[WISPA] Hartford CT
http://hartfordbusiness.com/news2485.html Part of it is kind of interesting - as soon as the city announced the $20.00 a month fee, the commercial providers dropped their prices to compete - so the city uses tax dollars to provide the service for free, which will do nothing but hurt the commercial providers. Put the commercial providers out of business, you get no tax revenue. So at that point, they can charge whatever they want for access, they will have used tax dollars to drive the competition away.

RE: [WISPA] Leasing 2.3 or 2.5 GHz Licensed Spectrum
We do, and have been commercially selling 802.16e (mobile-ready WiMAX) - called BreezeMAX 2300 and BreezeMAX 2500 all through this year. In the licensed pmp space, especially for .16e systems, the answer of average cost of AP and CPE is not so simple. There are many types of CPE and there really is no AP. You have complex base station infrastructures in these bands, with multiple levels of diversity. Maybe a very rough number for a fixed/nomadic type base station (360 degrees) might be around $40k. For fixed outdoor CPE, use the numbers you are used to today for quality CPE. For indoor self-install CPE SIM-card based, bought at a retail outlet or mailed by the operator), a rough number might be $250ish today driving lower. PCMCIA cards are around the corner and will be obviously much cheaper. Embedded devices, starting with laptops, are maybe less than a year away for early versions. Embedded consumer devices will come as early as late 2008 and will be produced in decent volumes by 2010. Base stations to support the mobile personal broadband devices will be require the addition of tons of things, like ASN gateways, AAA servers, etc. Patrick Alvarion -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scottie Arnett Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 11:08 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: [WISPA] Leasing 2.3 or 2.5 GHz Licensed Spectrum Who makes equipment for this band and what is the average cost of AP and CPE? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Langeler Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 12:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Leasing 2.3 or 2.5 GHz Licensed Spectrum Why take it to the member list?

[WISPA] speedtest
Hi, I recently found a very cool, fairly accurate web-based speed test program. You can get a trial version off their website at speedtest.net. It's Flash based (on the client side only) and runs very well under linux and apache. The catch is they want $400 PER YEAR for this program. Has anyone seen something similiar for less (or even a one-time cost)? We have two other free ones (a Java based one) and another that does download only already installed... but this Flash one seems to be the most accurate, and also does upload tests. thanks, Travis Microserv Join us at the WISPA Reception at 6:30 PM on October the 16th 2007 at ISPCON ** ISPCON Fall 2007 - October 16-18 - San Jose, CA www.ispcon.com ** ** THE INTERNET INDUSTRY EVENT ** ** FREE Exhibits and Events Pass available til August 31 ** WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] speedtest
Travis, Yea, we actually host one of their public speedtest.net sites (Grand Forks ND), the only requirement from them is you have at least 40 mb upload. The most popular locations see a max of 10 mb/s usage, in bursts. You can also get some interesting reporting (IPs and speeds) from them when you host a site for them. With hosting their public one, its free. Ryan On Wed, 2007-08-22 at 14:19 -0600, Travis Johnson wrote: Hi, I recently found a very cool, fairly accurate web-based speed test program.

RE: [WISPA] Leasing 2.3 or 2.5 GHz Licensed Spectrum
That's a very simple process Scottie, which is achieved using the FCC Web site. From the home page of www.fcc.gov, go to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau area (choice on the right, scrolled down a tad), then go to License Search (also a choice on the right). Specifically, go here: http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp On this page I prefer using the Specialized search category. Pick one and fill in as few fields as you want. Enter more fields to narrow, etc. This will pull up records and each of those records allows you to drill down further to get maps, contact info, etc. - Patrick Alvarion -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scottie Arnett Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 1:56 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: [WISPA] Leasing 2.3 or 2.5 GHz Licensed Spectrum How can I find out who owns it in my area...I think the school system still has it, but not sure. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Leary Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 3:28 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: RE: [WISPA] Leasing 2.3 or 2.5 GHz Licensed Spectrum Scottie, If you think the base station is expensive, then you'd pass out knowing how much it'd cost you to get access to just 12 MHz of either set of spectrum even in a rural market.

RE: [WISPA] Leasing 2.3 or 2.5 GHz Licensed Spectrum
The band generally called 2.5 refers to an almost 200 MHz collection of spectrum divided up about 60% as non-profit EBS (educational broadband service) spectrum and 40% commercially auctioned BRS (broadband radio service) spectrum. These were formerly called ITFS (instructional fixed television service) and MMDS (multimedia distribution service). The original allocation was for one-way cable, but over the past years the band has been re-configured for broadband service. In any one area a variety of commercial and non-profits have various channels. The FCC allows the non-profits (including the schools you refer to) to sublet the spectrum to commercial operators. The 2.3 range is called WCS (wireless communications services) and is different than the 2.5, both in terms of typical available channel sizes and technical rules. BellSouth, as part of the ATT acquisition thereof, was required by the feds to sell its stake in the commercial 2.5 GHz bands (principally around Florida and New Orleans). Clearwire bought these assets for $300 million a few months back. - Patrick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scottie Arnett Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 2:52 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: [WISPA] Leasing 2.3 or 2.5 GHz Licensed Spectrum It looks as though BellSouth and Nextel have the 2.3 and Nextel has the 2.5.
