Re: [WISPA] Good news on the wimax unlicensed front

Johnny-o,


I have made some mistakes in the past, however this is wimax- and for the
most part I have no reason to believe any of their claims are false or
Filled with marketing goobly gook.

Aperto always did and has performed well beyond it's claims. I admit fault
In intially thinking that the product from vivato would be interesting,
Of course as many of you know now, they never had a real phased array
antenna and with the noise floor where it is in 2.4, doesn't make much
Of a difference. Airspan I have had some experience with ( their wipll
platform ) and everything that they claim about it is actually true,
So I would naturally assume that this is the same case. Additionally,
If they didn't know what they were doing they wouldn't have deployments
Like the one they have in japan that has over 25,000 CPE's, ( using the same
product ) or the one They have in mexico that has 750,000 clients.

 Simple. Since the CPE self provisions and aligns itself, the customer
 only need to know they need to install the device on their rooftop. And
 they also have indoor devices that work to maybe a KM or so from the
 tower but those Are as simple as a customer plugs in the ethernet plug
 and power and puts The CPE near a window. I honestly doubt anyone will
 use them, but they Are available.
 
 So really zero truck roll? Not really as most customers will want the
 wisp to install it- but the major benefit is that the CPE's will not
 require techs to carry a pc or anything other than cabling and tools to
 set up the roof mount.

 Guys,
 
 Just got out of training for the new AIRSPAN wimax product for 5.8.
 Unlike most other vendors, they are going to market with their

 So, while the equipment has not been ratified by the Wimax forum as

 be either complaint as is or will require a minor software upgrade
 for
 Wimax 
 forum certified compatiability, assuming that the forum go with the

 some notes on the product:
 
 initial pricing expected to be very reasonably priced on the AP side
 of things,
  
 
 600.00 / cpe

 
 
 35 mb / sector real world throughput @ 64 QAM
 
 full service flow integration for QOS
 
 can be used in either 5 mhz channel size or 10 mhz channel
 
 zero truck roll CPE ( users can easily install the equipment )

AirmatrixOS is not starOS and does offer vlans. Its its own web based OS.

You can order their stuff with starOS, but that's really only specific
custoemrs that order it anymore.

 Airmatrix does VLAN but its uses StarOS, so it does VLAN the wrong way for
 some one trying to sell to carriers.
 If you sell to a carrier, they are going towant to be delivered a minimum of
 1500 MTU. StarOS can't do that with VLAN.
 However, if you didn;t need VLAN, Defacto does give EXCELLENT support.  And
 they ship ONTIME.  They aren't the cheapest, but they give the value you are
 looking for.
 
 Mikrotik is the preferred solution if you need to do VLAN. Wisp-Router also
 offers support.
 He's been in business now for atleast 10 years.  He may charge you by the

2006-06-12 Thread Jeffrey Thomas
Lets say you are using vlans to not only segment traffic, but priortize
traffic as well. So a double tagged vlan, would give you the ability to
create  A vlan for segmentation and a VLAN within that vlan for
priortization, for additional segmentation as well.


I could be wrong though.

 Not having read the entire thread, I'm assuming the term double
 VLAN refers to the ability to create a VLAN (or many) that each
 have VLANs inside them.  There are some places where this may be
 needed, but it can get to be an extremely complex network.

Interesting that the city changed the contract after the fact.

MobilePro Ditches Muni Mesh Project
http://www.telecomweb.com/tnd/17055.html

Wireless data specialist MobilePro this morning walked away from its 
contract to build a citywide Wi-Fi mesh in Sacramento, Calif. - only two 
months after the first test system went live - in what looks to be an 
acrimonious disagreement with city officials over the economics behind 
the deal.


MobilePro says the city blindsided it with new contract requirements 
that would require it to give away high-speed service for which it had 
planned to charge. In addition, the company says the city has withdrawn 
guarantees that the company would serve as anchor tenant for the 
network in order to provide the revenue to provide lower-speed service 
to economically disadvantaged residents.


MobilePro won the Sacramento contract last year, beating Motorola and 
ATT (then known as SBC) for the business. The plan called for a mesh 
that initially covered Sacramento's downtown, Old Town and state-capital 
areas - an area of about 10 square miles - with the entire city to 
eventually be built out in phases.


