I'd argue that the Yagis would not have a narrow enough verticle beamwidth, and Downtilt would be hard to get right, and/or to much energy wasted getting directed in the wrong verticle directions, thus being less efficent than a panel. But I guess it would depend on the needs of where

How does the PowerCode network management... work? I've already started down the Mikrotik PPPoE/Radius path, would it be interoperable? Is it a modular package? We do billing alongside the electric utility billing (which has it's pros and cons), but I'd really like something that could handle

Billing + scheduling = Quickbooks + Google Calendar Sales leads has several alternatives, not sure what you're looking for from Powercode unless it's to see where they all map out so you know where to put your next tower. Service packages/bandwidth/speeds/delinquency is my favorite part. This
