[WISPA] MikroTik Hardware
Guys, I'm looking for a solid state, rack mountable hardware to run MikroTik OS on. I need the device to be able to handle around 200 MB of actual throughput. We use quite a few of the RB532s today and seem to cap out around 40MB or so. We have tried a few of the PC based platforms using Intel 915 boards and the gig RB PCI cards. When testing with these, we do get minor packet loss that we do not get on the 532s or our Cisco routers. Any suggestions?

Re: [WISPA] Interesting RUS info
All, I decided to dig deeper into the new RUS Proposed Rule changes and think this is something we should all read and comment on since this affects all of us. Follow the link for more info on how to comment and read the document in question. http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=DocumentDetaild=RUS-06-Agency-0052-0001 Regards, Dawn DiPietro Look and see who is moving into your community: http://broadbandsearch.sc.egov.usda.gov/SearchTabs.aspx The interesting text is located here: http://www.usda.gov/rus/telecom/broadband-search.htm Special Note to Potential Loan Applicants: Potential applicants should note that Rural Development cannot provide funding to another entity for communities associated with approved applications and that communities associated with pending applications are restricted until a lending decision is reached on the pending application. In addition, Rural Development cannot provide funding to an additional entity for towns where the Agency has an active Telecom borrower providing broadband service. For active Telecom borrowers see: http://www.usda.gov/rus/telecom http://www.usda.gov/rus/telecom/index.htm . This locks me out of getting funding from RUS for towns that have already been claimed by RUS loan applicants.. So much for competition?! Does this lock you out of competition as well? ryan -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

RE: [WISPA] MikroTik Hardware
The issue you are seeing with minor packet loss may be due to the RB44G cards. I know they initially had issues, but I haven't personally had the time to test the RB44G again since my post on the MT forum back in March. http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2t=14316hilit= If you need GigE Interfaces for your Intel based MT router I would suggest sticking with Intel NICs. We have many, many Intel MF and Intel MT NICs in production with great success. Sure beats the Hell out of paying $1000 - $1500+ per GigE fiber NIC from Imagestream! We use an Evercase 4U chassis and for the past several months are including redundant hot-swap power supplies for an additional $200-$300. BTW, what Intel motherboard are you using? Unfortunately not all motherboards are created equal when it comes to building a MT router!

Re: [WISPA] MikroTik Hardware
Use a systemboard that has built-in GigE ports. The RB PCI card may be your problem, as I have two very stable PC platform boxes with dual GigE ports that will push over 600Mbps without a problem.

RE: [WISPA] Free Standing Towers
The tower, with stamped engineering drawings was roughly $20,000. I bet you can put it up for around $10,000 if you do it yourself. If you pay someone, it would cost $20,000-30,000.

It is similar to a Rohn SSV, but I got better wind-loading compared to any of the others. Mine has a 3 1/2' face at the top, and can withstand about 110ft^2 of surface area. I would definitely recommend it. I was a bit leery of the hollow legs. Hollow towers rust from the inside out, and you can't usually tell until it is too late. This is electro-galvanized, so it is plated well. Only time will tell. I can send pictures if you would like.

I need to be able to choose between 150' and 190' and it needs to be able to handle your typical WISP needs. I already know about the Trylon SuperTitan and while they seem to serve the purpose, they are really hard to maneuver around on when you get to the top. What are you guys using for free-standing towers at these heights?
