Re: [WISPA] Looking for 900 MHz pioneers

2010-06-15 Thread Jeremie Chism
I have also seen improvements during periods of rain and fog. Not sure  
why but it is noticable. Signal even seems to be stronger during rain.

I am in a very congested area and have 900 MHz delivering 1.5/1 to  
police cars working in a place that has scada and other noise in a  
very close proximity to my ap's. But doing this I learned a lot about  
what works and what doesn't.

Been using 900 with variable success for about 4 years now.   Started with 
SR-9's and now have XR9 / STar-OS gear deployed.   Love it.   It's almost as

fast as 5 gig, for a given channel size, and is incredibly better at tree
penetration than is 2.4 or 5 gig.

It has limited application, due to noise being so prevalent, but where it's
appropriate,  it easily delivers 2x2meg to the customer @ 10 customers / 5 
mhz AP with capacity to spare.It's freaky picky, with environment 
changes like rain, humidity, snow, fog, etc.Rain, snow, fog, ice all 
IMPROVE forest penetration.

Longest production use is customers @ 6 miles.

Otherwise, it's normally deployed in dense forest and limited to about 1
mile or 2 if you have plenty of open space,  not dense forest.

Noise?   There's oodles of noise generators out there, often making up to 
1/2 the band unusable, even in rural areas.

Been using 900 with variable success for about 4 years now.   Started with 
SR-9's and now have XR9 / STar-OS gear deployed.   Love it.   It's almost as

fast as 5 gig, for a given channel size, and is incredibly better at tree
penetration than is 2.4 or 5 gig.

It has limited application, due to noise being so prevalent, but where it's
appropriate,  it easily delivers 2x2meg to the customer @ 10 customers / 5 
mhz AP with capacity to spare.It's freaky picky, with environment 
changes like rain, humidity, snow, fog, etc.Rain, snow, fog, ice all 
IMPROVE forest penetration.

Longest production use is customers @ 6 miles.

Otherwise, it's normally deployed in dense forest and limited to about 1
mile or 2 if you have plenty of open space,  not dense forest.

Noise?   There's oodles of noise generators out there, often making up to 
1/2 the band unusable, even in rural areas.

We use them as an AP antenna, connecting to client devices that are located 
close to each other, but miles from the AP. They work really well in that

Re: [WISPA] Looking to Sell..........

2010-06-15 Thread MDK
I'm real happy with the 23 db panels from Arc Wireless.   Slightly better 
RSSI than a 25 db PacW grid.

Not expensive, but the mounts are kinda hokey.

 I doubt it. "New" equivellent class or better 2.4 CPEs at near that 
 gain
 (alternate brands), are going for as low as $80 now adays. Maybe even
 less.
 Why buy old/used Wifi?
 Atleast not in 2.4G, that have so many vendor options, new and used.

 Good luck with liquidating, but I'd side with Chuck, that you'd be 
 lucky

 get $50, on the high side.

Re: [WISPA] Looking for 900 MHz pioneers

2010-06-15 Thread MDK
Been using 900 with variable success for about 4 years now.   Started with 
SR-9's and now have XR9 / STar-OS gear deployed.   Love it.   It's almost as 
fast as 5 gig, for a given channel size, and is incredibly better at tree 
penetration than is 2.4 or 5 gig.

It has limited application, due to noise being so prevalent, but where it's 
appropriate,  it easily delivers 2x2meg to the customer @ 10 customers / 5 
mhz AP with capacity to spare.It's freaky picky, with environment 
changes like rain, humidity, snow, fog, etc.Rain, snow, fog, ice all 
IMPROVE forest penetration.

Longest production use is customers @ 6 miles.

Otherwise, it's normally deployed in dense forest and limited to about 1 
mile or 2 if you have plenty of open space,  not dense forest.

Noise?   There's oodles of noise generators out there, often making up to 
1/2 the band unusable, even in rural areas.

Re: [WISPA] Is this a record of some kind?

2010-06-15 Thread MDK

I found a spreadsheet online that let you calculate the slots and positions, 
and designed my own radiating element.

Never had the money to do that kind of testing, but our seat of the pants 
"best guess" is about 18-19 db.   I  redid the radiating element a few 
times, finding it was poorly tuned when moving up or down the frequency 
range tended to kill the gain (rssi).

My most distant client has been in excess of 29 miles.

currently ,ti's about 26 or so now.

Nope, never had any real interference issues, and I'm definitely not over

Z-Com GZ-901 card.

I have been meaning to experiment with the card that comes in a Tranzeo 
radio to see if it will work as well (I assume it will).

Right now, it seems like the MT AP has improved the latency by about 
50%, and it is very nice to have queues, radius authentication, routing 
and a dhcp server in the AP.   It is not the cure all that I was hoping 
for, however.

