 It's not just Comcast, TW, Cox are also taking advantage of the simplicity
 of the newer 7781-CM Access Point.   They are offering free wifi to
 existing clients for retention.  Down the road cellular offloading

  One good thing about the higher bands and the noise floor is that
  free space loss works to your advantage. That being that a 5 GHz
  indoor Omni home AP router signal will fall off as an interference
  source as a much shorter distance than a 2.4 GHz device will. The
  laws of physics work in your favor.

  Hard to tell, noise floor is noise floor which keeps creeping up -
  we all know things work better when its quiet.  This used to worry
  me a lot when I saw it coming, but then I realized it was already
  there and I had no idea until I just happened to scan on some radios
  (I don't usually install the stuff).  I'm not worried any more, if
  its not one thing it will be another any way.  Thats what gives us
  the edge every day, flexibility.  We will work around it, we always
 do.
 
  I figure a high gain antenna on a tower with a good directional CPE
  will continue to work fine.  Their omni low gain antenna can't
  compete with a 20-30db directional one.  Still sucks though, you
  drive down the street and see one after another running 5Ghz just
  knowing there probably isn't 3 connections in the whole city to
 them

Re: [WISPA] Dielectric Grease

2013-11-16 Thread Erik Anderson

  
  
In a dusty (or bug ridden) location,
  dielectric on cat-5 can save you truck rolls. Often the problem
  does not occur for about two years, but dielectric does seem to
  keep the grit out of the connection.
  
  Moisture causing corrosion? I have not had many of those problems
  either with or without dielectric unless equipment was installed
  in a really poor location. 
  
  That said, having a problem at the radio itself is a rarity.
  Having the problem at a surge is much more likely. At the radio,
  ants are the most common culprit for high CRCs, and even that does
  not happen very often.

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Orbit closing. Interested in new portal provider

2013-11-16 Thread John Scrivner
Perhaps you could contact them to see about acquiring their business? Do
you have contact information for them?

 We've been using Wireless Orbit for our captive portal AAA and payments for
 years.
 Now they drop the bombshell that they will be closing in 2 weeks.

 Who is using something they can recommend?

 Requirements:

 Work with Mikrotik hotspot.
 Handles multiple locations, all different with different rules, settings,
 login pages, etc.
 Handles various payment plans and time limits.
 Supports Authorize.net
 Preferably has a flat cost, not a percentage like many of them do.

 Nice to haves:
 Can support auto login by MAC
 Allows users to associate browserless devices with their account.
 Aggregates simultaneous usage against the maximum set bandwidth (ie. If
 limit is 6 Mbps down and they have 4 devices running, each device can't use
 all 6 Mbps simultaneously.)

 MT User Manager is not an option- doesn't do multiple portals
 Not sure if the one Butch Evans sells will do it, I think the portals take
 custom code by the author to implement/change, but I am open to looking.

 Thanks
