Subject: [AFMUG] Licensed spectrum for utility companies



can anyone point me in the direction of what licensed spectrum is available and 
how to obtain the spectrum for electrical and water utility companies that want 
to do advanced metering.
our local co-op is about to deploy a 900Mhz system and they stated that they 
couldn't get any licensed spectrum.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciate!
Thanks,
Sean

I found out our power company is going to be rolling out smart meters in a big 
way in about 8 months.

 They are using Wimax as the backhaul to their collectors, then probably 900mhz 
from the collector to the meters.  They guy I talked to said they're still in 
product selection, but in other areas they went with the 900mhz mesh.

 How many of you were clobbered by these systems, and how many of you didn't 
notice the difference?

the only time I have ever seen this stuff default is when water gets in the

Other then that... indirect lightening hits used to cause a lot of problems 
with UBNT. almost all our cable is now shielded with drain wire and the problem 
has mostly gone away.

My problem with M series is they seem to have a tendency to revert to default

 I've also seen more than one once where after a thunderstorm the UBNT item at 
the tower is dead, but everything else is still up.  Someone could argue that's 
just dumb luck, but I don't think so.

 It's always been a decent option for cheap point to point, like when you need 
to extend a network between two buildings, or you have Line of Sight to your 
tower from a barn or detached garage.

 I also understand the Micro POP use case.  

 That said, my experience with M series was so unimpressive that I haven't 
bothered looking at their AC products very closely.  Maybe I will.

If you expect LTE 3ghz to be the silver NLOS bullet it is not.
 
Putting speeds aside for the moment. Lets just talk signal. Same tower, same 
height Telrad 3ghz LTE with the Alpha dual-slant sector within 1db signal as 
2.4 NBM2 on a UBNT 10db omni. 
 
LTE does not change physics. The sales guys want you to believe that. It ain't 
so.
 
So, if you can attain a -75 on a 2.4 omni on a tower it won't work worth 
anything. That same signal on LTE will rock.
 
If you think it was have equal penetration to 900mhz and be a replacement for 
your old FSK system, you are sorely mistaken.
 
Near line of site? Yes.
 
We had a very specific application that Patrick said without question would 
work. When it didn't it was a bad antenna, then it was bad jumpers, then it was 
a bad compact, finally they flew someone in who argued with it for a day and at 
the end of the day? You can't argue with physics.
 
The whole "watch it work at -110" is garbage too. They skewed the numbers by 
30db. Yes, it will work at -80, will it work well? YMMV.
 
In the end it was too expensive for the limited benefits we observed. They 
swear I'm the only one in the world it didn't work for in the same breath they 
swore it would work without any doubt.

The basic thought process is if you pay a technician by the job, they are 
naturally going to work faster, this could have benefits but also negatives.  
More installs done in a day may equate to more income for your company, but the 
adverse is your quality of install may be negatively affected by the expedited 
work of the technician.  So if someone is saying their installer does 5 
installs in a day, is this an installer that’s paid by the job, doesn’t do 
grounding, cuts corners, and only has to zip tie a radio to an elbow, or is 
this a guy that’s paid hourly, does site testing, explains the install to the 
customer, installs the radio on a pipe, on a tower, using hose clamps and heavy 
duty brackets, then installs grounding, hooks up the customer’s router and 
XBox, etc.  These two types of internet installs can be drastically different, 
and essentially makes up two different business models in our industry.

True words. I don't think I have enough fingers and toes to count how many have

Intentional interference is much different than a new competitor. It's easy to 
get started in this
business, but it's much more difficult to stay in this business.

My advice would be to focus on your business and not what others do. Every 
minute you worry and fret about
 a competitor is time you aren't growing your own business.

 If they are starting off with a connection that could be shut off at some 
point, just be ready to take on their
 customers.

For a resellable connection (fiber) I pay $4.50 per meg. For a Comcast cable 
modem the cost is around $1 per meg. It cuts costs by $3.50 per meg to the 
customer. It isn't allowed by Comcast and gives competitor an unfair advantage.