MobilePro was to provide various free and fee-based services with secure 
high-speed data, voice and video throughout the planned coverage area. 
Subscriptions were to be sold on an annual, monthly, daily and hourly 
basis. Multiple Internet service providers (ISPs) were to be allowed to 
sell their services over the network. The entire project, MobilePro 
says, was to be based on its massive project in Arizona, which started 
in the city of Tempe and which has since grown to include neighboring 
municipalities to create a muni mesh sprawling across 187 miles of 
Arizona, the largest so far seen (TelecomWeb news break, March 16).


After what MobilePro termed a lengthy permitting process, it finally 
launched its first pilot test in April in an area around the city's 
Caesar Chavez Plaza park. The pilot launch included a ribbon-cutting 
ceremony, with local politicians mouthing predictable platitudes about 
cutting the wire and the importance of the whole thing to the city and 
its residents, students, visitors and businesses.


Meanwhile, things weren't going smoothly behind the scenes. MobilePro 
says the city sent it a counter proposal requiring that the company 
establish a free high-speed wireless network supported almost 
exclusively by advertising revenue without the benefit of the city 
serving as an anchor tenant.


Such a demand directly conflicts with the original plan, according to a 
.PDF presentation on the Sacramento City Web site. In that presentation, 
the city outlined a project with free 56 Kb/s service, but residential 
service priced at $20 month for 1 Mb/s and $30 per month for 1.5 Mb/s; 
higher prices were detailed for business
service or service that includes VoIP. There also was a somewhat sneaky 
price plan of $4 for one hour of service - an emerging tactic in the 
industry that can zing a single shot user with what is really an 
astronomical fee for a few bits of data - but just $6 for an entire day 
or $10 for a week.


Based on the company's successful Tempe, Ariz., model, MobilePro's 
original proposal provided for limited-area, limited-bandwidth, no-cost 
service but required higher- bandwidth broadband users to pay a monthly 
fee, the company says, adding it also offered an alternative designed 
to close the 'digital divide' to the city's low-income quintile of 
residents, which included the city serving as an anchor tenant, but this 
proposal was likewise rejected by the city.


Thus, the company says, it has now rejected the city as a customer.

MobilePro President and COO Jerry Sullivan, in a prepared statement 
explaining the decision, said, It is our understanding based on the 
final request of the City of Sacramento that the city would require 
MobilePro to provide free high-speed wireless Internet service to all 
residents and have the company rely primarily on
advertising revenues for its profits and returns on investment. Based 
upon MobilePro's research and experience as one of the leading Wi-Fi 
broadband wireless network service providers to municipalities in North 
America, MobilePro does not believe that an advertising-supported 
business case is financially sustainable. At this time, we view such a 
restrictive economic model as incompatible with our original long-term 
plans for both the residents of Sacramento as well as the MobilePro 
stockholders.


As of press time, the city of Sacramento had not said what it now plans 
to do, if anything, to offer a municipal mesh network.

Sounds to me like the original contract wasn't a contract.  Otherwise, 
MobilePro would have grounds for breach and there doesn't appear to be any 
lawsuit pending.  I'm guessing that MobilePro was in the process of 
providing a proof-of-concept in order to secure a contract.

[WISPA] Spectrum sharing test proposal

2006-06-12 Thread Marlon K. Schafer (509) 982-2181

Hi All,

Sorry for the cross post.  I'm hoping that the FCC committee people will see 
this sooner and work on it sooner/more this way


Here is the issue:
http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-06-77A1.pdf

Basically the FCC is asking if they should allow two 10MHz chunks of 
spectrum to be used as tests.  Exactly what the tests would be, what 
spectrum would be used, and what we should be looking for is all up in the 
air.


I've attached my 1st draft.  Please note the paragraph numbers when you 
respond to me so I can more easily work your thoughts into this.


thanks!

Re: [WISPA] looking for a device

2006-06-12 Thread Tom DeReggi

To clarify

The term I referred to as Double VLAN is not the technically correct name 
(thats just what I call it), it is actually called Q in Q as stated by 
several in this thread.


One of the reasons this is valuable is for a wholesale network. It basically 
allows you to create a single VLAN end to end across your network for a 
subscriber or reseller, and still use VLAN for your local needs to operate 
your network.


