RickG wrote: Dave, Thanks for the explanation. Really, my clients want to improve their browsing speed. Of course, like most people, they associate speed with speed test website such as speakeasy, etc. In order to improve speed you need lower RTT and less congestion/packet loss on any given route. The best way to achieve that is with a proper blend of transit providers and peers. Additionally, having your own hosted speedtest helps. -Matt -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

Re: [WISPA] Public safety wants interoperability funds tied to DHS guidelines
Dawn, 700 MHz availability is a big deal for us. Can you please take the points in this article apart and let us know what you know about what is going on here? If funds are available which could help us gain licensed spectrum then knowing the inside scoop on this process is a big deal and could yield us spectrum. Your thoughts are appreciated. I have to admit I am out of the loop on the status of 700 MHz currently. There have been so many changes in direction and policy regarding this band that I do not know where we stand with access to this spectrum. I heard at the WCA show last week that there will be an auction of some of that band in about 6 months. That is all I know currently. On a side note, unless you own 2.3 or 2.5 GHz spectrum there was little for you to see at the WCA show this time around. I was there to look for direction in the AWS spectrum I own now. There was very little talk of AWS at this show. Scriv Dawn DiPietro wrote: All, As quoted from the article; Under a law passed in December, the Department of Commerce is required to award $1 billion in interoperability grants by Sept. 30. While public-safety officials have applauded the decision by Congress to make the $1 billion in funding available immediately�instead of waiting for the completion of the 700 MHz auction, which will provide the revenue source for the money�they have expressed concern about the disbursement process. I found this very interesting and may shed some light on what the motive behind the 700MHz space.

I grabbed an HP iPaq 6945 from Cingular for $189 (with two year contract) and have been playing with it on an off for the last couple of days. The biggest advantage to this phone is the built-in GPS, along with WiFi and Bluetooth. There are some neat functions that are already built-in to the main OS... such as the camera showing GPS coordinates on the picture when you take it (if you enable that option). Also, many commercial map programs (TomTom 6, etc.) work on this phone with the GPS. With a simple car mount and car adapter, you have a full-fledged GPS device built into your phone. There are also programs that will connect to WiFi and update GPS coordinates to a website... so you could have real-time locations for your installers with no monthly fee. ;) It's running Windows Mobile 5, which is better than any other Windows phone OS I have used, but still not as easy to navigate as the Palm OS. The biggest feature on the Treo 650 for me is the SMS messaging. It's easy to access (single button) and it keeps a chat dialog going with each person you have talked to. I send and receive over 100 messages per day, sometimes 200-300. It's quick, easy, and can be done with one hand. If there was just a simple program that would function the same, the iPaq could be a great phone for me. I should also mention I purchased a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. This is a pretty cool device as well built in WiFi and Bluetooth, running Linux with a nice GUI. Nice wide, bright screen too. It just doesn't have a phone or GPS, just WiFi. Still pretty cool for that type of a device.

Forbes, You will need more than a harness if you don't have any climbing gear already. If you are not an experienced climber - - deal with someone who can lead you in what you do need for the type/style towers you will be climbing. A good start would be: Tennessee Equipment supply Co.

Re: [WISPA] Climbing Harness
I think the one we bought a year ago is an Elk River harness. It has a seat, which is just a bar that goes under your behind. It's very comfortable. Think it was more than 200, more like 300. But you will also need a few different lanyards and such. Harness is useless without the lanyards, safety wise.

If you have Microsoft MapPoint you can convert this way. Open/Import your Excel address spreadsheet inside MapPoint. However, I seem to remember having an issue of getting the lat/long back out.

Re: [WISPA] SmartPhone Happiness...
Apparently Nokia is now out with the N800, the successor to the 770. I don't have techno-lust details yet - look for yourself at http:// www.nseries.com/products/n800/#l=products,n800, but friends tell me it fixes the weaknesses of the 770, and is the preferred Linux hacking platform (cool open source stuff coming out for it) for portable Internet-connected devices.

Re: [WISPA] SmartPhone Happiness...
Absolutely amazing how many windows phones have come out in the last few months. Just 12 months ago there were only 3 ... and now there's got'ta be dozens. I love my PPC6700 so much I bought a 2nd one ... EVDO / RTT1X / IS95 tri-mode, bluetooth, wifi, camera, added a couple GB on mini-SD, slide-out full keyboard, huge screen. Got Microsoft VC++ enterprise ... it comes with windows mobile 5 development environment. But I was disappointed at how stripped down the windows mobile version of MFC was. If you can get one without the neutered OS you'll be happier. The carriers have stripped key networking components of the OS to keep you from using your phone as a wifi access point for nearby laptops. I've got the original fully capable OS and it's amazing what you can do. If you see a pop-up that says a newer version of OS is available, click here ... DON'T!!! It's a neutered version from your carrier (not from Microsoft) which removes specific dial-up networking components to limit your abilities. You mention Linux as the preferred platform. My old Moto buddies tell me Moto offered a Linux based phone platform for 2 whole years and NOBODY stepped up for developing applications ... so Moto abandonned it switching to Windows to launch the Q phone. I think it casts doubt whether the market really wanted a Linux platform phone. I mean, when you offer a supported Linux product and nobody gives a hoot ... what would you conclude?