Whether we like it or not, it’s a good idea to know who the bad apples are.  I 
haven’t dealt with this guy in years but Mr. Malone is suffering greatly, 
especially financially.  He has gone through the legal process but there are 
always ways around it as he has learned.  There are those that do not have a 
moral or ethical foundation in their business dealings and they hurt those of 
us who try to run their company by those principles.  Those people need to be 
eliminated through legal means and intense pressure.  Sometimes a lesson needs 
to be taught the hard way.   I have no dog in this fight, I do however, think 
our industry takes a black eye with players like this.  For example, how many 
of us have had our signs stolen from competitors and then replaced in the exact 
same spot?  That’s kids play compared to this dude.  
 
Personally, I would go after this guy multiple ways simultaneously.  Go after 
his clients with literally free service if you have to.  Talk to the States 
Attorney General, file with the BBB, file complaints with D, knock on the 
door of every house with one of his antennas and steal the customer legally, 
get every ex-customer he has to hit them on Yelp (make sure you can prove he is 
doing it, not hard BTW, just pull the logs, check the MAC of the AP sending the 
disconnect, etc… and probably back it up with data from an analyzer), find the 
location of the transmitted signal and contact the FBI, contact Angies List, 
post his investors names everywhere and what kind of a dirtbag company they 
invested in, have your attorney notify them they could be in violation of 
fiduciary responsibility and can personally be sued if the Managing Member is 
found to be violating the law and they knew it (which they will when you notify 
them), hire his employees away and if you do, get whatever information you can 
assuming they aren’t under an NDA, find out who set up the transmitter since I 
know he didn’t, send them a cease and desist letter as well as hitting them 
with a restraining order, threaten with restraint of trade, etc…  Attack the 
pillars of the company, the employees (which I’d also go after individually 
either in a criminal or civil manner) and the investors, not the company itself 
since he would be who you are dealing with and and could filter what you do.  
As any lawyer will tell you, you don’t have to win a lawsuit, you just have to 
be able to financially battle longer. 
 
These are just a few thoughts off the top of my head, if you need more, let me 
know.

I have a hypothetical I would appreciate some opinions on, knowing no one is a 
lawyer;

If ISP A acquires ISP B's fixed microwave point to point stations which have 
operating licenses in an asset acquisition, and ISP B refuses to transfer said 
licenses to ISP A, which CFR or ruling governs ISP A's solution?  Since ISP A 
is now the operator of the control point they would be illegally operating the 
point to point stations without assuming them from ISP B, am I correct?

Any rulings, court cases, opinions would be super. Thanks in advance.

hours later, then was down for 3 ½ days.
 
My first e-mail with Chuck about the new list was 7:32pm on July 7th.

Subject: [Motorola] I QUIT - This should be on the Trango List
Do you all want all the lists to be free?

 If so, I'll close up [ PART-15.ORG ]( http://PART-15.ORG ) and you all can do 
whatever you want.

 I'm sick of all this B.S. If you don't want to support [ PART-15.ORG ]( 
http://PART-15.ORG ) then
 don't and GO AWAY. Start your own damn lists somewhere else because
[ PART-15.ORG ]( http://PART-15.ORG ) will just fade away which appears to be 
what you guys want and I
 have no problem with that idea.

 And you know what Chuck, if people like Charles Wu would ever pay his
 bills/debts that he owes [ PART-15.ORG ]( http://PART-15.ORG ) maybe he could 
get back on the lists.
 As far as the others go, the hell with them as far as I'm concerned. They
 don't want to support [ PART-15.ORG ]( http://PART-15.ORG ) so why the hell 
should I let them in for
 free? B.S. I'm fed up folks.

 Michael

I believe so as well. This is a P9 so should certainly upgrade. Last I checked 
from a distributor it is cost-prohibitive to do so. Hoping someone from Cambium 
hits me up with a courtesy/charity code.

Didn’t like the audio of the shotgun mic I got last week.  Picks up too much 
ambient noise.
 
