[BC] IP STL

[Bill Spry]

Thanks to everyone for their input on our STL need.  It seems like a very 
expensive venture to mount 8 ft. dishes on each tower in order to make it 28 
miles.  Not to mention the cost of the equipment (even though I am a 
distributor for Nicom).

As an alternative, we are looking at IP equipment.  I checked out the Comrex 
Access.  Does anyone have experience with them.  It's hard to believe that 
you can achieve full quality at such a low bitrate.  But because the bitrate 
is so low, I doubt there would be any 'hic-cuping' on the audio due to 
bandwidth problems.  Plus the delay is only 1/4 of a second.  Nice.

I would love to hear more from anyone that has used or experimented with the 
Comrex Access or any other IP STL hardware.


Thanks again,

William J. Spry
