I just installed a Quickbridge 60 recently. It's pretty nice. The
throughput is good over a .75 mile link. I was able to successfully
push ~20Mbps with an iperf test. Installation was easy relative to
some of the other equipment we have installed. The feed line is UTP
and the radio gets power over the UTP cable. The uplink interface is
100BaseT which is easy. My only complaint is that it is not remotely
manageable. You have to have direct console to make any config changes
which means taking the link down. We have another .11a system in
production made by RadioLan and it is plagued by the same design flaw.
Stupid... I'd like to compare it to the Cisco one. I bet it is more
manageable.
