I am curious what people are using as a chassis or enclosure for these
boards.
Also, I know how important price is to most of us especially when it
comes to CPE equipment so I am going to put in a plug for my vendor of
KarlNet products:
Winncom Technologies sells the software licenses for about 20% cheaper
than Charles and the new boards are $30-$40 cheaper than Charles quoted
here on the list. I had many people ask me who my vendor was last time
I mentioned the price of the software licenses. Charles does have
significantly more knowledge of the products and is able to offer better
support but if price is your bottom-line, then check out Winncom -
http://www.winncom.com
Talk to Polina Sorg, she is an excellent saleswoman.
BTW, I do not receive anything by recommending Winncom. I just know how
important price is to us when looking for CPE equipment (infrastructure
equipment too, I guess).
