RE: 3PMD Proposal is not enough
Gair,
Half of our customers that have installed the next generation 50 micron to
date have been in the US.
Next generation 50 micron supports all popular legacy applications for
distances of 300m to 2KM depending on the application, and thus their is no
penalty for using 50 micron for building applications.
