We have Wagner Biro CATV5 in all three houses. Oldest system is 20 years
now (catv3 back then). Is mostly reliable, but occationally we have had
mechanical defects or bad sensors causing a full stop. Mainly on our
automated floring system. The flybsrs just work.
Their Customer Service is excellent though and reach able 24/7.
