Hi Matt, I generally stay out of these things, but I have some questions in order to answer your question:
1. You are referring to used Cisco pricing, right? 2. How much throughput do you require the router to handle? 3. How much are you paying for support? If you need less than 100 Megs (full duplex) of overall throughput, and it's Ethernet only, you can do this with the ImageStream Rebel router with a year of support/warranty for less than $3K. In addition, we offer our CALEA solution (which will become the WISPA CALEA Standard once it is done) on the router for no additional cost.

If money wasn't factor would you prefer Cisco? Anyway, that is a silly question. Here is a better one. I am currently paying around $3k for Cisco 12008s that are fully redundant, can handle today's full tables (i.e. greater than 256,000 routes), route at line speed, support MPLS, etc. Can you name any solution that for the same cost could achieve equivalent results? -Matt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
