I do not know why the radios in 60, 70 and 80 GHz are not in the $5K per
pair range. They can be built in that price range with plenty of profit
and the rate of sales would likely be 100 times what they are now. I
have tried to find a way to justify buying these radios but right now
fiber is a better value because of the inflated radio pricing.

It doesn;t really matter, because the Proxim GB 60Ghz PTP radio is a
nice radio, and not likely to get discontinued who ever ends up owning
the change ownership happy Proxim. The bigger question is wether
60Ghz will meet your need. The real excitement is in the 70 Ghz and
80Ghz bands, that have longer distances applicable for WISPs. What
will be most existing is when 70-80Ghz gear is down to Proxim 60Ghz
price. I really see no reason a 70-80Ghz radio needs to be any more
costly than the 60Ghz ones.

Hi,
Several weeks ago I posted BridgeWave and GigaBeam prices and
quick features of wireless Gbps gear.
Has anyone tried or know about this option:
-- Proxim Gigalink 6451e- 60Ghz; unlicensed; $10,500 complete link;
? 5-year hardware warranty; 1Gbps
Pricing is attractive, isn't it (specially when customer's budget
is very constrained)? But is Proxim a reliable company at this point?
Thanks.
Mario
