Re: 5.8 GHz Gear
Yes I was originally going to use that, until I read about the 5.8 Gear, so I wanted to make sure I was making the best decision. I've included a pic of the area around where I'm going to install in the above post. |

It will combine the best of both worlds. It should be unstoppable!
The 5.8 will get thrashed by the trees to some degree. You might consider 2.4 before 5.8...
BTW, you do not have many trees...trust me.

| Do you know when the 900 OFDM gear is to be out? I'm looking to start buying equipment in the next couple of months, and if it is going to be in 3 mo, I may wait, just for it.
Thanks for the tree comment. I thought that I did have a lot of trees, but from atleast the WaveIP side of things there is no difference in price between the 900 MHz and the 2.4 GHz, but I would rather have the ease of install with the RSU that they have. They have a RSU for the 2.4 gear, but I don't think that it would get very far. |

Ummmm...you should wait. I think that this will fit in with your timeframe. It should be "widely available" at that time.
Trust me...!
The RSU rocks! I would have to say that it one of the major reasons that I like the WaveIP gear. The 2.4 RSU will work also...it just needs to be near a window, pointed in the right direction.

Albion, IN | I think I will wait then, will the price be comparable to the current 900 MHz gear or do you expect a price increase? |

Albion, IN | Sadly this has become quickly off target, but atleast I've gotten my questions answered. Thanks John for all your help. Now I must wait and drool over this new gear that is coming out. |
