[WISPA] Brookline Gets 4.9GHz Net
Brookline Gets 4.9GHz Net 12.05.06 Moving to take advantage of relaxed emission mask requirements for public-safety networks in the 4.9GHz band, Strix Systems Inc. today said it is working with Galaxy to deploy a wireless network in the Boston-area community of Brookline, Mass., that will combine commercial services with access for police, fire, and emergency service personnel. Using Strix gear, the network will incorporate 4.9GHz access for public safety use, 802.11g technology running over the 2.4GHz band for residents, and backhaul over 802.11a connections. The first municipal WiFi network in the Boston area, the Brookline project marks a step forward for Strix, one of a number of wireless mesh providers trying to establish a beachhead in a market that is expected to undergo significant consolidation in the next 12 to 18 months. This is really the first time that something is in place that makes practical sense on a large scale for 4.9[GHz] technology, says Kirby Russell, director of product marketing for Strix. That's a statement that Strix’s competitors, including giants Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO - message board) and Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT - message board), would likely contest. Motorola, for example, unveiled a dual-band WiFi card last summer that operates over the 2.4GHz and 4.9GHz bands, with a pilot project in Tulsa, Okla. There's no doubt that the network in Brookline, an affluent urban community of 58,000 southwest of downtown Boston, will be a high-visibility project, combining advanced public-safety applications (including, according to Russell, the ability to download 3D renderings of buildings to police and fire personnel in the field) with high-speed Internet connections to local businesses and residents. The development of 4.9GHz networks for public safety agencies has been slowed by controversy over the FCC's mandate of emission masks -- essentially, regulations that define how much radio power can be transmitted at a given frequency. Briefly, since the FCC allocated 50 MHz of spectrum in the 4.9GHz band for public safety use in 2003, a group of networking vendors including Cisco and Nortel Networks Ltd. (NYSE/Toronto: NT - message board), along with the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council, had complained that the mask for the 4.9 band was too restrictive. In a compromise move, the FCC issued two masks, one for low-power applications similar to public WiFi hotspots, and one for high-power systems such as the one being installed in Brookline. The initial mask limited 4.9GHz networks to about half the coverage of systems using 802.11g, explains Russell. Now we have this higher-power [mask], so we're no longer limited to half the coverage of .a or .g [networks], and we can now deploy 4.9GHz in a more consistent and pervasive fashion to support these advanced applications. The Brookline contract comes at a time when Strix and other municipal wireless startups such as BelAir Networks Inc. and Tropos Networks Inc. are facing increased competition from deep-pocketed, diversified companies like Cisco and Motorola. Many observers expect two or three wireless mesh vendors to fold or be acquired in 2007. Russell, naturally, doesn't think Strix will be one of them. (See Mesh Shakeout Looms.) We're looking at exponential growth in 2006 over 2005 at this point, he says. We're in this market for the long haul. — Richard Martin, Senior Editor, Unstrung -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
[WISPA] Intel to Introduce WiFi/WiMAX Multi-Mode
By: Jayesh Mansukhani | Dec 08,2006 Dailytech has reported that Intel in a major step forward is set to bring WiMAX to the mainstream market, by unveiling a new single–chip multi-band WiMAX /WiFi/HSDPA radio. This new chipset to be called Intel WiMAX 2300 will combine virtually all known high-speed wireless access with its support for WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e-2005), WiFi ( 802.11a/b/g/n) and HSDPA (GSM based 3.5 G) Intel continues to drive innovation in mobile broadband access by eliminating the seams that prevent ubiquitous wireless connectivity, said Intel's Sean Maloney. The Intel WiMAX Connection 2300 will help speed the deployment of mobile WiMAX, and accelerate the availability of a new wave of 'personal broadband' laptops and mobile devices that deliver the real Internet. Intel hopes to bring this chipset out by 2007 end with full commercial deployment in 2008. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

