Yeah, that's what I was thinking off... Cambium stuck one in a box so 
either they've tested it and it's reliable, or it's a cheap RMA.

My brother is an EE at Raytheon and they use them for all kinds of testing

I've had a pi running our weather station and uploading to wunderground 
for several years. Takes a licking, and keeps on ticking.

The Pi should be fine.  Your real concern is storage - the media and power
loss during a write cycle.

Ramdisk and rsync might help.

[AFMUG] Raspberry pi reliability

[Forrest Christian (List Account)]

I know some of you are using rasberry pi's in your network for various
functions.   We're having a bit of debate here about the long term
reliability of the pi hardware.

I was wondering what everyone's experience is in relation to this?
