First, we were talking 900 not 5.8. VL isn't going to go through 2 miles of
trees. But your math is not wrong.
Anywhere one anticipates that they can get 25 subecribers from a cell site,
VL is likely the preferred choice.
The problem is that there are many areas where 25 clients off an AP will
never be an option. Most places that we install StarOS, have no more than 3
CPEs running off them.
Sometimes even only 1.

It is a fair question and what I would say is that the AU is an even
more critical point in the network. Our AUs have options to be inserted
into chassis with redundant power supplies, etc. The difference in cost
of the AU is minimal when working out the entire cost of the sector and
its clients, especially when working in the OPEX issues.
For example, OPEX aside, let's say you are in the AlvarionCOMNET program
and buy at the minimum level of 25 CPE, which would get you a $285/CPE
cost with free shipping. Let's assume all 25 of those attach to a VL
sector. In that case the sector will cost you about $1900 plus $285 x
25, or $9,025. The equivalent size network at Mikrotik with the prices
in this thread would be $348 x 25 + the $500 AU or $9,200 + shipping.
So, not even counting the OPEX issues, reduced truck roll, and shipping
we are $175 cheaper. Then add in the 1 year free warranty, domestic
support, FCC legality, and higher equity value of the network. Let's not
forget no user license fees, no fee for new software upgrades.
Is my math wrong? The business equation seems simple unless I am
seriously missing something.

Dang, that's as much as $100 more than a real BreezeACCESS CPE (under
the AlvarionCOMNET program) without needing to piece things together so
the points of failure risk and truck roll is both much smaller, not to
mention a warranty and domestic supply and support. VL CPE comes with
mounting hardware too and the cable. Our stuff is also all fully FCC
legal.

Exactly, after you add the rootenna, you are at $348, plus
International
Shipping charges (if in US).

Where are people buying their SR9 client setups, if at all ?
What kind of pricing per "CPE"
I'm looking at a couple places, and coming back with like $350 each
for
a
rootenna / cable / SR9 / P.S. and RB112
Anyone see anything different ?