[WISPA] Portland, Oregon, Launches Free Wireless Internet Access Service
Portland, Oregon, Launches Free Wireless Internet Access Service Dec 05, 2006 News Release Today, the City of Portland, Oregon, launched the first phase of the Unwire Portland city-wide Wi-Fi network project that, when completed, will provide users with free wireless Internet access at 95 percent of the city's indoor and outdoor spaces. Beginning today, free Wi-Fi Internet access is available in areas of downtown Portland centered on Pioneer Courthouse Square, as well as much of the Buckman, Lloyd and Kerns neighborhoods. Portland's residents and visitors can now enjoy wireless broadband access with speeds comparable to DSL at no cost, using the free advertising-supported wireless service. Portland's public works field personnel and first responders will gain greatly expanded access to wireless network services to facilitate more responsive data communications. It's only fitting that Portland, as one of the country's pioneering technology capitals, is one of the first metropolitan cities to offer free Wi-Fi to all citizens, said Portland Mayor Tom Potter. They mayor's office and the Bureau of Technology Services worked with MetroFi to design and implement the service, which utilizes Wi-Fi mesh network that operates by transmitting data via access points mounted on street light poles throughout the city. In time, Portland expects to use the wireless cloud to streamline some government services through real-time communication with workers in the field; for example, meters may be read with wireless devices, or citizens could instantly report potholes. Almost half of the U.S. population still does not have Internet access at home, said Potter. Only about 30 percent of youth in the lowest household-income bracket use computers at home as compared to over 90 percent of youth in the highest income bracket. I know that Unwire Portland is an important push forward to enhance Digital Opportunity in Portland, and to help us in our goal of achieving equal access to technology and the internet for all of Portland's residents. The Portland network is expected to be completed by mid 2008. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
[WISPA] Alvarion's WiFi Stopgap
Alvarion's WiFi Stopgap 12.07.06 Broadband wireless vendor Alvarion Ltd. (Nasdaq: ALVR - message board) is integrating WiFi access with WiMax backhaul in a bid to allow users to connect with early deployments of the technology before widespread WiMax clients become available. The Tel Aviv, Israel-based company has combined an outdoor WiFi access point with its BreezeMAX or BreezeACCESS VL units for backhaul and network management software. The BreezeMAX basestations can operate in the 2.3-, 2.5- or 3GHz range. The BreezeACCESS VL box is a 5GHz unit. The integration work reflects the market reality that -- although there is now plenty of WiMax and pre-WiMax infrastructure now available -- there is a distinct scarcity of mobile WiMax clients, PC cards, laptops, PDAs, and smartphones on the market. The new Alvarion boxes are intended as a stopgap while the market waits for WiMax clients. It is a half step from offering WiMax services all the way to the end user as its WiMax in the backhaul, WiFi in the access to reflect the current state of user devices, says Carlton O'Neil, VP of marketing at the company. As WiMax end-user devices become widely available, WiMax network builders can offer WiMax all the way to the end user. Right now, WiFi is the best way. One unavoidable drawback of this approach is that the range of WiFi access is limited to 300 feet or less. Standard WiFi range on the end user side, several miles on the WiMax side for backhaul, notes O'Neil. Other vendors looking at combining WiFi and WiMax are coming at it from a different angle than the new Alvarion boxes. Mesh vendors such as BelAir Networks Inc. and Tropos Networks Inc. want to use WiMax basestations as backhaul for a number of WiFi mesh nodes. Indeed, Alvarion has been working with Tropos Networks Inc. in order to provide WiMax backhaul for the search giant's 802.11 mesh deployment in Mountain View, Calif. O'Neil says that WiMax QOS can still help to improve overall wireless multimedia capabilities on the network. There is a mapping algorithm in the WiMax piece for doing QOS on the backhaul for the WiFi access points, O'Neil elucidates. The WiFi works as usual, but the backhaul can be prioritized by user and application using WiMax QOS. A possible application might be streaming video to a laptop where the end user gets the service over WiFi, over the last few hundred feet, but from the AP it is carried on WiMax back to the network, he continues. This means much better service quality and again enables carriers with a WiMax network -- or aspirations to build one -- to be able to offer service immediately to any and all devices that support WiFi. Despite the fact that some industry commentators still see WiFi and WiMax as competing technologies, it is clear that the short- and medium-range wireless specifications can just as easily work in harmony. Eventually, the market will likely see dual-mode WiFi and WiMax devices on the market. — Dan Jones, Site Editor, Unstrung -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

Re: [WISPA] Clearwire-Grand Rapids-Licensed WiMAX?
Dunno, but it's only 30 minutes from me. I did see the story on the local news, but it didn't say much. Here is a search for wimax on the local news site. 4 links to stories. Might be the info you need.

[WISPA] using diversity outdoors
What would be the advantage (if any) to using two antennas on the client in, connected to a CM9 and running in 'diversity' mode, where both antennas point to the same AP? I have had one client that seems to have some ugly multipath issues, and rather unstable signal levels and poor stability concerning pings. Is there any rules to follow, if I try two antennas?

Re: [WISPA] using diversity outdoors
First, if you think it's multipath try moving the antenna. I've had some as low as 2' above the ground to get the best signal and speeds possible. I've had a couple, maybe even a few, where moving 2 to 3 feet up or down (often down) seems to do the trick. As for running diversity, it'll be a trial and error thing. Two things seem to happen with multipath. You could be getting a signal out of phase or polarity shifted. Or both. If you try it you'll want the antennas 3 to 10 feet vertically separated. You'll have to try and see if the same or cross polarity is the key for your customer. I've found that multipath seems to be really really rare in the wild. Usually it's something else.

[WISPA] WISPA website down - explanation
Hi all, My ISP suffered a six hour Internet backbone outage on Friday. The backbone provider to the CLEC that I buy backbone from had a cable go bad in Denver and it only took them five frickin hours to figure it out. The WISPA website is hosted here, so if you couldn't get to it, that is why. I hope everyone else had a better Friday than I did Matt Larsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

I've had some as low as 2' above the ground to get the best signal and speeds possible. I've had a couple, maybe even a few, where moving 2 to 3 feet up or down (often down) seems to do the trick. We tried moving the antenna. It didn't have much effect. We tried up and down and even a little side to side... didn't mean much. I HAVE had moving the antenna just a foot upwards change an unworkable link to a rock solid stable one. Seemed it was a roof reflection, with the antenna at the peak of the roof. As for running diversity, it'll be a trial and error thing. Two things seem to happen with multipath. You could be getting a signal out of phase or polarity shifted. Or both. Well, that much I assumed. If you try it you'll want the antennas 3 to 10 feet vertically separated. You'll have to try and see if the same or cross polarity is the key for your customer. What about horizontally? All our sites are hpol. I've found that multipath seems to be really really rare in the wild. Usually it's something else. Well, viewed from the customer end, we're going over one house, between two, and just over a well-travelled road. While most customers are generally rock-steady with signal moving perhaps a db or two now and then, this one's about 10 db weaker than it should be and fluctuates constantly 2-4 db. It was improved by moving the antenna upwards 18 inches, but it's still not stable, and more vertical height is probably not in the cards.
