Anyone have experience with Proxim's tsunami quickbridge for wireless connectivity between buildings at line of site distances under 1 mile? It's cheaper than Cisco and looks good on paper. Looking for the good bad and ugly. Thanks in advance! -Eric
Not a direct answer but I can highly recommend Airaya http://www.airaya.com I have a number of their bridges operating including one of six miles.

We're using a Western Mutiplex Tsunami 100 5.3 -5.8 Ghz over a 4 mile shot and it has worked flawlessly except for a couple realy bad rain storms and 1 lightnening strike which whipped out a power supply that was easily replaced at radio shack.

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.

Just a quick note, I'm running the Proxim AP600 units (Tsunami baby brothers) with great results. 48-54Mb/s for .5 mile shot. Easily remote configurable, quick setup and much cheaper than the Tsunami if all your doing is a quick P2P. my $.02 Scott -- Scott V.

I believe that this is fixed in the latest release of code... bill

I have used Airya (found easily using google). Fast, cheap, has DES, an overall good experience. Cheers, Doug Douglas S.
