Platypus by nature is very extensible and expandable. We have it control every aspect of our wireless broadband service, having it talk so Mikrotiks, Canopy Prizm, and the like, permitting access, controlling bandwidth, assigning static IP addresses, etc. Much of this capability is there

Hello Bryan, Ok, you have definitely shorter cable runs than we do. The cable loss settings may not be as important in your case, but why a split cable on Site A? Twice the chance of connector problems at Site A. Any chance of replacing the two cables at Site A with one LMR-400 cable? I know

[WISPA] T1 Replacement

2008-01-16 Thread Mike Hammett
I am looking to replace some T1 circuits with my wireless network. It would be advantageous to have a complete Layer 2 link through my network from the Ethernet port I hand to the client to the Ethernet port I hand off at the provider's NOC. No IP monkey business for me to worry about. What

Trango GigaLINK radios have eight wayside T1 circuits alongside four independent copper GigE ports for data. If this is too pricy or overkill then I would look into the RAD Data Communications Airmux-200. Gives you up to four T1 ports along with Ethernet transport all in one package. Works well

The network will be routed at every location I have equipment, but I need to tunnel through. I won't be delivering Internet service but an Ethernet local loop from their NOC to their clients. I don't know much about MPLS, but will that allow them to have a standard /30 connecting the NOC

I got responses a little quicker than I thought. It looks like EoIP and MPLS\VPLS will do what I want. Differences... EoIP is Mikrotik only and has additional overhead? It looks like I need to learn more about MPLS suggested sources? I've looked at Mikrotik and Wikipedia's entries on the

So what are you guy finding regarding 18Ghz multi-path. What we learned over this past year is that multipath for Millimeter Wave and high Spectrum ranges, is a different animal. Very picky. 18Ghz specifically is known for negative effects of reflection, that need to be taken into account in

I agree, they seem to be very solid. We have 4 links (I think) with 3 on DragonWave and they are rock solid. Maybe we have 4 on DragonWave. One on Trango is still a pretty new install and may have configuration issues, so my comments about that system should be taken with a grain of salt.
