Read through the Telrad list archives. He ended up saying ballpark pricing on a few things... IIRC.

On a scale of UNBT to fuuuuuck, where on cost would the 320 investment sit? Are we talking 10% more than 320, thats a manageable number for the koolaid, if we are talking 50% then it becomes an issue. We just finally got a scrapper to come take our retired Alvarion gear off our hands, I think the boss cried a little to see half a million dollars going to the scrapyard to yield maybe a grand. but overall, the hardware was solid and still performed the way it was designed all these years later, and they paid fuuuuuck for that gear. Telrad is Alvarion as I understand it, so hopefully they brought over the hardware quality. The big question on our mind is what the back end for this is going to cost (assuming the koolaid has sugar and isnt just food coloring in toilet water) On Thu, Jan 8, 2015 at 11:54 AM, Adam Moffett < dmmoff...@gmail.com > wrote: <blockquote> On the other hand... their ACS software almost assuredly will support the CSM320. Telrad has their own version of that same Gemtek model. It probably is a good migration path as long as you've got the cash. If you want to migrate to LTE you would still have to replace all the CPE eventually. It would be an expensive proposition, but you could do it cleanly....replace the CAP320 with a compatible base station, slowly swap out CPE, then make a firmware change to get yourself up to LTE. I could go on about things I like and don't like about it. Overall I would rather have Canopy, but if you're already swimming in the WiMax side of the pool..... <blockquote> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzAkMGKT5_M I feel like there might be some koolaid here somewhere -- All parts should go together without forcing.
