Re: [WISPA] DHCP with a twist
Being five days late on this you have probably already solved it, but just in case The CB3 will request a DHCP address with it's MAC address (assuming it is set to DHCP). When the PC or router behind the CB3 requests a DHCP lease you will see the MAC for that device. The DHCP REQUEST message actually contains the MAC address it is requesting an IP for, it is not just assumed to be the MAC address that is seen making the request. The biggest issue I could think of with this setup is when the customers device changes (new router or NIC) they will have to call into the NOC and the DHCP assignment will have to be changed. Sam Tetherow Sandhills Wireless David E. Smith wrote: As part of the ongoing (does it ever stop?) efforts to make a Better Network, I've finally started using private subnets where appropriate. I'd love to be able to better automate some parts of my network, though, and I'm not sure how to do both of 'em at the same time. (Right now, substantially our whole network uses static IP assignments everywhere, and that's not really viable long-term.) My ideal scenario would be something like this: * The AP runs a DHCP server and talks to a RADIUS server (that's easy) * When a client associates, do a RADIUS lookup to see if they should be allowed to associate (that's easy too) * Give the CPE an IP address from one subnet, then give "whatever else is there" an IP from a different subnet (that's the tricky part) This is made even more complicated by the fact that many of our CPE are Senao CB3 units, which do MAC cloning and I don't think you can turn it off. (Basically, both the CPE and the customer's router, or whatever, show up in my tower as having the CPE's MAC.) If I weren't trying to conserve public IP space, this would be easy enough - just give the CPE one IP address and the customer's gear a second one. But there's really no reason for my radios to be visible to the public Internet, and it's wasteful of those sweet sweet IPs. I know there's a solution to this problem, because that's basically how most cable modem setups work. (Annoyingly, I can't get my company's wireless Internet at home, so I've got cable modem there.) The cable modem is a bit "smarter" than a CB3, though, thanks to DOCSIS. I'd like to do all this at the tower, instead of having to buy (or invent) new CPE if possible. Is this even possible?

Re: [WISPA] Re: Anyone using Exalt radios????
Brad, I'm aware of your Atlas experience. We've gotten Full 45mbps out of an Atlas numerous times. However, I admit, often that does require antenna size upgrade, and that needs to be factored into the end cost for comparison. Add a little noise to the equation and that puppy will auto-rate itself down to the 10Mbps neighborhood in a heartbeat. Thats why you turn off auto-rate, and turn on ARQ. I guess I just never get that excited about buying a radio that costs more than a decent car.

Re: [WISPA] Re: Anyone using Exalt radios????
Bob, They way you wrote it, you are correct its not to bad at all. My post was based on what I thought I read from someone else's post that stated that the 200mbps model (raw) pushed 100mbps of throughput (real), I was assuming based on waste of protocol overhead like Wifi. Trango has a very efficient MAC with little waste. If the the Exalt does real throughput of 100mbps in each direction, than that is a completely different animal and value proposition. And getting 50mbps Full Duplex in 32Mhz, also might be a speed leader in unlicensed. Bob, have you confirmed actual real throughput?

[WISPA] New Principle Member of WISPA - Travis Johnson and Microserv
We have seen quite a bit of interest in new membership in WISPA lately. I am proud to announce that Travis Johnson has added his name to the list of WISP operators who have joined WISPA. Travis has a very successful operation and I am sure his involvement in WISPA will be valuable to us and to him as well. Please join me in welcoming Travis Johnson and his WISP Microserv. Here is a little background on Travis and Microserv: Microserv started as a dial-up ISP in 1994. We began providing wireless service in 1997, DSL service in 2001 and fiber-optic service in 2003. We currently provide fixed wireless service covering 25,000 square miles of southeastern Idaho and have over 3,000 current wireless subscribers. Our entire backbone is wireless with links from 5 miles to 73 miles and using 5.3ghz to 38ghz. I designed and installed the entire infrastructure (over 60 operating repeater locations) and continue to service and support them while also running the day to day operations of a company with 25 employees. We are growing at a rate of 60+ wireless customers per month and continue to add new services and features for our existing customers. I am excited to be a member of WISPA and hope to help the organization grow and benefit the industry.

