Yes...I considered that...this is in nascent stage.....I am not going to offer ideas or suggestions unless I am hired to consult. The current SCADA boss might be leaving to Western Refinery...so things are on hold.... On Jun 9, 2016 11:10 AM, "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com> wrote:
The existing antennas though are single pol, if they are wanting to go broadband with new radios, I would think dual pol. I would not recommend any frequency converted (900 and 3650 MHz) Ubiquiti radios, they seem to have a variety of problems, also unlikely to have any development thrown at them going forward. In any case, their existing 900 MHz SCADA stuff will likely interfere heavily with any new 900 MHz radios they try to put at the same site, so a graceful upgrade may be impossible anyway. *From:* Jaime Solorza <losguyswirel...@gmail.com> *Sent:* Thursday, June 09, 2016 9:32 AM *To:* Animal Farm <af@afmug.com> *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] If it was you...
