I have been looking at ICT.   The ICT600-48SBC Power Supply and the 
ICT200DF-12IRC distribution panel.   This with a Netonix would do everything.  
We have sites with Telrad so the distribution panel will allow them to be power 
cycled when necessary.

Anyone using ICT?  Bit pricy though, looking at $1,600 plus…

Need a solution where we can power cycle DC powered radios.

It's a little spendy but about how about 1 $670 option? Alpha Cordex PSU 24V

Remote monitoring, e-mailed alerts, swappable rectifier, DIN mount, etc.
Add a Netonix switch and you can power just about anything.​

(September 16 is the date of my test results).

There is a problem when installing two of these units side by side in a shelf.
There may be some interference between the jack pins on one board and the jack 
shields of the adjacent board.

This can be fixed easily and we have modified our production process to solve 
this problem, but we know a few of the REV F boards have shipped.

Please check your inventory/received orders and let us swap it immediately.
Good thing is this has the best return loss and NEXT of any product I have ever

(Of course you can also just skip every other rack slot too...)

Thank you Brian,

Rapid Systems will assist with manpower, money, equipment, etc..  The last time 
a hurricane was bearing down on Tampa I was a wreck until I spoke with you and 
Marlon Schaffer called me willing to drive down from Washington to FL to 
assist.  I had not slept for three days till I spoke with you guys.  It's 
unbearable looking at these situations.  Sometime just knowing people are 
willing to help gets you through those critical times of no or little hope.  
Luckily our storm took a right turn so we got very little of it in FL.

I have waited to post this message on behalf of WECAT to allow for the storm to 
pass, the flooding to hit the high marks, and the initial life and death rescue 
efforts to be completed. In situations such as this having people rush in to 
help in an area that cannot deal with extra people is not always welcome. We 
all feel for the situation but any help to be rendered needs to be carefully 
planned and coordinated so as to not overwhelm the people we would try to 
assist.

To that end if anyone has a WISP network in the storm effected area or knows of 
a WISP who is overwhelmed by the damage and needs assistance, please fill out 
this damage assessment form and get it back to me. WECAT will work all of our 
resources to assist where needed. If you are willing to volunteer with manpower

That’s just wrong Faisal to perpetuate this on this list.  There were a lot of

Was AT on the guys property without permission?
Safety of the guy in the bucket while someone is shooting the tires out.
Safety of the guy in the bucket while engine/controls get shot out
How the ground guys handled the situation
If you allow your crews to pack heat were they in the right to defend themselves

You get where I’m going but this list has no place for this political BS.  The

propagation.  (Orbital angular momentum)



If you have missed it, for the past 20 years there have been thousands of white 
papers written on a type of radio signal called OAM.  It looks a lot like 
circular polarization but the interesting thing is that you can use the same 
frequency for multiple streams that do not interfere.  In theory an infinite 
number of streams.



So, here is how I got it explained to myself so that I could understand it.

Using a special antenna, each wave front is launched like a smoke ring.  And 
the wave itself , or integer multiples of the wave are like little snippets of 
string formed into a ring.  That is the smoke ring.  As you traverse it around 
the ring the phase of the smoke changes.  So think of it as taking a n-lambda  
foot long chunk of the radio signal.  Chop it out like a long piece of baloney 
and join it to its self.  Then set up some kind of launcher that can throw 
these rings of signal at the other end, not like a frisbee but like a pie in 
the face.



Different numbers of wavelengths can be chopped out of the baloney and joined 
up as a ring.  If you have rings from one transmitter made out of two 
wavelengths and rings from a different transmitter of three wavelengths, they 
can all use the same frequencies and they will not interfere with each other.



The downside is you have to have some really complicated funky antennas at each 
end and they have to be aimed up perfectly.  The antenna center must be in the 
center of the smoke ring to receive it properly.  If it is off to the edge it 
will not have the clean separation from the other rings with different integer 
multiples.



Should work for very high frequencies over short distances.  Like 10 GHz on up. 
 They are doing it with lasers.  I have see the 10 GHz antennas.  They look 
like the internal parts of a rotary snowplow.

Does anyone know if these support -48VDC?  It doesn't look like - or + are 
referenced to ground, but before I blow something up or create a stupid issue 
down the road, I figured I'd ask.

Answer to your question Adam is no.

The “Super Cookie” is an interesting point to bring up because it’s something 
that was done on the device and they just so happen to be a service provider.  
Obviously this can be done by any of the folks that create OS’s and works way 
better with social media platforms.   Microsoft, Android, any Linux Distro, 
appliance and Apple could do the same thing as well as your local neighborhood 
hacker.

Sadly I agree that this has pointed many fingers at ISP’s that know better than 
heading down this road and have no dog in this fight.  The few that want this 
are hiding under the label as ISP.

Has anyone here been offered money for data on clients web browsing or other 
online activity?  Have you ever sought and found a company that would buy it?  
Is there a known case of an ISP doing this?  I'm betting all 3 are "no".

A couple of friends are going nuts on Facebook about the reversal of a law that 
would prohibit ISP's from selling or sharing various types of data.  The law 
was signed under the previous administration, but never took effect.  Until now 
I'd not even heard of it.

I singled out the most vehement one and told him to calm down.  I told him of 
all the types of data we'd be prohibited from sharing (Medical, financial, 
social security etc) we don't actually have most of it to begin with.  Of all 
the cited things we're allegedly "allowed" to share/sell, the only thing I 
conceivably could produce would be a web browsing history.  Ok, so if I wanted 
to sell that, who's buying?  I argue that you should be more worried about 
Google and Facebookwho really do have access to a crapload of your data.  
And what is so secret in your browser history anyway?

One person brought up a case of a Verizon Wireless "Super Cookie" (X-UIDH 
header inserted into HTTP requests).  A case where incidentally the FCC told 
them people needed an opt-out option and fined them $1.3mil for not having 
it...without any additional rules.  And the so-called super cookie only 
allowed web services to uniquely identify the device and key their own data 
around itVerizon wasn't "sharing" anything.

Ultimately I don't care whether there's such a rule or not.  It seems 
irrelevant.  It's like a rule telling me not to share my space shuttle with 
anyone.  I'm like, "Sure, no problem."

If there's a reason I should be excited/alarmed, someone please educate me.
