I have been living the exact same life for the past few months, going between I might as well close down shop to I need to hire more employees. I expect it is the same math that governs traffic jams due to accidents. Covid caused the car crash and the rubberneckers caused waves that extend around the globe. I keep hoping that supply chain issues are getting better, I think they are.
From: Forrest Christian (List Account) Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2022 12:08 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: [AFMUG] What is the supply chain situation from a WISP perspective? So the sales at packetflux have been very much more volatile this year. Like we'll go fairly long stretches with few sales, then a blast of orders will come through. On average we're doing pretty much as expected but on the short term it swings from "how are we ever going to make all of this stuff" to "I hope the orders pick back up since we don't have any more room to store stock". Like I said, we're doing fine on average, it's just that I'm curious what is driving this odd ordering pattern I have talked to a couple of customers and it seems like this might be a side effect of the way WISPs order stuff nowadays, and also shortages from other (radio) vendors. For instance, I would expect that if a WISP can't get radios for their towers they also aren't going to be ordering PoE injectors for the nonexistent radios. I also know that a lot of people have moved to "order several months at once" instead of "order as you go". So I'm curious what everyone is seeing or doing from the WISP viewpoint. -- - Forrest -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
