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!
Cheaper than Cisco? Doesn't take much! ;)Is this point to point or point to multipoint? One link, or multiple links? There's plenty of products to do campus WLAN's, and the Quickbridges are pretty good. Proxim also has the MP11 and MP11a line, which I believe is cheaper than the Quickbridges, but uses the same spectrum. Probably has slightly lower throughput, but don't know if that's as important.
The Quickbridge is an older product, and as someone said, the interface shows it. The newer products (AP600, AP2500, AP4000, and the MP11/MP11a's) all have a very similar web interface that's fairly intuitive. All of it will work (especially at <1mile LOS), it's a question of what other features you're expecting/looking for.
