I have talked to Trango ( as a matter of fact they visited me here
Tuesday) at length about that issue Gino and they had reasons for
pulling their VAR's and resellers. I kinda figured it had something to
do with the new products and lack of a LARGE profit margin :-)

I know I work with EC. And I know people like Canopy. I know I'm only
supposed to say nice things.
But Motorola is STILL working hard at the FCC level to hamstring this
industry. I'll not support them unless there are no other choices. I
won't even use a moto cell phone at this point, I'm so discussed with
what they've been doing at the FCC.

Need coverage in 3 different directions. And trango ap's only come
with 60* sectors.
Plus, they'll likely put in some video surveillance and that will
need lots of capacity so we're heading off any likely bw issues.

Hiya Johnny,
This is a casino. The security and reliability requirements
rule out any 802.11 type gear.

I would strongly suggest looking at Mikrotik for the
following reasons.
#1 - Pricing - very inexpensive to maintain and swap out
equipment in the event of a failure
#2 - You can provide them up to 36meg connectivity for the
same pricing anyone can offer then 10megs
#3 - Ease of replacements
You can also provide them Wi-Fi connectivity with a MT
Based system for laptops in between the properties if they
desire. The reason I suggest MT is the amount of
flexibility and options you can tack are are far superior
to any proprietory solution out there you can get your
hands on.

Hi All,
I've been asked to provide a network for a complex of buildings.
They like the ease of deployment and flexibility of a Trango based network.
I'll lock them into a 3 year contract that will match the time frame I'll
need for a bank loan for the hardware.
I'll need to put in 3 ap's and 4 cpe units. As well as battery backup units
all installation work etc. Additional cpe is possible but not guaranteed in
the future.
My question is, what do I charge for this? I can handle the monthly part
but I've never put a service contract on a wlan before. Used to do it in my
copier days all the time so I understand the concept. Just need some help
with the numbers.
The site is about 1.5 hours from me, and that far from anyone else that
knows anything about anything too. I believe that the contract price should
be tied to cpe deployed.
Too low and any repair work, device failures etc. will kill me. Too high
and I'll loose the deal. What's standard in the industry? As I'll be using
Trango I'll hopefully be giving them 8 to 9 megs of throughput (all sites
are within 1/8th of a mile) from building to building. I'll likely only
contract for 6 megs though.
thanks,
Marlon
