It was one of those "pick something" type deals for our expansion. I liked the look / price of the Ubiquity stuff, but hearing complaints about short supply and firmware issues regarding such a new product prompted the decision to go with the Tranzeo stuff. That, and a couple of my closest WISP associates are also using it helped. I figured we could help each other out in case of emergency. In addition, the pricing cuts helped as well - Looking at sub $100 for a CPE is great compared the Alvarion stuff.....
Now, if we can get this "moving data" issue resolved, I can move this thing forward. The biggest problem is, this is a long time client that moved to a new building in an area we've been trying to get to. We get the POP setup and connect them, and this happens..... Very frustrating. The good part is, it's a very understanding client. The bad part is, they're a financial institution and their patience is getting a little thin.... We did do the Hotfix / Firmware update last evening, so we'll see how it works out today. Thanks for all the suggestions / assistance. -Gary- KosiNet / King Office Service Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurt Fankhauser" <k...@wavelinc.com> To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 12:35 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Speaking of Tranzeo...... >I have 350+ Tranzeo CPE's in the field.
