Randy, Dumb question.... If you are a wisp what would be the motivation to certify a "kit"?
Its been clearly stated that you can take the RB, a radio card and stick it in an enclosure and use it to your hearts content legally per FCC / UL rules. Why would anyone do anything other than just use the parts - except if you are reselling the gear... I think that's where you run into the issue of having to have the whole system certified vs just buying and using the parts. Is that correct? lol sorry to be such a pita but I'd like some definitive answers just once so I can put this to bed... Questions I ask myself... 1) Ok, Its legal and perfectly accepted for me to buy a RB411, a XR5, a PoE-24i, an ARC 5Ghz Gen 2 Enclosure put it all together and use it for my on network or customers all day long every day (assuming I'm legal power, correct bands etc)... True or False 2) Assuming #1 above is True - I cannot sell this equipment as a Brevard Wireless Model 500 ptp radio bridge on the retail market without getting the whole system certified as a "kit" including all parts, documentation, power supplies etc... True or False 3) If #1 and #2 above are both true, I'm clear thanks conversation over. If either one is false we have a lot more to talk about...
