  Trango Towers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Trango Towers are a group of dramatic granite spires located on the north side of the Baltoro Glacier, in Baltistan, a district of the Northern Areas of Pakistan.
All of the Trango Towers lie on a ridge, trending northwest-southeast, between the Trango Glacier on the west and the Dunge Glacier on the east.
Great Trango was first climbed in 1977 by Galen Rowell, John Roskelley, Kim Schmitz and Dennis Hennek by a route which started from the west side (Trango Glacier), and climbed a combination of ice ramps and gullies with rock faces, finishing on the upper South Face.

 broadband » Forums » Wireless Service Providers » Trango $149 CPE amazing discovery
The Trango device would be the same to talk to the 5830 AP which uses a different MAC.
Trango uses their own priority MAC, and that is where the value is. They are also a manufacurer, with state of the art manufacturing facilities, to make a radio designed for outdoor longevity (enviromental conditions), unlike comodity Linksys type product, that from my experience have lock ups about once a month.
Regarding filtering and potential to knock off other radios, Trango added a much better power amplifier to allow less distortion at higher powers (reduces adjacent channel interference as well), we added a transmit filter to reduce out of band interference to other users, improved filtering (there are 2 RF filters on the receive side).

 Trango Info
The east face of Great Trango Tower and Nameless Tower (AKA: "Trango Tower") are among the largest vertical faces of the world.
Great Trango Tower's main summit (6286 m) was first climbed in 1977 by Galen Rowell, John Roskelly, Kim Schmitz, and Dennis Hennek by the easiest route up the western side.
The summits of Great Trango and Nameless are over 20,000 feet, so Acute Mountain Sickness (altitude sickness) is definitely to be considered, although the pace of a wall route, where climbers are usually averaging less than 500 feet of altitude gain per day, acclimatization is given time.

When a new piece of climbing gear is introduced to market, you can usually glean fairly reliable beta from the local climbing shop guru, the climbers hanging out at the local crag, or by surfing the net.
I sought beta from all of these sources before touching the new Trango Cinch, but while everyone did had something to say, but no one I talked to had actually used the Cinch.
I heard every opinion from, "my buddy almost died because it didn't feed slack out fast enough", to "it saved my buddy's life when he took a fifty-foot whipper." I figured the proof was in the pudding, so I went out and actually bought a Cinch to review.

In 1992, Xaver Bongard and Middendorf trekked into to the Trango group and put up their 4,000-foot route after 18 continuous days on the huge face.
The objective danger was so great on one section of the climb, that Middendorf and Bongard actually climbed part of the route at night, when the ice above them was safely frozen.