So, looking at wireless mics this morning.  Too many choices.  Lots of folks 
selling high end stuff on ebay that is illegal to use.  Huge price range, all 
the way from $10 to $1000 systems.
 
I think I want UHF.  But then when I look at those there are performance 
reviews on amazon all over the map too.  I think I want a small receiver that 
can fit on a camera shoe.
 
I know I want a clip on mic.  I know I need to stay under 600 MHz, not totally 
sure you are legal in the 500 MHz ranger unless you get a part 74 license

We got a sweet location the other day on a ridge, its a few of these bins, it will be about 100' up on a ridge. Its windy as shit up there. I would have pics of the actual on but both my phones froze up when I tried taking the pics. Its a dormant silo so we are free to do what we want. Initially all we are doing is a micropop but the path from this bad boy gets us a midpoint for a redundancy we have needed for a long time. So eventually there will be a few EPMP APs up there and 2 backhauls (maybe 3) all with Radiowaves 2' HP parabolics with the skirts.
The rail is good heavy guage steel it just doesnt have much lateral stability. We can back the nuts off the bolts coming through the top but we are limited to what we can reach through the hatch, apparently the bolts will fall out so we can do stabilizer bars, just short. Since its a dormant silo, we can come through the work area across the diameter of the railing, but i see a moron tower monkey tripping and falling off of it.
Anybody dealt with these and have ideas aside from magnetics?

It’s too unique of a job to expect to hire a ‘Wireless Internet Installer’ 
right out the gates, they don’t exist in the wild, you have to create them.  We 
primarily look for people that are willing to learn, out going, personable, NOT 
AFRAID OF HEIGHTS (seems simple, but we’ve even had people say they aren’t, 
hire them, turns out, they are), and we usually try to look for some basic 
computer knowledge, that way we know they at least will know some of what we 
are talking about when we start the training process.  We have had pretty good 
luck with military folks, and some ok luck with satellite installers.  Either 
way, you’re going to be spending a good amount of time in training the employee 
to meet your company’s standards.

So far,
 
The satellite installer is the only option that I've found that could work on a 
contract basis so far. He has his own company, storefront, truck, tools, etc. 
He does contract work for a variety of satellite TV and Internet services, as 
well as antenna installations. Those rates are fairly high, though.
 
Everyone else I'm considering would have to be an employee. I haven't found 
anyone willing to do the work for a reasonable price, though.

Yes, once you activate the revised UNII rules, it it will lower the EIRP in 
UNII-3, however just upgrading the firmware won't change anything (until you 
enter the key) and you can use the key again to get the higher Tx Power back 
(and disable UNII-1/2)... of course if you lose the link when the power drops, 
that won't help you... if a link is questionable, I would just try lowering the 
tx power using test mode to see what happens before you do anything.

Hi Guys,
There are actually two sets of "DFS" unlocks.  The older unlock is from a few 
years ago to unlock DFS on RM5/NanoBridge/NanoStation.  Those keys will not 
unlock PowerBeam/NanoBeam or AC products.  
NanoBeam/PowerBeamM units will require 5.6.3 + unlock codes generated in the 
last few months (June 2015).
AC products can be unlocked as well, but this is currently only available on 
7.2/8.0 beta firmware.  R5AC-PTP and PTMP models are limited to bands above 
5470MHz due to airPrism filtering.  The R5-AC-PRISM will have full U-NII band 
support.
If you need new codes/stickers for PowerBeamM/NanoBeamM or AC products, you can 
request them here:

Hi Guys,
There are actually two sets of "DFS" unlocks.  The older unlock is from a few 
years ago to unlock DFS on RM5/NanoBridge/NanoStation.  Those keys will not 
unlock PowerBeam/NanoBeam or AC products.  
NanoBeam/PowerBeamM units will require 5.6.3 + unlock codes generated in the 
last few months (June 2015).
AC products can be unlocked as well, but this is currently only available on 
7.2/8.0 beta firmware.  R5AC-PTP and PTMP models are limited to bands above 
5470MHz due to airPrism filtering.  The R5-AC-PRISM will have full U-NII band 
support.
If you need new codes/stickers for PowerBeamM/NanoBeamM or AC products, you can 
request them here:
[ https://www.ubnt.com/fcclabelrequest/ ]( 
https://www.ubnt.com/fcclabelrequest/ )
Please feel free to email me directly if you have any questions.

