[WISPA] IMPROVING INTERNET ACCESS TO HELP SMALL BUSINESS COMPETE IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY

2007-09-26 Thread Jack Unger 
I think these September 26, 2007 comments of FCC Commissioner Michael 
Copps have relevance for WISPs:

RE: [WISPA] tower site monitoring help

Take a close look at the site for the RMS.

IIRC the creators of the RMS had just this issue and they overcame it.


Thanks!

Does anyone know if the RMS2 is programmable?  We would like to put 
something like it at one of our remote sites.  At that site we sometimes 
have a problem with the backup generator not starting on the first try. 
  Would it be possible for the RMS2 to watch for the signal to start the 
generator, trigger a relay to start it and then watch for a signal from 
the generator that says it's running?  Then if it doesn't receive that 
signal within about a minute, it should send a notification and try 
again until it does start correctly.  Since the RMS2 runs Linux, it 
seems like we should be able to write a program to handle this.  Does 
the RMS2 allow homebrew programs to access it's inputs and outputs like 
that?

This is not an official endorsement in any way. (Views of the author do
not necessarily reflect those of management...) 

In my past life I used a bunch of these units in our co-located pops and
offices. Not sure what they cost now that APC bought them. But they are
quite reliable and the camera is a nice touch. Enjoy!

Hello:

Ubiquiti announced the release of the XR9.  I can tell you from personal
experience in our beta testing phase with Ubiquiti that these cards do
perform better than the SR9.  However, they are not cross-compatible
with
the SR9.  Ubiquiti's announcement is below:

Introducing the first carrier class modular radio for the 900MHz
unlicensed
band. The XR9 utilizes an advanced noise immunity radio architecture
developed by Ubiquiti RF engineers through their customer interactions
and
field testing over the past two years.

The XR9 enables links at speeds and distances never before seen in a
900MHz
radio and is designed to operate in the harshest of environmental and
noise
conditions where other 900MHz have
solutions failed.

[WISPA] Comparison between Redline and Orthogon (Motorola OFDM)

2007-09-26 Thread Javier Arigita 
We have some customers interested on long distance PTP links (>75km).
Some of them use Redline. I would like to know if you have any
comparison between Motorola OFDM and Redline AN-30 and AN-80 ptp
links?. We are very interested mainly on stability, throughput,
latency and quality of the link in general.

I would appreciate any comments related with your experience with both
solutions very much.

Many Thanks,

Javier
