If you are building a product where your key constituents are rural, and keep in mind this product was conceived after the Motorola split, the fact that you were counting on reflector dishes from day one means that the dish was an afterthought, an add on versus something like the Nanobridge or the Nano/Powerbeam, which makes no sense to me. It was a reactive design instead of building something from day 1 that was adaptable with the original mechanical architecture. My feelings towards reflector dishes is that they are a patch for the original design not meeting design specs that were really needed for the target market. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to see they have something today but it took 3 years and compared to the new Nano/PowerBeams, it’s a kludge that takes longer to assemble. The quality control and engineering is far superior on the radio itself but the mechanicals are weak and labor intensive.
I’m probably one of the few guys that uses Nanostation 5M Locos as my primary radios because of my planned migration to 802.11ac but I’m sure overseas, it’s used a lot more. My only guess is that since the U.S. is only 20% of the worldwide market or less, that product fit the world market better.

They can give billions of dollars to the cell phone and telephone carriers and they can’t spend a couple million bucks to get another certification lab in place so manufacturers aren’t screwed for 6 months waiting to get a piece of paper that says they can legally sell their product? How much money is the industry losing because of these delays. T-Tom Wheeler needs to quit figuring out how to help his future multi-billion dollar consulting buddies and fix this problem.
