is good to have around.
We did a 5.5 mile install with trees on the CPE side today and couldn't see the tower. With the built in Trango antenna we had a -80dbm signal but the speeds sucked. (Mostly due to interference.) Dropped a 13dBi yagi in and signal dropped to -77dBm and speeds were a rock solid 2.2 Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps up with TCP.
Our Trango APs do have the twice or more daily reboot issues but no clients have complained. However, our next 900MHz deployment we are moving to Canopy. |

Heber Springs, AR | Thanks for the answers. Sounds like a high probability of success.
said by Believer:Our Trango APs do have the twice or more daily reboot issues but no clients have complained. However, our next 900MHz deployment we are moving to Canopy. Could you elaborate more on the decision to switch? (I was somewhat leaning toward Trango.) Is it just the reboot issue?

| Ditto we just moved from the Trango camp to Canopy - fixes like forcing half duplex to fix what looks like an ARP cache overflow on the M900S Trango is just plain stupid. Waiting for the first Canopy delivery now - eta 3 weeks!... seems they're a tad popular. BTW - the Canopy CPE's may be cheaper in bulk but not one at a time :-( |

What are you paying for Canopy SM's? What quantity? |
