[WISPA] Opinions Requested...
Good Morning Everyone and Happy Wednesday! Have any of you had the opportunity to use Xirrus wifi equipment? Specifically I'm trying to determine if it would be a good fit for some of the areas we're looking at covering. The areas are defined mostly like this: Town A Town B Town C Town D Town E Town F Either Town A or Town F will have 100 Mbps circuit to the carrier (Pop) There is anywhere from seven to fifteen miles between each of the towns. All towns have less than 100 families; some less than 50. I will have wireless PtP back hauls between all the towns. Each structure holding my PtP radios (as well as the AP(s)) for the towns is 80 to 200 feet tall, averaging about 100 feet. Where I don't have LOS between two towns, I have intermediate structures at my disposal to backhaul around or over obstructions. To me this is a perfect scenario for Nanobeams for the PtP links and CPEs, and Rockets with either a couple sectors or even an omni in the smallest of these towns. A vendor who was demo'ing PureWave solutions before I moved into this position is now wanting to demo Xirrus wifi solutions for us. Based on my understanding of how this product works, in my example above we'd require (at least) one AP (or base station as I think they are called in Xirrus Land) in each of the six towns (along with separate PtP back hauls between the six towns...unless the Xirrus APs/Base stations negate the use of PtP back hauls for this layout...? Sam's Assumption Having never seen Xirrus products, nor knowing what these units cost, it's my guess that the initial investment in equipment (just for the infrastructure - not to mention the client CPE) would be many times that of a Ubiquiti solution without much (if anything) to gain by using the more-expensive equipment. From the little bit of pricing information I was able to find online, while less-expensive than Purewave, the Xirrus stuff still seems pretty high - especially for rolling out into a town of 35 families. (And yes I'm all-too-familiar with what frequently happens when one assumes) :) /Sam's Assumption Have any of you used Xirrus wifi? If you had areas like described above, is Xirrus wifi something you would consider? Thank you all so much, Sam ___ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless

[WISPA] FCC to propose new Net Neutrality Rules
In case you missed it: http://on.wsj.com/1jC9dVR The Federal Communications Commission plans to propose new open Internet rules on Thursday that would allow content companies to pay Internet service providers for special access to consumers, according to a person familiar with the proposal. The proposed rules would prevent the service providers from blocking or discriminating against specific websites, but would allow broadband providers to give some traffic preferential treatment, so long as such arrangements are available on commercially reasonable terms for all interested content companies. Whether the terms are commercially reasonable would be decided by the FCC on a case-by-case basis. Douglas A. Hass Associate 312.786.6502 d...@franczek.com Franczek Radelet P.C.

Probably if they're charging the going rate for paid peering or if they're being raked over the coals. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Douglas A.