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik 9HPn Performance? Improvement over PMP100?

2015-12-09 Thread John Woodfield

Way to make a bunch of incorrect assumptions without every having used the 
product in the application described or at all.
 
Loss of GPS sync is the biggest gripe. They do perform better than PMP100 
unless you need to run multiple sectors in which case forget it. They do work 
far better than UBNT 900mhz gear. I have one pop with about 25 users. Overall 
TX is roughly 15mbps on 10mhz channel. It isn't great but its cheap and dirty 
and 15mbps is much better than 4mbps.
 
That said, we are not deploying any new pops or upgrading old until 450i gear 
is released.

I believe it is downconverted 2.4ghz, like the UBNT 900mhz stuff... but I guess 
it could potentially be downconverted 5ghz too - definitely 802.11N based 
though. I assume it uses the same channel widths as any other 11n Mikrotik 
radio, so I would assume probably 5mhz, 10mhz and 20mhz.


I haven't ever used these things, but I can't see how it could be worth the 
effort of replacing PMP100, My experience with UBNT 900mhz was always worse 
overall than PMP100 (with the exception of PTP links), and I really can't see 
how these could be that much better... especially considering they're only 1x1 
and UBNT 900mhz gear is 2x2. The most obvious issue being that you're going to 
lose the ability to sync (which may not matter all that much in some 
networks)... I suppose you could turn off sync on all the Canopy APs and see 
how ugly things get.

Looked twice at this. How does your network know the route to a network 
connected to one of your routers if he does not redistribute this information 
into ospf?

There are about 0 times when you should distribute connected, just a FYI.  99% 
of the time it causes issues with unintended and/or unneeded distribution of

Are you redistributing Connected? If the /30 is not on the networks tab, then 
you will need to redistribute connected routes. If you add static routes 
pointing to places you will want to redistribute static routes as well.

Eth2 is on a /30 that is going to a fortigate, it works fine

 

the routes propagate as they should

 

I initially tried to add another /30 to Eth2 for a second fortigate, but it 
wouldnt let me add the netwok

so I put that /30 on eth3 it comes up in a state designated router

According to the math I should get a decent shot at 24 miles, but according to 
that same math the NBM5 should have higher signal in every single link I've 
done.

My question here is what is the longest link you've done with the NBM5 25 and 
what is the actual gain on these units since they don't seem to actually gain 
25 as they're suppose to.

I'm not opposed to using a Rocket and larger dish, just trying to see what the 
actual limits to the device are and what the actual gain is for math.

Currently I've got the 24 mile shot with a 29 and 26dBi grids, decent, but 
still using 2008 MT hardware. I need more speed for growth.

 For the record I did put Or best offer... I thought the radio was $129
 and then the dish was an additional $69 retail. I have no idea as we don't
 buy these radios.
 Anyway, if you want it make me an offer, it's just a little extra spending
 money to me, it was free so it's 100% profit no matter what I get out of it

I think probably yes, but as not routable beyond your network.  It’s space that 
should never exist in customer networks or the public Internet.  And since it’s 
not publicly routable, I can use it, you can use it, Comcast and Verizon can 
use it over and over.
 
So instead of picking some obscure range in RFC1918 space like 10.199.x.x to 
hand out to your customers and hoping none of them use those addresses 
internally, you could use the CGN space.
 
I’m sure there is additional stuff that I don’t understand that makes it

Maybe all governments speak from both sides of their mouth.  In this case I 
think there's a good reason for it, they say Landlords, you cannot prohibit 
tenants from having an antenna.  They're not saying, Landlords, you must let 
John and Adam drill holes in your house, because they straight up can't make a 
mandate like that.

 If you *can* force the landlord to accept your antenna being on their building 
against their will, would you really want to?  You gain $30-50/month, but also 
make a permanent enemy.  IMO, better to just defuse the anger as best you can 
and fix the damage.