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion is Back!!!
Hey Brad, I've already looked at it briefly and will definately look into it a little further, pretty cool. However, based on deploying many different systems from wifi to CDMA, I've come to one conclusion. If it doesn't have GPS sync, I don't even want to touch it! :-) Tell me this, will the VL product be uprgadeable to co-exist with any future 802.16d/e product releases?

Re: [WISPA] Re: Anyone using Exalt radios????
Never heard of them before until now...just talked to a sales rep and got unnoficially ~$12k. It looks like software defined radio so they probably have the capability to develop firmware to do a lot of the things that Orthogon did. He said they don't currently have a spectrum management feature or a 'lite' product like orthogon but likely will be incorporating something into upcoming software releases. For error correction they use variable mod. and FEC, software polarization selection, a few other things. Either way a product to keep an eye on... Jon Langeler Michwave Tech. Gino A.

Re: [WISPA] Re: Anyone using Exalt radios????
The advertised throughput on a 200 Mhz radio is 100 Mb true throughput in each direction port to port. The radio throughput is based on a 64 Mhz channel. OK so lets compare to Trango Atlas or Alvarion Backhaul (which has similar metrics) with equivellent speed models. Taking that maybe only 1% of my market could pull off a 64Mhz channel. Exalt Specs... 200rating @ 64Mhz = 100 mbps then 100rating @ 32Mhz = 50 mbps... @ $16,000 list. This of course being best case based on noise level and acheivalbe modulation. Trango Specs 54rating @ 20Mhz = 45 mbps, for $3000. So, if I bonded two Atlas Links, I'd get equivelent performance to the high performance version at 30% less spectrum use, and 1/5 th the cost. Now of Course Trango, is Ethernet only, and does not have the wayside T1 support or Fiber/GPS features. And there is value to that for someone offering Voice services also. All I'm saying is that the street price sure better be a lot lower than the list price listed, as you suggeset it is. The second you are in the > $15,000 range, you might as well be doing licensed for the extra $1000 bucks or two to make it survivable.

They work as expected and stated. They have relatively straight forward GUI interfaces, you can move the center of the channel to any 1 Mhz. division, it works on 5.3, you can get a straight indoor only unit or an outdoor unit with integral antenna or N connectors, they have 2 year warranty. OOB replacement guarantee, the inegral antenna has electronic polarity control, it can syc all units on a msite so you can use one channel, the gps option is very reasonable and you don't need a central controller or cabling between radios. User defined latency and channel bandwidth as well as free upgrade to 5.4 when it becomes available. The advertised throughput on a 200 Mhz radio is 100 Mb true throughput in each direction port to port. The radio throughput is based on a 64 Mhz channel. Now lets address the Motorola Orthogon for a minute. It has no GPS syncing. It has no integral fiber interface. The fiber "kit" is an option that allows for cable runs in excess of POE lengths but you still need external power. I can put a media converter and external power on a Exalt radio also. As far as the bandwidth is concerned the Orthogon still uses 60 MHz to give full bandwidth. It just uses 30 on vertical and 30 on horizontal. On a positive note for Exalt the C/I is much better on the Exalt radio which ultimately guarantees better distance in noisy environments. The pricin on the Connectronics site is MSRP.

