Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba Point to Point (PTP)

[Scott Smith]

I've used a wide range of PTP solutions over the past 15yrs, but most recently we have a microwave (FCC licensed link) between our campus and our Airport, which is about 6 miles as the crow flies.  This link is a Trango 11/18GHz link, and 315Mbps-full duplex.  Rain, ice, snow, really don't bother this link much.  The only issue weather related we had was wind, as it would turn the dish.  We finally fixed that and it's been completely reliable since.  I should add we have direct line of sight and no trees even remotely close to the fresnel zone. Recently we had a project pending with a Motorola PTP 600, I believe, and it's throughput was about the same and the price point was really attractive. I've also looked at other solutions in the past, but these are the most recent ones I'm most familiar with.

How reliable is it for you. How much does the weather affect it? How much through put are you getting and in what frequency are you using? We are looking to have a temporary deployment for a particular building that is less than a mile away and has excellent line of sight. Any input would be great. Thank you in advance.   Brian J David Network Systems Engineer Boston College     ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. -- Scott Smith  Network Engineering Information Technology Southern Illinois University Carbondale  Redhat Certified Engineer ssm...@siu.edu ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
