Re: Skypilot pricing
I tried calling to find out but as usual no answer.
I've got to say I've had a hard time deciding wether or not to use the Skypilot. Takes for ever to talk to anyone.
If they did raise the price then I will not use it. Here's some things to look at.
1) out dated atheros 5002 chipset(5004 is much better)
2) out dated power pc platform (wrap boards out perform them)
3) everyone else is lowering prices.
My 3 cents worth

Gateway $3500
Extender $1300
Connecter $400
Sure glad I did'nt order last week and get stuck with a system thats to expensive to extend.That same money will buy me a few 5.8 amps for my access points.

Once again...these units are intended for the municipal markets, and are priced accordingly.
Sounds like they are in the R&D mode and are just starting up.
Best to be avoided...!

Grass Valley, CA | Just spoke with them. Said engineering had underestimated production costs, particularly of the Extender.
I am so thankful I had not purchased anything. |
