This is a lot of why I have a lot of respect for the wireless guys I know or have met that clearly know their wireless, even if some of them are wingnuts outside of the wireless domain. Wireless is Hard(tm), and doesn't really overlap a lot with other ISP knowledge sets. -Blake On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 1:59 PM, Brett Glass <nanog@brettglass.com> wrote:

If you are picky enough to prefer other radios that cost more on Mbps/$, that's your call,
We need reliability. That particular radio wouldn't cut it. As I've mentioned, users can get away with much less bandwidth if the quality is high, so going for a less reliable radio with a high nominal speed does not actually save money.
Also, that 5 GHz radio is a "spectrum spammer" and hence is a bad neighbor.
After 25 years of doing wireless, one learns what really works and what is a false economy. Believe me, we've learned some hard and expensive lessons.
