[wsfii-discuss] What is the best and long range Point to Multi Point radio?

Sat Feb 24 17:33:57 UTC 2007

We have installed installing canopys at 50km+ here in the mountains of
Ecuador and they are a good bang for the  buck.   Take a good look at
Radwins too.  Mikrotiks are also cool.

Hasta la vista baby!

PS: Look at Meraki for last mile (or even last 10miles...)