I'll give an example of where I might use VLAN for my network need. I have a 
single fiber connection from the basement to the roof.  On the roof I have a 
VLAN switch and 6 sector radios. I have a router in the basement.  I could 
then seperate data between the different radio traffic by giving a unique 
VLAN to the Ethernet port that each sector radio connects to, and route 
between them in my basement router.


I'll give an example of where I'd use a VLAN end to end for a reseller. 
Reseller has a connection between me and them at one point on my network. 
The reseller might provide the backbone and IPs. The client routes the 
customers traffic to a specific VLAN when entering my network. I then have 
that VLAN configured across my network until reaches the end user's building 
router that terminates the VLAN.


Now what happens when the resellers customer (example 2) resides in the 
building (example 1)?  Normally two VLANs can't exist simultaneously as teh 
switch wouldn;t know which ID to tag data with.  Q in Q VLAN would allow one 
VLAN ID to reside in side of another VLAN.  Its the same concept as 
tunnelling, except for its not.


Now how does this apply to radios that support Q in Q? Depends. Use your 
imagination. The first problem is can the radio pass Q in Q VLAN data? 
Second can it tag it? Being able to tag VLAN data at the radio level can be 
extremely useful. First off it avoids having to configure a second device 
(VLAN switch) that complicates the automation of configurations.  Part of 
the Idea is that CLECs and Governement, are all high on Security, and they 
do not want to have to coordinate complex IP models between their systems 
and the wholesalers, instead they want to be able to send traffic LAyer2 and 
seperate traffic so one client does not have the abilty to see the other 
client's traffic.  Its sort of an Ethernet way of doing a Private Virtual 
Circuit.


The only problem with VLAN is you need to have every component of you 
network that passes VLANs to be able to pass large packets so Full MTU can 
be delivered to clients. This is one of the limits to Wifi and regular 
switches, is many Wifi devices and all non managed switches do not pass 
large packets.


Radio like Trango and Alvarion (with Q in Q support) have the abilty to pass 
large packets.


The other advantage of VLAN is that when used across a PtMP design and VLAN 
support at CPE, it allows doing remote banwdith management based on the 
customers circuit ID, and having a way to distinguish and differentiate the 
data.


Q in Q, gives the provider flexibilty on how and when they would like to use 
VLAN and in multiple ways simultaneously.


Its uncertain how Q in Q will be used for sure, as VLAN does add much 
complexity over say a basic bridged design.  Part of the benefit, is that 
redundancy is not always supported in an ideal way when VLAN is used. By 
allowing a VLAN end to end encapsulated in the other packets, it potentially 
could allow avoiding the pitfalls that limit redundancy by having the end 
locations (the reseller and the client) the one tagging  the VLAN and 
knowing that that VLAN info survives any other VLAN tagging that may happen 
on the network, or for that matter abilty for that data to route across 
paths that are not technically that VLAN assignment on the other layer.  I'm 
not explaining this clearly, but that is the gist of it.


The end result is, if a provider's whole network supports Q in Q, it allows 
them to compete with other fiber Metro-E services.


Many believe that the design of the future for Metro deployments is to run 
MPLS at the edge devices, and then Q in Q VLAN inside the Metro Ethernet 
rings.  The key ideas here is abilty to creaetequivelent of virtual circuits 
of Ethernet.

Re: [WISPA] looking for a device

2006-06-12 Thread Tom DeReggi
MPLS is atricky thing to define as MPLS has many components and features, 
depending on what features you want.
The biggest benefit of MPLS is it is a labeling system.  Each packet gets 
labeled with a class, and that class can include many variables 
(destination, source, packet type/port, customer name, a few others, etc). 
This label is integrated into the packet and follows it.  What you do with 
that label data depends. MPLS also includes components for distributing 
instruvtion on how to handle the various classes to its neighbors and 
routers across the network, as well how to have that labeling survive 
differnt network types (ATM, EThernet, Sonet). MPLS also has a VPN 
tunnelling feature, most advantageous because its abilty to survive 
dissimilar networks.


Many Believe Q in Q is a replacement for MPLS for local Metro Ethernet 
networks. VLANs are different in the sense that each packet may be tagged 
with a VLAN ID, but it also requires manual configuration of every switch 
that it crosses. So you physically map out the VLANs path via the Switch 
configuration.  Or atleast, at what point the VLAN Switch stripps the tag 
and retags it. But this is defined per ethernet port across your network.


