Every time I have had a chip become unavailable they always give me a last time
buy opportunity. So you shift into high gear and design it out. Surprised
Remec would shutter for that cause.
I did have one chip become unavailable when they moved the fab and broke the
mask. So I designed a tiny PCB that had three chips on it that could drop in
place of the other chip. Later I designed out the all in one chip due to cost
savings when it once again became available.

But the ODU is not the modem. Also, that sounds like the ODU used on
Apex/Giga/Lynx, not the new StrataPro.
I kind of assumed when Daniel said “modem” he meant a modem chip, SoC or
chipset, not a whole OEM unit.

Yes. The Remec ODU went away and that killed products from a number of
manufacturers. It's why the PTP800 went away and the PTP820 came to be.

Was the modem manufacturer REMEC? They're the biggest name in that market
AFAIK, but I would also assume that their product discontinuation times are
measured in years and quite planned in advance.

It wasn't vaporware, it was a finished product. Just as they put it into
production the modem manufacturer stopped making the modem the radio was
designed around.

Looks like that was the 24 GHz “small cell backhaul” product, which is
the one they had at their booth. That may have actually existed or even
shipped to customers, I don’t know.

Last I heard from Ray Sewell was the following message in June 2016.
"Hope you are doing well. I wanted to let you know that we are offering
a special introductory offer for the StrataPRO Si model of $3600 with free 1
Gbps FDX software key. Shipping in 2 weeks. "

If you’re talking the 6/11/18/23 GHz StrataPro, I think that may have
been vaporware/brochureware. Did anyone ever see an actual working piece of
hardware? I think the plan may have been to base it on the same Broadcom
chipset we are now seeing in radios from vendors like Aviat. I remember
talking to John at a WISPAmerica show maybe 2015 about that product and not
getting any specifics about availability dates.

Who are the principals now? Are they prior employees?
If I remember right John was over sales. Also If I recollect some
employees went to work for CTI, and there was a squirmish over that with prior
mgmt.
The StrataPro line that was released right before they closed up shop I
don't see it mentioned anywhere, just the Apex and Orion line. Was this just a
proprietary information buy on the product.or did they just assume the
bussiness operations?

I guess it’s good to see Ray back, how many times has he been laid off
and rehired now by Trango? I wonder where he goes in the interim? You’d think
a more stable microwave company would hire him.
Any guess if “Z” is still in the picture? If they sold off the assets,
probably not?

Jim has too much Trango deployed in his network to let it disappear. I
don't see it going away anytime soon.
New products though... not sure what their R&D capabilities are now.

Hello Adam,
Ray Sewell here. I wanted to let you know that Trango Systems
sold off its assets to a new company. The new company is Trango Networks, LLC.
Trango Networks will continue manufacturing the Orion/Lynx series of licensed
microwave radios and providing support for most of the other products. We are
also actively developing new products.
We are going to manufacture the Orion series. We’ll start with
the Apex Orion which is our all outdoor system that runs on -48 Vdc via POE or
Direct DC power. It supports 1 copper and 1 fiber Ethernet port. It is also
capable of XPIC (Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation), 8 MB
programmable packet buffer, Multilayer header compression to increase capacity,
ultra-low latency & jitter in all ACM modes, Very high power and 500 Mbps FDX
throughput on a 56 MHz channel. Up to 761 Mbps FDX Layer 2 using Header
Compression. The split design Giga Orion will be shipping by May.
Some of the qualities that make us stand out from the competition.
1) High Quality US designed and manufactured products
2) Factory Direct - no middleman.
3) Ultra-Fast lead times for products. Much is in stock or less
than 2-week lead time for common bands/antenna sizes.
4) Pre-sales support- Free Path analysis, frequency availability
analysis.
5) One stop shop for accessories, licensing, coordination.
6) Link Configuration based on customer inputs at ship time with
box labeling
7) Online support ticketing, live person tech support and
engineer escalation for tough problems.
8) Fast RMA turn times (< 2weeks).
9) Free software upgrades and technical data via Trango Support
