[smartBridges] Just wondering

[Derek Breiland]

Just wondering of all the WISP's in this forum, how many are located in the north country?  This will be my first full season of winter (Minnesota) and I am wondering what failure rates or issues that the cold weather brings to the whole biz.  Reading the literature one is led to believe that it will be uneventful but does anyone have any real life advice or comments?    How does a heavy snowfall affect the signal (huge flakes) or does it?   When my customers ask me I tell them in theory it should not be affected but even I am skeptical.  Do not want to set false expectations.  I have to say that the heavy rain has had zero affect on service but there is more to come.  Even though rated good to -50F, do they really withsatand 100% or are their failures that maybe are due to extreme temps?   Any input is greatly appreciated.
