If it's your equipment and the customer didn't damage it (hit it with a rock etc.) then it's your problem to deal with.
 
The cheaper the gear, usually the easier it is to break :-).
 
I've had much less trouble this year with cpe from Tranzeo than from any other brand I've used.

Subject: [WISPA] lightning

We had the lightning storm of the century here 2 days ago.  It was an awesome spectacle to witness.  It was a much more distressing spectacle to watch our network map begin to blink red all over the place.  Which leads me to a couple of questions:

 

How do you handle customer installations that get fried?  We install and own the gear.  We are taking the external ones on the chin.  We took down one panel that has a big black hole right in the center. Another customer has a hole in his roof- our gear died along with the roof. What do you do if the customer AC takes a shot, and burns your equipment?  Do they pay because it came in on their side or do you take the replacement and the truck roll on the chin because you own the equipment?

 

We have multiple brands of products on the same towers.  The tower that took a hit was populated with, among other things, some B-14s, proxim QB, and some Tranzeos.  All units are grounded to the same structure/bussbar. The Tranzeos seem much more sensitive to lightning than some of the other products.  Has anyone had any similar experiences with them?

 

Thanks

Chris