I might try to swap out a few Tranzeos to MT CPE with Nstreme running to 
see if that fixes some of the latency issues we keep coming across with 
900mhz.   The occasional 1 second ping times are not a lot of fun.

That explains why the signal level never showed a decent change. They

Maybe it took longer for my vendor to start shipping the mounts? I
have only used the 26 and 29db units and they are spot on to

miss aimed and/or the radios natural variance. Once in, they

If you really want to get serious on 2.4 use one of these:

which totally blow away anything else we've tried.

The metal cap adds a whooping 1.2dB really not worth bothering with IMO.
Only reason they provide it is because people where used to the Andrew dish
that basically requires it the Andrew dishs suffers greatly without the
metal cap.

For some time now the bigger Pac (Laird) grids all are shipping with a much
more heavy duty L bracket then the old ones.
I had a FCC certification lab test out one of the 24dB's about 2 years back
and according to them the unit did measure in very close to 24dB.

The linked feedhorn and grid is a Pac 5GHz grid so if used on 2.4GHz I'm
amazed that you get the gain out of the solution consider the feed is NOT
designed for 2.4GHz.

Re: [WISPA] Is this a record of some kind?

2010-06-15 Thread Cameron Crum
I'd like to take credit for all of it, but my partner who has been designing
antennas of one kind or another for more than 50 years now actually came up
with the optimized slot pattern. I took that, had it machined, and then
optimized the feed position and length so we didn't have to use tuning
screws to get it right. The whole thing was adapted form an array of slotted
waveguides that he designed as part of the ILS system for airplanes. He's
one smart cookie. I've learned more from him than I ever learned in
engineering school.

Re: [WISPA] Apex firmware upgrade problem

2010-06-15 Thread Nick Olsen
We figured it out, tftp was on, no firewalls.. etc.. Not our first rodeo 
:)
Was windows 7 64bit. Just so happens that both me and scott run win 7 64 
bit so we both had the same problem. Then for fun tried a windows server 
2003 box and all was well. This server 2003 box sits in the same network as 
scotts computer.

As Travis said make sure you've issued the "tftpd on" command, but also 
make
sure your router isn't blocking or firewalling the traffic from reaching 
the
radios.  Do your radios have a valid ipconfig with a good gateway?

Best,

Brad

MikroTik AP with Tranzeo CPE... on 900MHz??!?!??!

What radio card in the MikroTik AP?

Matt Larsen - Lists wrote:

  I don't use Tranzeos for APs - except for 900mhz and they will soon be 
replaced with Mikrotik, which seems to work well with Tranzeo 900mhz CPEs.

Save some of your blowing up anger for some Smartbridges stuff.   I have 
a few of those that I'd love to drop from a tower.

Anyone who has Tranzeo CPQ15, CPQ19, SL2-15, SL2N, SL5 or TR5a radios
for sale, please contact me.   We are switching to 10mhz channels and I
have about 500 or so of the older CPE200 and CPE80 radios to switch out.

I've been buying a lot of NS2/NS5 and Bullet2/Bullet5, but it is a lot
easier to switch to a Tranzeo when the customer already has a Tranzeo,
and there are quite a few situations where a Tranzeo works better than a
Ubiquiti radio.

I doubt it.  "New" equivellent class or better 2.4 CPEs at near that gain
(alternate brands), are going for as low as $80 now adays. Maybe even
less.
Why buy old/used Wifi?
Atleast not in 2.4G, that have so many vendor options, new and used.

Good luck with liquidating, but I'd side with Chuck, that you'd be lucky
to
get $50, on the high side.

I use HyperLink 2.4GHz grids.

I've used them for about 10 years now.  Tried several other types, but
never get the performance or durability...

Marlon K. Schafer wrote:

  Those are 5 gig.  I decided NOT to go the cheap route on any 5 gig systems 
out here.

I'm looking for 2.4 gig grids that are of good/great quality.

I've been paying around $100 for a 24dB grid and it doesn't bother me a 
bit.

Here's a tip for you guys that go dirt cheap on everything and then complain 
about the time you spend.

My network is now bigger than the entire state of Connecticut.  We have over 
600 wireless subs and a couple of hundred other customers.  I take care of 
it all with the equivalent of 2.5 people!

Don't go too cheap.  It'll cost you time and reputation in the end.

Those have a very heavy mount and the expected gain. The ones with the
cheap metal clip on can go right up the designers back side. Seriously
poor design on those. I have replaced most of the feeds with the same
feeds as the linked one.

They are heavy and have flimsy mounts. And they seem to have 2 to 3 dB

I've always spent the money to buy the Andrew (or whatever they are this

product?
