Hi, I have a better idea.... someone compile a simple side-by-side comparison of the Dragonwave vs. Trango 18ghz radios. List all the benefits of each radio, and then also list the current price for a "comparable" speed for each. I'm not familiar with the current Dragonwave product, so I will only list the "benefits" of the Trango APEX system (of which I currently have 3 running as our main backbone backhauls): (1) Radio mounted signal display for alignment (2) Optional fiber port (only have to buy the fiber module to plug in) (3) Various channel sizes (10, 20, 28, 40, 50, 80 mhz wide) (4) up to +20db power output (5) Jumbo packets via GigE (6) PoE (-48v) (7) In-band or out-of-band management (8) Separate GigE port for management (9) Rapid Port Shutdown (10) 1+1 redundancy (using a single antenna) (11) Dual power supplies (either PoE port can supply the power) (12) 2 year warranty standard (can be upgraded to 3 year, overnight replacement for $2,000 per link) (13) Price (currently $9,995 with 2ft dishes and frequency coordination. FCC fees are about $1,300 extra). Travis Microserv 3-dB Networks wrote: I'm going to go with Jeff on this one... there has been multiple threads on this topic... I think it has been beat to death. If you want to talk about it offlist I'd be happy to.As far as the price difference... I'd be happy to quote the Dragonwave and let you compare it to the published Trango deals... but my personal opinion is that you are not paying a premium for the Dragonwave name... compared to what I would consider the benefits.

There are plenty of threads on this topic. I would be happy to grab a bunch for you so hit me off off-list. It really depends on your application for which product you would like to go with. I would be more than happy to walk you through everything. I try to refrain from stating opinions in a public forum. -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Brad Belton Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 6:36 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] Need 18ghz link Hello Daniel, Can you elaborate in what way the Dragonwave "performance is much better"? Do you have a comparison chart you can share with us explaining how a Dragonwave stacks up against competing products. Namely Trango in this case. Exactly how close is "close" when you mention pricing between the two products? "Close" is a relative term don't you agree? So, are we talking $5, $50, $500, $5000? Look forward to your responses.

I'd be happy to quote you a Dragonwave link... I think you will be surprised how close it comes to the Trango pricing... and I think the performance is much better (I don't want to rehash that whole thread). We also will take care of all of the licensing work for you. Hit me offlist if you like.

Ideally the company would also procure the licence for us. I am thinking I want the Trango APEX because of it cost / performance. So if anybody has suggestions on a good company to use I am all ears!