Sorry, I have not responded sooner guy, but I kept missing opportunities to connect to the Internet. The reason I did not post details on the List, is that the pricing and program is a deal designed and offered ONLY to WISPs, and I was not sure what part of it was suppsoed to be confidential or Open to disclose. The program is for the existing VL product line, the one you always wanted to buy, but thought you could never afford. There are volume commits involved, but they are VERY minimal. The Plan is not just about pricing, it also includes additonal support for WISPs via online content and such. When you learn about it, you will see why I was so excited. This program is something that never could have happened without someone like Patrick Leary behind it, who fully understands the needs of WISPs, and went to bat for us. What I liked about the program is that it came from the principle of how can they help us, help ourselves as a group, and ultimately reach higher volume of product deployment (For mutual benefit). Understand that this is Best of Breed product, at the top of the pyramid, so sod course set realistic expectations that their is no justification for the program to compete against $99 CB3 boxes. But it now allows a WISP to make decisions based on whether the features and design of the product is the best product for the job, rather than having to make selection based on price. It allows a WISP to step up their operations a couple notches, and puts FCC certified / carrier class gear within their reach. Disclaimer: The fact that I am impressed by the Alvarion program, and without a doubt will be participating in this program personally, does not take away the value that other manufacturer's products may also deliver.

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion is Back!!!
Well, CTI has similar programs for Motorola product that they call ZERO financing, allowing lower volume pricing, by splitting ship dates for committed volume. But the excitement of the Alvarion program, is not just the price, but that it includes ALVARION GEAR!

Are you talking RF type QOS or the QOS I am used to (I guess I'd call that per packet QOS) that has to do with throttling bandwidth, shaping and such? FYI I'll state the obvious. I don't know much about this. Also currently there is only one company that has released 5.8 product using 802.16a technology and is expected to be interoperable should other vendors roll out product utilizing a 10mhz channel width.

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion is Back!!!
YEP. That was a key point not mentioned in the Commnet brief. The lower cost APs, will allow a WISP to expand their network footprint quicker, without waiting on a long sector ROI first. The idea is not to shaft Alvarion out of their end game revenue that they deserve, as a WISPs that uses thateir gear for a fully populated network, can well justifiy its cost. And more likely they will get there, if they have quality gear to help them on their way. This program is a program to help a WISP grow, and manage their costs propoirtional to their received revenue, not their unreached potential. Its that mentality that I liked in the program.

Re: [WISPA] Trango at ISPCON
No not the case. The fact that a peice of equipment can instantly be flashed with a Compliant firmware, enables a WISP not to be held hostage by the specific Manufacturer, and can change anyday to the compliant WiMax standard, if they find it to be more advantageous to them. In other words physical installation labor or equipment change would not be necessary, so one could convert easilly. There are many reasons not to use compliant WiMax. And there are many benefits to WiMax hardware, even when propriatary firmware is used. Most WISPs state that they want lower price that high volume gives, and they state they want higher features to make them more competitive. But interoperabilty, has little value to most WISPs, as most WISPs want to standardize on product anyway. Not waiting for complaince, adds many benefits. Quicker availabilty bypassing lengthly certification processes. Advanced features, that would take ages for the committe to make standard. Taking advantage of patented or propritary intellectual property that is more advantageous that would never be given to the public domain or standards committee. Fastest Time to market is one of the biggest benefits for a WISP. I predict Trango's WIMax will beat most other vendors to the table in 5.8Ghz in the US. The advantage of using WiMax hardware, is taking advantage of economy of scale, to have better price and better support behind the solution. As long as the hardware is compliant and flashable, what firmware you put on is irrelevant. Its no different than buying a WRAP board and having the choice of whether you put Mikrotik or Star-OS on it, or even your own firmware. I'm not putting my reputation on the line to specifically endorse what product option will be the preferred product by Summer 2007, but I will say that interoperabilty is the least of my desires from a manufacturers. What I want is the gear that solves my problems and allows me to be the most competitive at the lowest cost and the faster to market time frame. Thats one of the reasons we are also excited about the AlvarionComnet program, it gives us abilty to improve our offering today, with a mature tested product. The WiMax interoperabilty is only important for those going after mobility. We are a pure FIXED location play. I personally believe that staying away from mobility offerings, makes us less of a threat to the Telcos and Cell phone companies, and will likely have less competitive pressures from them, because of it, and by building for Fixed (better design) we are more likely to survive their interference. Its also important to understand, why a new Trango product might want to be considered. People who bought Trango in the first place didn;t do it for interoperabilty, but the extra value Trango intellectual propery provided over WIFI an interoperable solution. Just like Trango Fox was like WIFI on Steroids, Trango WiMax will be like WiMax on Steroids. Disclaimer: My post is speculation, as final product features/options have not been released.