So like everything else they are talking out both sides of their mouth. The 
problem becomes, how much aggravation does the landlord want to go through as 
the burden of proof undisputedly lies with them.

[ http://www.fcc.gov/guides/over-air-reception-devices-rule#QA ]( 
http://www.fcc.gov/guides/over-air-reception-devices-rule#QA )

 Highlighting added by me


Q:  If I live in a condominium or an apartment building, does this rule apply 
to me? 
A:  The rule applies to antenna users who live in a multiple dwelling unit 
building, such as a condominium or apartment building, if the antenna user has 
an exclusive use area in which to install the antenna.  Exclusive use means 
an area of the property that only you, and persons you permit, may enter and 
use to the exclusion of other residents.  For example, your condominium or 
apartment may include a balcony, terrace, deck or patio that only you can use, 
and the rule applies to these areas.  The rule does not apply to common areas, 
such as the roof, the hallways, the walkways or the exterior walls of a 
condominium or apartment building.  Restrictions on antennas installed in these 
common areas are not covered by the Commission's rule.  For example, the rule 
would not apply to restrictions that prevent drilling through the exterior wall 
of a condominium or rental unit and thus restrictions may prohibit installation 
that requires such drilling.


Don't think so. The rules are clear that permitted restrictions have to be 
reasonable and if there is a conflict the burden of proof is on the 
landlord.
 
Further, restrictions cannot violate the impairment clause in section 2.2 i.e. 
may not unreasonable delay or increase costs, or preclude reception or 
transmission of an acceptable quality signal.

OTARD says the landlord can't tell you not to put an antenna on the house.  The 
landlord absolutely *can* tell you not to put holes in his property.  The FCC 
website on the topic spells this out pretty clearly.

 I.E.: OTARD protects you if you can manage to install without any 
penetrations.  This is why you'll see apartment complexes with dishes clamped 
on the deck railings and they make flat coax to go in through a window.  

OTARD rules cover it.
It's s town home so you can mount anywhere on their portion of the building 
including the roof.
If he has an issue with the cable and holes he needs to talk to the renter.
You could also let him know that quality internet service makes his property 
more rentable.

 I get the OTARD argument, but I can guarantee if I was renting a townhouse

 drill holes, not only would the antenna be coming down but they'd either be 
 fixing it or out on their asses sans deposit. It would definitely be part of 
 the lease agreement.
 
 Personally, I'm of the group that believes you catch more flies with honey

 think there's a good reason for it, they say Landlords, you cannot 
 prohibit tenants from having an antenna.  They're not saying, Landlords, 
 you must let John and Adam drill holes in your house, because they 
 straight up can't make a mandate like that.
 
 If you *can* force the landlord to accept your antenna being on their 
 building against their will, would you really want to?  You gain 
 $30-50/month, but also make a permanent enemy.  IMO, better to just defuse 
 the anger as best you can and fix the damage.
 
 So like everything else they are talking out both sides of their mouth. The 
 problem becomes, how much aggravation does the landlord want to go through 
 as the burden of proof undisputedly lies with them.

 Q:  If I live in a condominium or an apartment building, does this rule 
 apply to me?
 A:  The rule applies to antenna users who live in a multiple dwelling unit 
 building, such as a condominium or apartment building, if the antenna user 
 has an exclusive use area in which to install the antenna.  Exclusive use 
 means an area of the property that only you, and persons you permit, may 
 enter and use to the exclusion of other residents.  For example, your 
 condominium or apartment may include a balcony, terrace, deck or patio that 
 only you can use, and the rule applies to these areas.  The rule does not 
 apply to common areas, such as the roof, the hallways, 
 the walkways or the exterior walls of a condominium or apartment building.  
 Restrictions on antennas installed in these common areas are not covered by 
 the Commission's rule.  For example, the rule would not apply to 
 restrictions that prevent drilling through the exterior wall of a 
 condominium or rental unit and thus restrictions may prohibit installation 
 that requires such drilling.

