Re: [WISPA] SAF vs Trango

2012-11-02 Thread Travis Johnson
HI, I have spoken to several other WISP's and when they actually compare the SAME radio from SAF to Trango (same power, same license keys, same dishes, etc.) then Trango is 99% of the time less expensive. Yes, it only has a 2 year warranty compared to 5 years, but that's the only difference.

When I have priced them before, SAF was the same price as Trango with their "standard power"... but when you increase to High Power then it's more expensive. And SAF's 5 year warranty is very cool... the bigger question with this type of radio is how quickly can they repair/replace the unit? I

Yes, but the bandwidth savings are not worth the headaches (another box or two to maintain, some sites don't like to be cached, customer support calls, web sites blocking a certain IP address because ALL the traffic from your network is coming from the cache server IP, etc.). Unless you are p