So you are saying we won't have a bunch of products to choose from that work together like with WiFi?

Also currently there is only one company that has released 5.8 product using 802.16a technology and is expected to be interoperable should other vendors roll out product utilizing a 10mhz channel width.

Trango's approach is to take WiMax chipset, with the option to run a standard WiMax MAC, but shipped default with Trango's modified Firmware to fit nicely in line with existing Trango gear firmware features and tools. This would also have the side effect of giving WiMax features at Lower prices than WIMax competitors, and more unique differenciators than competitors by not being limited to standards. I thought one main advantage of WiMax was the standards. By not following standards the customers ARE limited. Everyone knows that every install is different. I thought with WiMax we might actually get to pick the right gear for each job. Can't do that without standards. They only want to keep you locked in. I hate being locked into one thing. You can never use better gear when it comes out because you are locked into old crap. My perception, is that the 10mbps solution would continue as the low cost options, but the WIMax line would be the high end product delivering higher capacity / Higher feature gear, that would be priced somewhere between 5830 and Fox lines. My understanding is that Live versions were displayed at Wimax World. Its not appropriate to discuss exact features yet, for obvious competitive reasons of a not yet released product. It could be a real exciting product, and something worth keeping an eye on as it develops. Unfortuneately though, this is not an option for us today, as the product has not yet been released, and probably won't for about 6 month.

RE: [WISPA] Alvarion is Back!!!
Actually, the main intent of the "AU-S" is to permit profitable VL deployment even in the smallest of towns where the expectations are that'd you not be able to sign more than a handful of subscribers per AU. For sure, some WISPs will choose to use the AU-S as a method of incrementalizing their infrastructure, which is fine too. We want WISPs to pay for what they need, when they need it.

It was also exciting to learn more about their next generation WIMax product. The advantage of that platform, is its early enough in the development process that there is still time for Trango to add features that WISPs requested, to make it a better solution. A lot of neet ideas were pitched, hopefully Trango will implement some of them, to compliment their offering. Trango's approach is to take WiMax chipset, with the option to run a standard WiMax MAC, but shipped default with Trango's modified Firmware to fit nicely in line with existing Trango gear firmware features and tools. This would also have the side effect of giving WiMax features at Lower prices than WIMax competitors, and more unique differenciators than competitors by not being limited to standards. My perception, is that the 10mbps solution would continue as the low cost options, but the WIMax line would be the high end product delivering higher capacity / Higher feature gear, that would be priced somewhere between 5830 and Fox lines. My understanding is that Live versions were displayed at Wimax World. Its not appropriate to discuss exact features yet, for obvious competitive reasons of a not yet released product. It could be a real exciting product, and something worth keeping an eye on as it develops. Unfortuneately though, this is not an option for us today, as the product has not yet been released, and probably won't for about 6 month.

Re: [WISPA] Anyone using Exalt radios????
A few things to consider The Exalt does the whole 5 Ghz. band, including 5.3 and 5.4 It also allows you to set the center channel on any 1 Mhz. division. It has GPS syncing so you only need to use one channel for a handful of radios at the same site. (Try doing that with Orthogon) It is capable of elctronically switching polarities like the Trango radios do. (yeah,yeah...something like the Orthogon). And finally...they are not owned by MOTOROLA! :-) FYI...I have installed approx. 11 Orthogon Spectra links. I have had power supply failures 5 times. I just waited 12 days for a replacement power supply after ordering it from the distributor. The last link we ordered was missing part of the mounting bracket. One of the mounting brackets did not have one of the holes tapped. Not fun when you are onsite for an install. I still like Orthogon. I just like Exalt better. -B- I Gino A.