Perhaps. I would argue that if professionally installed there is no damage.

If you drilled holes in the roof to mount an antenna, you caused damage. If you 
drilled a hole to run the CAT5 cable into the house, you caused damage.

Hey all,
So I got an angry call from a owner of a townhouse who rents it out to one of 
our new internet customers. We were never made aware the home was a rental in 
any way. Our techs always ask permission on where to mount the dish and bring 
in the wire and they were given approval to mount the dish on the roof and 
drill a hole for the wire. If it was a rental, we would have talked to the 
landlord.
The home owner now wants us to remove the dish, cable, and holes and restore 
everything to original condition. He wants new siding, new shingles, the whole 
works. 

I don't exactly know how I should handle this situation. We won't be pulling 
the mount off the roof because it is sealed if we leave it there. We can't move 
the dish because the signal is only good there. Do we have any sort of 
protection from OTARD or anything that allows us to keep things in place since 
we were given permission from the tenant?
Ideas or ways to handle this smoothly? We are not going to pay for new siding 
or roofing when we were given permission to install. If anything, the tenant 
would be responsible since we did the work on their behalf. --

Not sure why UBNT makes it so difficult to determine which models are legal

limited to 5.7 GHz?

I have to do a 2000 ft link to an omni and an NBE-M5-16 or 19 seems perfect. 
I could use a NanoStation Loco, but that doesn't seem right for 2000 feet, 
even if the Loco is already hitting max EIRP. I guess my only other choice 
would be a NanoBridge, not sure why I can't find the 22 dBi version, and the 
25 dBi seems like overkill, actually they both seem like overkill. 




Re: [AFMUG] ePMP Release 2.4 is Now Available

The PTP mode has been there. It allows to turn about the power to 30dbm in 5.8. 
I had a radio running at 30dbm and it would crap out within 12 hours - ethernet 
port would quit working. I dropped it to 28dbm and it works fine YMMV.
 
 
The new PTP master/slave mode was supposed to cut latency - from what I saw it 
only cut it by about 5ms and the performance cut was dramatic.

If that's the case, then that's not cool. I see there's two PTP modes though. 
One is ePTP Master and Slave. The other is just PTP. Look like the PTP mode 
requires fixed distance settings at both ends? And ePTP mode does auto-ranging 
like Canopy BHM/BHSs perhaps?

 When are we going to get 2.5ms framing to sync with Canopy?

 I see we can now turn on the aux port PoE output and it'll power another ePMP 
or Canopy SM. PTP from a customer's barn to their house got easier. But that 
additional 20ms of latency is not so good, so hopefully PTP mode for a 1000' 
link works.

I upgraded a link to 2.4, and I'm not really seeing any difference in

dropped from 6-7ms to 1-2ms (with no load on the link).

This link isn't actually in use, since it was replaced with a Mimosa link, so 
it's not really the best test... but it's also far from low noise, since both 
ends of the link are within a couple of the Mimosa radios, and on the same path.

The PTP mode has been there. It allows to turn about the power to 30dbm in 5.8. 
I had a radio running at 30dbm and it would crap out within 12 hours - ethernet 
port would quit working. I dropped it to 28dbm and it works fine YMMV.
 
 
The new PTP master/slave mode was supposed to cut latency - from what I saw it 
only cut it by about 5ms and the performance cut was dramatic.

If that's the case, then that's not cool. I see there's two PTP modes though. 
One is ePTP Master and Slave. The other is just PTP. Look like the PTP mode 
requires fixed distance settings at both ends? And ePTP mode does auto-ranging 
like Canopy BHM/BHSs perhaps?

 When are we going to get 2.5ms framing to sync with Canopy?

 I see we can now turn on the aux port PoE output and it'll power another ePMP 
or Canopy SM. PTP from a customer's barn to their house got easier. But that 
additional 20ms of latency is not so good, so hopefully PTP mode for a 1000' 
link works.

New ePTP mode of operation: The release introduces a new mode of operation for 
point-to-point configuration providing significantly lower latency than other 
modes. Not available for DFS bands.