One of the benefits of VLAN, is that it is widely supported by many many 
many in place devices. And there are just a few simple bits changed in the 
header of each packet at Layer 2. So it is VERY fast. ZERO degregation to 
delivery of packet thats getting tagged and untagged.  You can now buy 
Layer2 managed (VLAN) 100 mbps 24 pot switches for $160. (SMC).


MPLS is more involved because you now have to have more expensive routers 
and MPLS enabled devices. Its a big redesign to add MPLS. One of the reasons 
people only use it at the edge where it is most appropriate to use for large 
providers. A MPLS does nothing unless there is a router configured with a 
decission process on what to do with specific class packets. Its not just 
about the circuit ID. MPLS can forward it to a priority queue for example to 
control QOS.


But what one learns is that Ethernet is also starting to get QOS features 
added, without MPLS required, and there are many third party solutions like 
Diff Serv that can be integrated with VLAns to get addequate results for one 
network design to deliver QOS.


Mikrotik EoIP, not exactly sure.  I know it has significantly more over head 
on the packet than VLAN, wasting bandwidth. BUt I'd like to learn more about 
what EoIP is.


I think the most valuable technology of the three for WISPs depends on which 
ones get implemented into radios. We gain ease and power, when the features 
are added to the radios.  One of the things that gives MPLS a disadvantage 
is that there is not a good reliable open source version of it yet. VLAN is 
solid on OPEN source.  You want a technology that works on your routers and 
your radios both.  MPLS is more complex and needs more processing power and 
code than just VLAN so less likely to be added to radio firmwares.


I am no way dismissing MPLS, I'm just saying committing to MPLS may mean 
commiting to name brand routers and such.  MPLS is more powerful and ideal 
in many ways, but if you do not require all the features you can accomplish 
many of the things using alternate solutions that can be delivered today.

Thanks to all for the double VLAN explanation. That makes perfect sense to

Can anyone describe any functional and/or technical differences between 
VLANs and say MPLS or Mikrotik's EoIP? It sounds to me like all three are 
functional equivalents of each other. Please correct me if this is an 
incorrect assumption. I have Googled it so spare me the obvious. I want to

It is also referred as 802.1q tagging... If it supports multiple layers,
you can have a customer VLAN tags within your network VLAN tags.  Just
need your equipment that takes off your tags before it gets to the
customer.

ATT uses the Cisco 3750 switches to do it at the customer's premises.
Then the customer can have VLAN 10 at one location and VLAN 10 at
another, and it is completely transparent to the end user.

If that made sense.

AirmatrixOS is not starOS and does offer vlans. Its its own web based OS.

You can order their stuff with starOS, but that's really only specific
custoemrs that order it anymore.

If you sell to a carrier, they are going towant to be delivered a minimum 
of

1500 MTU. StarOS can't do that with VLAN.
However, if you didn;t need VLAN, Defacto does give EXCELLENT support. 
And
they ship ONTIME.  They aren't the cheapest, but they give the value you 
are

looking for.

Mikrotik is the preferred solution if you need to do VLAN. Wisp-Router 
also

offers support.
He's been in business now for atleast 10 years.  He may charge you by the
minute, but not at a rate any higher than Cisco would charge you.

I could be missing the product you are suggesting, but the only dual 
radio

products I can find our base station products. I not looking for a base
station, I am looking for something client facing. Further, I see no
mention of VLAN support.

I am looking for a device with the following requirements:

* Can backhaul at 11Mbps operating in the 5.2Ghz band
* Can support VLANs
* Can assign a VLAN to one Ethernet port
* Powered by PoE (the standard is not required)
* Can act as a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi access point assigned to a different VLAN
than the Ethernet port
* Everything in a single outdoor enclosure

Any ideas?

Jeff,

Yes that is yet another clever way to use Q in Q VLANs.

Lets say you are using vlans to not only segment traffic, but priortize
traffic as well. So a double tagged vlan, would give you the ability to
create  A vlan for segmentation and a VLAN within that vlan for
priortization, for additional segmentation as well.


I could be wrong though.

Not having read the entire thread, I'm assuming the term double
VLAN refers to the ability to create a VLAN (or many) that each
have VLANs inside them.  There are some places where this may be
needed, but it can get to be an extremely complex network.
