Re: [WISPA] Dragonwave...
Licensed. Range depends on your location, antenna size (I have 2' and 4' antennas for this link) and level of reliability you are looking for. -B- Matt wrote: I have another Dragonwave 200 Mb AirPair 23 Ghz. link coming into my stock next week.

Re: [WISPA] Billing and CRM solutions
Wispmon will soon have a built in billing function, and it will also have an option to integrate with Quickbooks. It already does high level network monitoring/reporting, CRM, customer/sales qualification and reporting, trouble ticketing, and workorder creation/tracking/scheduling. Look for the billing to be integrated as of about April. Cameron We're trying to get freeside working for us. It's proving a bit of a wreck for us. Would I go that route again? Not at this time. Once we finally have it totally up and running maybe I'll change my mind. But right now I hate it. We've spent nearly a year typing every customer in by hand. We're less than half done (one person, 7 hours per week!). We can't search on fields like what ap each customer is on. We track the data but can't easily search on it. The call things their own code words rather than normal billing type stuff we were used to with quickbooks etc. marlon - Original Message - From: chris cooper ccoo...@intelliwave.com To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 1:07 PM Subject: [WISPA] Billing and CRM solutions I am looking for a new, off the shelf billing and CRM solution.

[WISPA] Possible way to create a free tool for 477 reporting data at the tract level
I just found this web page that talks about a free API that could be used on a web page to do address lookup/geocode as well as map to the proper census tract and/or census block. I'm not a programmer but maybe someone on the list could look at this and put together something that could be used. Ideally it would do both single and batch lookups. If there is a way to also standardize the address fields to increase the accuracy that would be a big plus. https://webgis.usc.edu/Services/Geocode/WebService/GeocoderWebService.aspx Thank You, Brian Webster WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Regulators may drop broadband line-sharing bombshell
Wouldn't it be great if there was something resembling consistent policies regarding facilities? Years ago, there was the suggestion that phone companies should be broken into 2 pieces, facilities and services. The facilities unit could sell access to the copper/fiber/cable to *any* buyer. You would have some limitations, but you would be able to freely get access to the middle/last mile. Here in the East San Francisco Bay Area, I know of the following San Ramon CA, Bishop Ranch- Time Warner has fiber at our CURB, and offers 5 Meg business grade access for $700 per month, ut Bishop Ranch won't allow Time Warner in the MPOE to pull the Glass. The fact that ATT is a few blocks away has nothing to do with it, I am sure... :-( Danville CA, customer wants Comcast Business grade Internet access. Comcast's services stop across the street from his building. Comcast wants $10,000 to go across the street. That is the same $10,000 they have wanted for better than 10 years. Walnut Creek CA, Astound pulled fiber to a clients site and gave them 5 Meg access for $700 per month. Fiber Internet Center will do 5 meg burstable to 10 meg for $1595-1695 per month through most of Northern California, and they bring the trucks and pull the fiber. They once quoted me at $7000/ month for 100 Meg over glass. I realize that it costs some pretty big $ to get glass in the ground, but why is the pricing all over the board? If there were someone that didn't need a 1 year ROI, they could be out building out fiber, and making a lot of money, but it would take 5 - 10 years to see the big $. John Matt Liotta wrote: I don't think this is good. The last time it was tried we got a bunch of unsustainable business models along with increasing gamesmanship from the ILECs. Besides, the RBOCs are looking for reasons to shutdown their wireline operations anyway. This will only speed that up. I think we need smarter policy to increase competition. How about fair and reasonable real estate access? WISPA should be all over that one. I know every business WISP has run into an unreasonable landlord. I also sure plenty of residential WISPs have had their share of landlord problems. -Matt On Feb 16, 2010, at 2:57 PM, Scottie Arnett wrote: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/02/regulators-may-drop-broadband-line-sharing-bombshell.ars?utm_source=rssutm_medium=rssutm_campaign=rss Could be good?

Re: [WISPA] [WISPA Members] [Motorola II] WISP's are killing themselves!!!!- New FCC form 477 report is out, not looking good for Fixed Wireless
Which is probably why my state just started their own required bi-annual broadband filing report. The preferred method was census BLOCK, luckily that was optional and tract was acceptable. Hopefully it stays that way! I spent over 30 man hours (much of it after hours, and with Brian's help) getting the tract data / correct format the first time, but since we are now maintaining it I have already completed the March 1 FCC filing - took less than 1 hour! I refuse to let my brain contemplate starting from scratch again to get block level data. Nope. Not happening. Forget it. No way, (You know we're gonna have to eventually!!)

As I recall you were one of the cheerleaders on that topic). The WISP's were the ones insisting that that option be available before they would file. Now the same industry it bitching about the fact that the data is not being distributed...can't have it both ways.

(same with solar and wind power ... technology, manufacturing, and deployment) 2) Does anyone really believe this is about high speed pipes for telemedicine, or kids doing their homework? What is the national security issue with making sure every house is wired for 4 simultaneous streams of on-demand high definition 3D entertainment? Are we afraid of falling behind the Chinese in the couch potato race? 3) This is a census year. Why is the census not being used to get this data directly from end users? Think of the questions you could ask, not just about what speeds people have, but why they don't have higher speeds. (unavailable? too expensive? not needed? don't even have a computer? only use the Internet for texting and tweeting from their cellphone?) 4) Any other statistical survey would correct for known measurement errors. For example, by checking a sample of the data against independently obtained data known to be accurate. Or correcting for known measurement inaccuracies. Like if you know that only 10% of Amish households have phones while 90% of the general population does, you might want to multiply the Amish responses in a phone survey by 9. So if they know only 50% of WISPs are submitting Form 477, wouldn't it make sense to multiply the numbers by 2? It wouldn't be perfect, but it would be more accurate than making decisions based on clearly wrong data. 5) Why is a fortune in stimulus money being handed out in state mapping grants, for a one-time measurement, and for results that won't be available in time for the broadband plan next month? 6) Why is no one cross referencing Form 477 data to state mapping projects? I look at the Connect Illinois
