If you guys haven’t, you should really look at http://Sonar.Software

That piece of software has been an amazing addition to our WISP here in Colorado. Simon and his team have made extreme strides in provisioning and IPAM management and continue to make bizops more and more turnkey.

The real magic though is the whole thing is VERY API focused. The entire platform can be automated and made more powerful with a little dev time.

We do a ton of 60Ghz (ignitenet), 24Ghz, 11Ghz and 5Ghz (ubnt & mimosa) links to cover about 200 Sq miles. We’ve been mostly following a modified webpass model with redundant PTP and multiple interlinking. A few PTMP hub/spoke exist too where needed (SFH).

We’ve been at this for a few years and have a dedicated lab and geo region that we test all kinds of new ideas and equipment both wireless and new fiber tech (10g GPON, bonded RF).
