Re: [WISPA] OT, roof rack
Marlon, I would go get a THULE roof rack. I have a set for my 96 Tahoe and they were previously used on a 98 Chevy Venture van. They have nice square rigid bars and the bracket method to attach uses a rubber wrap around strap system that works great. I have taken the same system and was able to quickly mount them on a Kia roof rack very quickly. They come in a nice black finish and don't detract from the vehicle looks. You can get the bars in various widths. They have all kinds of attachments for their system.

Re: [WISPA] IP3 for visitor based networks
Rogelio, From our evaluation and number of years back, The IP3 didn't do anything that we weren't already doing with standard OpenSource packages, or lower cost WISP standard gear like Mikrotik. But you hit the nail on the head on the value IP3 gives... Turn Key System. It enables the buyer to hit the ground running with a working solution, if they didn't really know how to do those type things on their own, or have the time to figure it out.

I can't image what kind of gear would require that much money. Cool, I've love to see a URL showing the features of your $900 soln. In context, the $3K was a tiny, tiny part of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that they were spending on networking hardware (Mikrotiks, BelAir, etc). Also, they were looking for turnkey, easy-to-maintain solutions on which they would a serious revenue stream would depend.

Doug Ratcliffe wrote: I mean, seriously, in the IT business, would you even believe someone if they contacted you with a $10 million dollar deal? They don't always say it like that. Often they give the areas that they need coverage and the bandwidth that they'd like for those areas to have coverage for. You then do the math of how many (and what mix of) wireless needs there needs to be, then you start calculating backhaul. Once a BOM is put together and priced, then it comes to millions of dollars. By the time it gets to this, you already have a good idea of how they're paying for it (at least, in theory...) In my experience, the person that says, I have a $x M deal is usually full of crap.

My guess is that the integrators who deal with the Africans get a certain degree of credibility, particularly if they have westerners at their beck and call to help a country figure out what it wants. In my experience, they seem to know they need something, they're not sure what that something is, and they've got real funds, they just don't know how they want to spend it and are skeptical of giving it to businesses that will not invest long term in their infrastructure / economy.

Re: [WISPA] your thoughts on opps in Africa?
We do some business there but are very careful with every transaction. Cash up front most of the time. I think that is the main theme here. Just go in understanding the many unknowns, be cautious and don't get too involved until real money can be confirmed. That being said, no one can argue that the opportunities are huge in underdeveloped economies if you can find the right partner/customer. -Jeff General Manager CTI (773) 667-4585 x2509 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Broadwick Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 4:07 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] your thoughts on opps in Africa?

Re: [WISPA] your thoughts on opps in Africa?
There is a tremendous opportunity in Africa for Wireless Broadband. It has some of the the most important factors for success... need, demand, and shortage of Options, Alternatives not cost or technically feasible You'd be amazed how much businesses will pay for Broadband out there. (I heard some stories 5-6 year backs where people were paying DS3 prices for like ISDN-T1 speeds) However, conducting business in Africa is much much different. One has to know what they are doing politically. Much easier for someone that knows and understands the local culture. I had a couple friends that did both PC exporting and Broadband there. He made a killing with PCs, not sure the outcome of the Broadband venture, to date. But, yeah... It was All Cash Business, if you wanted to get paid, and it wasn't uncommon to have to pay bribes to conduct business. Lots of custom issues/tricks, to get gear to over their cost effectively. But hey, Africa is a large diverse place, just like anywhere, it probably isn't fair to make generalizations and group everything in the same box. Jungle, desert, big cities, all have different challenges.

Exactly the same experience here. Lots of talk, long-winded network design, layout, and bidding process with numerous tweaks and revisions, and ultimately nothing. Complete waste of time for us, but I don't see what they get out of it either (?)

Re: [WISPA] your thoughts on opps in Africa?
Venezuela did something like this with their oil last year. Turned off any oil company, regardless of investment or pre existing contract and took over their operations. I think Chevron and Total got the screws. Chuck McCown - 3 wrote: Funny you should mention that... we have had equipment tribalized here too. Same thing applies.

Re: [WISPA] your thoughts on opps in Africa?
What you have to have is a waiver of sovereign immunity to have a binding contract with a tribal entity. Now if you can manage that you are doing pretty good. I'm sure larger corporations manage, but for us little guys you basically take your chances, or structure the deal as best you can.

Re: [WISPA] Tower general contractors
The number UNO issue when you deal with Crowne Castle is get an agreement up front of what all your requirements are. They took me to the cleaners. I will NEVER deal with them ever again. NEVER Quote for a Location was given $300/month. Then we agreed so they said fill out this Application. Filled it out and got a bill for $1500 (APP FEE). Project manager called and said that now that we are approved. We can proceed once the received a $2500 PO for Structural analysis. Then the salesman called back and informed the $300/month was actually $875/month. Then like you they decided my certified climbers did not meet their requirements. The would handle the install for $5000.00. Then there would be a $1000 fee for Inspection of what I put on the ground. Needless to say I did not Pay any but a $1500 Fee that they split up to supposedly cover their cost. I found an approved installer and Paid him $1500. Got them back down to $350/month by working with another renter on the same tower. Only way we got it all worked out was I had all my original Documentation from them. Do The Same. PS.

However, they want the general contractor over any work to have a 5 million dollar umbrella policy. Having a hard time finding a general with anything near that. Any recommendations in the Utah area? We're only mounting equipment around 30 feet up the tower (planned to even use a bucket truck), and putting in a little enclosure on the ground.
