I have to state this again. The network is currently using Trango's p2mp gear. We are replacing it with Mikrotik.
Trango's official list price (since it dropped, as of two weeks ago) is around 700 or 800 a piece. With a fancy Arc antenna/enclosures it ends up being 220 per CPE. With 7 mile links Trango has an 87 rssi while MT has 65. The most throughput I have seen with Trango is 8megs. With MT it is 26megs. If you're geek like me you know the capabilities of MT far surpass Trangos (NAT, firewall, qos, etc). You can't argue with results.
