So the FCC is developing different “nutrition labels” for fixed and mobile (see WISPA list). Anybody have an idea what speed should be reported on the fixed wireless nutrition label for a service that achieves peak speeds of 30M but obviously can’t deliver that to 29 subs at 8pm on Sunday when they are all watching Netflix? Not being argumentative, genuinely unsure what the FCC would have us do in such a situation. If we were big ISPs, we could get some customers to put in the Measuring Broadband America boxes and then just use whatever number they come up with for typical speed for each speed tier we sell. But the MBA system doesn’t scale very well down to a WISP that may only have 1K or even 10K subs, you would need an unrealistic percentage of volunteers with the special boxes to get a representative sample.

It’s very encouraging to see. “…all running split mode (2 sectors 2x2 mimo) in 3.65Ghz band – 10Mhz channels. Busiest eNodeB has 29 UE’s, peak data rate of about 30Mbps.” – So this too is pleasantly surprising to read of 29 CPE on one base station running on a 10 MHz channel and have users experience peak 30 Mbps rates.

Patrick Leary, Telrad 727-501-3735 From: XXXXX Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2015 5:43 PM Subject: LTE Update Thought I would drop a quick update to the list on our deployment progress. As of today, we now have 110 UE’s on 8 eNodeB’s, all running split mode (2 sectors 2x2 mimo) in 3.65Ghz band – 10Mhz channels. Busiest eNodeB has 29 UE’s, peak data rate of about 30Mbps. The core has peaked at 100Mbps, runs over 80Mbps during peak hours. With the latest software loads, the network seems to be running a lot better, customer complaints have almost stopped. KP 120 degree antennas back to back with about 6’ of separation. Getting almost 360 degree coverage, installing UE’s up to 17miles LS with great CINR. Only have one site with 2 eNodeB’s, running KP 90 degrees on that tower, but in the 3.5Ghz band at the moment with 100Mhz separation on the channels. The ACS is Telrads, think we may be the first to get it, don’t know anything about it yet. Hopefully in the next few days we can get to it. If this continues, the end of year software release should be fairly stable compared to what we have experienced in the past. We also now have the ACS software loaded and hope to try that out over the next couple of weeks. …REPLY from Andreas Wiatowski, Silo Wireless: Awesome xxxxx. We also cut over on Monday from Wimax 2.3 (competitor name redacted) gear (Which was crap) and turned up our 11 - 2.3Ghz eNodeB’s . Currently serving 122 UE’s… letting things stabilize over the next week or so before we start installing more. We are running back to back using Alpha 65deg 4 port antennas. Some are in split mode, some as singles. Things are looking really positive. I must add, much better experience then our other deployment in LTE…for sure. We still have another 13 eNodes to install before our next shipments. Lots of work! REPLY from Steve Cole, Kingston Online (KOS): We just put 88 subscribers today on one eNB ... 10Mhz channel. It's a bit much, but it's working at the moment, upload speed is a bit harsh. The gear is quite impressive in LTE mode so far (we are working on balancing these customers out over another BS). Hope we have the same experience overall that you are having. ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************
