Can someone tell me in just a few words whether or not I should even consider mounting WISP equipment on such a tower, and what some of the issues I would face would be? According to the FCC site, the tower is operating between 566-572 mhz at about 12.5kW analog, and 7.2kW digital. Interference in unlicensed bands (900mHz, 2.4gHz, and 5.8gHz), radio frequency hazards etc... any information you could give me would be helpful.

[WISPA] Big Boys Eyeing Whitespace spectrum
Tech Firms Push to Use TV Airwaves for Internet Cable, Phone Companies Watch Warily By Charles Babington Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, March 13, 2007; D01 A coalition of big technology companies wants to bring high-speed Internet access to consumers in a new way: over television airwaves. Key to the project is whether a device scheduled to be delivered to federal labs today lives up to its promise. The coalition, which includes Microsoft and Google, wants regulators to allow idle TV channels, known as white space, to be used to beam the Internet into homes and offices. But the Federal Communications Commission first must be convinced that such traffic would not bleed outside its designated channels and interfere with existing broadcasts. The six partners -- Microsoft, Google, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Intel and Philips -- say they can meet that challenge. Today, they plan to give FCC officials a prototype device, built by Microsoft, that will undergo months of testing. If the device passes muster, the coalition says, it could have versions in stores by early 2009. Proponents liken the idea to so-called WiFi signals, which provide wireless Internet access from phone or cable companies to users in airports, coffee shops and elsewhere. These devices have the potential to take the success of the WiFi phenomenon to another level, said Jonathan S. Adelstein, an FCC commissioner. Warily watching from the sidelines are the major telephone and cable companies that compete to bring high-speed Internet into millions of businesses and homes. Telecommunications officials and analysts differ on the degree to which TV-spectrum-based Internet access might seriously threaten existing Internet providers. Some said a new Internet provider might force the older companies to drop prices. Others said the available white-space spectrum might be too limited to make much of an impact. Wireless carriers said they were not afraid of new rivals. The wireless industry was born in a competitive environment, said Jeffrey Nelson, a Verizon Wireless spokesman, playing down the risk to his company. ATT said in a statement that FCC rules should protect not only current TV band incumbents from interference but also those services that will be introduced into adjacent spectrum in the future. Several analysts said a TV-spectrum system might make the most sense in rural areas, where high-speed Internet access via phone or cable lines is expensive to deploy. Small companies might build some towers, beam white-space spectrum to farm homes and cabins, and connect it to an Internet provider, they said. In urban areas, a TV Internet system might somehow be combined with phone- or cable-provided Internet service to redirect signals through every wall of a house or office -- without replacing the phone or cable company as the provider, said a person affiliated with the coalition. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record about such possible uses. In a document filed with the FCC, the coalition stated: As the world's largest producers of consumer electronics, software, semiconductors, personal computers, and peripheral devices, the Coalition's members stand ready to commit substantial resources to bring these advancements to consumers. Google joined the coalition because the effort could create opportunities to transmit information over new platforms. It also might strengthen Google's hand should the traditional Internet pipelines -- big phone and cable companies -- start charging Internet companies higher prices to move their content more swiftly to consumers. It recognizes that the heart of the problem is a lack of competition on the broadband platform, said Rick Whitt, Google's telecom and media counsel in Washington. We're very interested in finding ways to create platforms for other broadband connectivity. Staff writers Sam Diaz and Alan Sipress contributed to this report. David T.

Re: [WISPA] NWR:rules for building your own computer .. or wireless device?
Insofar as Mark proposed that wireless systems be certified like PCs - e.g., that a system is authorized if all of its component parts are certified, and assembled in a typical fashion - I am posting the Introduction to the FCC's NPRM 95-46 on Digital Devices, Equipment Authorization. The complete text can be found at *http://tinyurl.com/33od3a*. INTRODUCTION 1. By this action, the Commission proposes to amend Parts 2 and 15 of the rules to streamline the equipment authorization requirements for personal computers and personal computer peripherals. Specifically, we are proposing to relax the equipment authorization requirements for these devices from FCC certification to a new equipment authorization process based on a manufacturer's or supplier's declaration of compliance. Under this new equipment authorization procedure, a manufacturer or equipment supplier would test a product to ensure compliance with our standards for limiting radio frequency (RF) emissions and would include a statement of compliance with those standards in the literature furnished with the equipment. We are also proposing to permit personal computers to be authorized based on tests and approval of their individual components, without further testing of the completed assembly. These changes would allow manufacturers and suppliers to market new equipment without having to submit an application for equipment authorization and await FCC approval. We anticipate that these proposed rule changes would save industry approximately $250 million annually. They would also stimulate the creation of jobs and competition in the computer industry by relaxing regulations that are particularly burdensome for small manufacturers and would align the FCC equipment authorization requirements for personal computers with those used in other parts of the world.

Hi, We are a VAR as well as an ISP.