Re: [WISPA] Climbing Harness
OSHA (or some big insurance co maybe) recently required that all harnesses on oil rigs were to be replaced with fireproof ones, at least for welders. The yellow nylon ones that are popular with WISPs, etc all showed up on the used market in big quantity. Many of them with minimal wear or apparent damage. My friend who worked on a offshore rig, who climbs for me sometimes said they threw out about 100 of them, many still new in the package. Since they get on/off the rig via chopper, and the personal bags weight is very limited, he couldn't easily bring any home, and I suspect that they ended up like most of the refuse on the rig... at the bottom of the Gulf. Not suggesting that anyone buy a used harness, but just trying to put some possible explanation out there as to why they are there. pd chris cooper wrote: Tessco has them. Although- I went to my local outdoor store/pawn shop last week. They had a whole rack full of climbing harnesses that had been pawned. Not quite sure how to read that one. chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Forbes Mercy Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 3:45 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Climbing Harness Hello Fellow WISP's I need to purchase a tower climbing harness.

Re: [WISPA] SmartPhone Happiness...
Yes, that looks like a great phone... even running Windows... ;) Has anyone seen or come across a better SMS program for Windows Mobile? The SMS client on the Palm 650 is the best I have seen... it puts each incoming and outgoing message in a chat format for each person... so you have history for each person, and can immediately click on their conversation and send a message. It makes messaging very quick and easy... two button presses (one to get into SMS, one to select the person) and you can start typing the message... but I can't find anything for Windows Mobile that will do even close to the same.

My old Moto buddies tell me Moto offered a Linux based phone platform for 2 whole years and NOBODY stepped up for developing applications ... so Moto abandonned it switching to Windows to launch the Q phone. I think it casts doubt whether the market really wanted a Linux platform phone. I mean, when you offer a supported Linux product and nobody gives a hoot ... what would you conclude?

Apparently Nokia is now out with the N800, the successor to the 770. I don't have techno-lust details yet - look for yourself at http:// www.nseries.com/products/n800/#l=products,n800, but friends tell me it fixes the weaknesses of the 770, and is the preferred Linux hacking platform (cool open source stuff coming out for it) for portable Internet-connected devices. One of the funnier... cooler... things I've seen of late is Bluetooth GPS devices.

I grabbed an HP iPaq 6945 from Cingular for $189 (with two year contract) and have been playing with it on an off for the last couple of days. The biggest advantage to this phone is the built-in GPS, along with WiFi and Bluetooth. There are some neat functions that are already built-in to the main OS... such as the camera showing GPS coordinates on the picture when you take it (if you enable that option). Also, many commercial map programs (TomTom 6, etc.) work on this phone with the GPS. With a simple car mount and car adapter, you have a full-fledged GPS device built into your phone. There are also programs that will connect to WiFi and update GPS coordinates to a website... so you could have real-time locations for your installers with no monthly fee. ;) It's running Windows Mobile 5, which is better than any other Windows phone OS I have used, but still not as easy to navigate as the Palm OS. The biggest feature on the Treo 650 for me is the SMS messaging. It's easy to access (single button) and it keeps a chat dialog going with each person you have talked to. I send and receive over 100 messages per day, sometimes 200-300. It's quick, easy, and can be done with one hand. If there was just a simple program that would function the same, the iPaq could be a great phone for me. I should also mention I purchased a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. This is a pretty cool device as well built in WiFi and Bluetooth, running Linux with a nice GUI. Nice wide, bright screen too. It just doesn't have a phone or GPS, just WiFi. Still pretty cool for that type of a device. Travis Microserv --- Steve Stroh 425-939-0076 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.stevestroh.com -- WISPA

I have the T-Mobile version of this phone called the MDA. AFAIK Sprint and T-Mobile do not strip any features from the phone. I belive one or two of the other carriers do strip some features.

Re: [WISPA] churn, double play and why WLP is key - I finallyunderstand it
Tom, I just read this now- but I would say that you likely didn't deploy a packetwave with the CBR qos enabled. Aperto works like crap if you don't Set up service flows on a bsr. On 1/9/07 9:41 PM, Tom DeReggi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jeff, Not to be confrontational but. 400 calls per sector Hogwash, not a chance in heXX. I do agree that Aperto was one of the first products in the market place to offer full feature sets in one package, with strengths on its QOS and Bandwidth management, and NLOS ability. A lot of smart innovated things on their radios, much earlier than other vendors. But its down fall was limiting itself to only 6 Mhz channels, and mandatory pre-defined split of bandwidth allocated for each direction, limiting its possible bandwdith to approximately 1/6 what the VL could deliver REAL WORLD. Aperto limited themselves to believe there wouldn't be fast enough backhauls to justify having faster sectors, which was wrong. They also didn't consider noise as a key factor, when doing their math on what speed they could get with 6Mhz. Then throw in their lack of having remote live testing tools, so half the time it was hard to even know what performance was even being acheived, without a truck roll and taking the client down to test. I got better VOIP performance out of our Trango's than I did Aperto, which is why we pulled our Aperto out of DC.

Re: [WISPA] SmartPhone Happiness...
AFAIK Sprint and T-Mobile do not strip any features from the phone. Oh yeah? Both my PPC6700s are on Sprint. Our main SW developer uses the 2nd one ... he has a habit of regularly getting latest updates on all devices. Sprint's support site listed a new OS for download (it wasn't from a microsoft site -- it was from Sprint). The PPC6700 with the Sprint downloaded OS Update has key elements of the dial-up networking removed. I didn't update mine, and glad I didn't. I can browse the web from my laptop over bluetooth thru the phone. On the phone with the updated OS we can't do this anymore. It's natural that the carrier would try to remove some of the OS flexibility, as they want to sell a higher cost subscription for pc tethered operation. From their perspective it was a problem needing to be solved that Microsoft windows mobile 5 would permit any phone with a pc wireless interface to do this.
