The RB600 is nice, I just got one of the pre-production ones from WISP-Router and I put a $20 daughterboard on it so now I have 6 mpci on one side! And with the daughterboard its still cheaper than War4 Metro and I get 2 more mpci slots. One thing to note though it will only take POE that is 36-48v so I have to re-engineer my battery arrays at those towers I will be using it on. I think I am only going to use the RB600 on towers that don't use POE cause I can get away with 24v on the normal power jack. One thing I don't like about it is the 2 CF slots on the back are in the way if you plan on verlcro to attach it to your box. Not a big deal I can use standoff's but still that would have been better without them for my situation. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O.

5.3ghz, 3 miles, 10mhz channel, 18.3Mbps one direction 5.8ghz, 9 miles, 20mhz channel, 27.3Mbps one direction A more comparable test would be using the new MT RB600 units (as they are almost exactly the same price as the WAR4 boards). I will get a couple ordered and deployed so we can do some comparable testing. :) Travis Microserv Matt Larsen - Lists wrote: OK, here are some real world examples: 5.3ghz 40mhz channel, 8.5 miles.

Replacing the RB532s with WAR2s (266mhz CPU, comparable to an RB532) nearly doubles the speed. On comparable hardware, I have not come across ANY Mikrotik system that will keep up with StarOS when it comes to dedicated backhaul.

Testing beyond each ethernet port. 2 weeks non-stop stress-testing after we installed and before we deployed gave us 70 megs one way. The MRTG graph looked like a solid block without any deviation.

If we are going to talk REAL THROUGHPUT - - lets get real and everyone use real figures. I ain't talking bench test and "maybe" if I hold one hand in the air, twist my lips standing on one leg. I mean real world - whatcha getting?? Whatcha see and is it a bench test or are you in the real WISP world? :) Mac -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Burgess - Link Techs Inc Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 2:51 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] MT vs StarOS 50 both ways with N-Stream dual and Turbo mode...