[WISPA] New WISPA Vendor Member - Vecima Networks
Waverider is back and from appearances they are on stronger footing now than they have ever been. Many of you probably remember Scott Carlson from Waverider. Scott has been a big part of the Waverider product line from my first experiences with them many years ago. Scott has remained aligned with this product through the two owners in the last couple of years. I think we will see that Vecima Networks will be the permanent home to the Waverider product line and we hope to see many new years of growth and improvement in this and other product lines through Vecima Networks. I have used Waverider products in my network for many years with good success. I am looking forward to seeing the migration to the new higher speed OFDM version of the Waverider product coming soon. Our newest WISPA Vendor Member is Vecima Networks and we welcome them to the Association. Here are a few words about Vecima Networks from Scott Carlson himself: Vecima Networks Inc. is a world-leading designer and manufacturer of broadband wireless, data-over-cable, digital video and advanced analog solutions. Vecima’s own brand name products have achieved a reputation in the marketplace for innovation, design, quality and performance. As a result many broadband industry leaders have turned to Vecima for engineering and manufacturing expertise. Vecima’s customer base includes original equipment manufacturers (OEM), system integrators and leading multiple system operators (MSO), WISPs and other service providers. Since its inception in 1988, Vecima has grown to over 620 employees and has demonstrated consistent profitable growth. Vecima offers a number of broadband wireless solutions. The BWIN product line is based on DOCSIS and is available for the 700 MHz, 1.9 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. The VistaMAX product line, is Vecima’s WiMAX based solution. VistaMAX has been launched for the 3.5 GHz band, and versions for the 5 GHz and 1.9 GHz band are due to be released later this year. In October 2006, Vecima acquired the WaveRider 900 MHz product line from Wave Wireless. Since that time Vecima has committed financial and engineering resources for the development and support of the WaveRider product line. Shortly Vecima will be launching the next-generation WaveRider system, which will be the leading 900 MHz performer in terms of throughput and capacity.

[WISPA] Nebraska WISPs - Something to look out for...
For any other Nebraska WISPs LB661 came up in the state legistlature and the gist is that broadband providers will have to pay into the USF fund. LB560 requires all broadband providers to register with the state Public Service Commission (so they know where to send the bill for LB661 to). These are not law yet, but they are racing through the telecommunications committee. Check out http://www.nebraska.gov/ for more details.

Many of you probably remember Scott Carlson from Waverider. Scott has been a big part of the Waverider product line from my first experiences with them many years ago. Scott has remained aligned with this product through the two owners in the last couple of years. I think we will see that Vecima Networks will be the permanent home to the Waverider product line and we hope to see many new years of growth and improvement in this and other product lines through Vecima Networks. I have used Waverider products in my network for many years with good success. I am looking forward to seeing the migration to the new higher speed OFDM version of the Waverider product coming soon. Our newest WISPA Vendor Member is Vecima Networks and we welcome them to the Association. Here are a few words about Vecima Networks from Scott Carlson himself: Vecima Networks Inc. is a world-leading designer and manufacturer of broadband wireless, data-over-cable, digital video and advanced analog solutions. Vecima’s own brand name products have achieved a reputation in the marketplace for innovation, design, quality and performance. As a result many broadband industry leaders have turned to Vecima for engineering and manufacturing expertise. Vecima’s customer base includes original equipment manufacturers (OEM), system integrators and leading multiple system operators (MSO), WISPs and other service providers. Since its inception in 1988, Vecima has grown to over 620 employees and has demonstrated consistent profitable growth. Vecima offers a number of broadband wireless solutions. The BWIN product line is based on DOCSIS and is available for the 700 MHz, 1.9 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. The VistaMAX product line, is Vecima’s WiMAX based solution. VistaMAX has been launched for the 3.5 GHz band, and versions for the 5 GHz and 1.9 GHz band are due to be released later this year. In October 2006, Vecima acquired the WaveRider 900 MHz product line from Wave Wireless. Since that time Vecima has committed financial and engineering resources for the development and support of the WaveRider product line. Shortly Vecima will be launching the next-generation WaveRider system, which will be the leading 900 MHz performer in terms of throughput and capacity.

Re: [WISPA] Unlimited bandwidth does not mean unlimited
HAAA I was right again! The all you can eat idea is gonna HAVE to go out the window. If Comcast can't support the model neither can any of the rest of us. We now give people 6 gigs per month. No cut offs for going over, but there is additional billing... Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)And I run my own wisp!

Re: [WISPA] Strange Symptoms
* Jack Unger wrote, On 3/12/2007 10:34 PM: Rick, Hi Jack... The signals levels sound like they may be WAY TOO HIGH for this short of a link. Receiver overload has the effect of making a receiver deaf. Try a tiny antenna (maybe a rubber duck) on the CPE and re-do the ping test. what dB level would you consider too high? We're seeing some of our 900 radios recycle and others just don't yet the signals are in the -80s and -70s. Nothing consistent.

He's seeing occasional REALLY high latency through his device (High Gain Antennas 8186hp @ 100' away from the POP) - like 900 - 5000 ms pings and some time-outs. I'm on what Mikrotik is telling me is a relatively quiet channel (3 to 5 devices at an average of -90's noise floor) and yet his network connection just flaps like crazy because of the latency. Can't run nstreme because of the devices I'd need to have connected (it's a hotspot on a rooftop) But, I'm perplexed as to why this is doing this. A drive up to the hotspot with my laptop produces the same results, as does a test from one of his other computers with a wifi card in it. Things to look for / do ?

Re: [WISPA] ot, linux for home users
Here are some ideas... http://www.codeweavers.com/products/differences/ John -Original Message- From: Marlon K. Schafer (509) 982-2181 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 9, 2007 10:47 AM To: wireless@wispa.org Subject: [WISPA] ot, linux for home users Hi All, With all the uproar I'm reading about the computing disaster known as Vista I wonder about setting up Linux machines for folks. Especially those that just want to do email and surf the net. I thought I'd set something up here and let the kids use it. I'm NO linix guy so I need something with a gui and works as closely to xp as I can. A company that'll sell tech support would be a nice addition too. Would putting Linux on mid range pc's for our average user be a disaster from a tech support standpoint? Or is there a version that'll run windows programs and has the look and feel of xp? thanks, Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)And I run my own wisp!
