Re: [WISPA] star os config help- clarifying my message
I really don't get how V3 is difficult to figure out. Before I was doing this, I was dragging phone/data cables for the AF. Before that I ran a Husqvarna for a logging company. Before that, I worked on a small ranch. I'm a pretty common sence kind of guy and don't like things that don't work right or are setup wrong. I'm about the farthest thing from the typical Admin guy there is, but somehow through my country way of thinking I figured out V3. Then I figured out how to subnet and route. I got tossed into this wireless stuff with absolutely no idea of what I was doing, but I figured that out too. The interface is actually really nice. I have a customer right now that has a bad radio card. Their latency is about 300ms and about 40% packet loss. I can still log into their radio and fly through the settings just like nothing is wrong. Try that with a web based gui. The reason we got away from Tranzeo is because, they don't work well. In the face of interference, of any little bit, they folded like a lawn chair. Granted this was back in the TR-CPE days, not sure about the new stuff, and don't really care. But we were swapping them out left and right with any WAR board we could find and lovin' every minute of it. I remember my techs telling me how much better this new equipment was compared to the Tranzeos, and these guys were green horns not veterans. They didn't have a set way of thinking which made the transition really easy for them. You don't have to be a geek to figure out V3, just a little free time and internet access.

Re: [WISPA] outdoor CAT5
I spoke with Shireen (Soe Zarni) about the issue we have been having with the poor quality of their reel boxes. Soe told me that they had a shipment that had been unloaded during a heavy rain and that many of their boxes of cable got wet. Soe felt that this is was the cause of my recent problems with their cable boxes falling apart and wanted an opportunity to send me a good box of cable for me to test out. We found no problems with the last box of cable we ordered from them and am very pleased that this issue appears to simply be due to water damage. We do hope that they recognize this as a potential problem in the future and make changes accordingly, but with their excellent service we have no reason to believe otherwise and will continue purchasing Cat5 cable from them. It's also worth noting that Soe offered us credits/discounts for the trouble. We appreciate Shireen's ongoing excellence in customer service and look forward to doing business with them in the future. It was very clear to me that Shireen was/is serious about their customer's satisfaction. Thank You, Soe!!

Re: [WISPA] Our First WISP Consultant Vendor Member - Butch Evans
I would disagree with that. Further, I would say that most of the folks using an MT/StarOS system would tell you that price had little or nothing to do with their decision. There are plenty of solutions available that are just as cheap as building your own, perhaps cheaper - all things considered. On 4/1/07, Travis Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: And then the issue becomes how much that vendor is going to mark-up the product, in addition to the FCC cert costs for all their time, efforts, etc. Isn't the reason most people are using MT is because of the cost?

Re: [WISPA] SmartPhone Happiness...
Matt, Have you had a chance to play with SSH utilities. I'm looking for the same phone and have heard others using it to SSH into their Star-OS boxes with good success. Mobile SSH has a free trial and should work with the E70. On 1/22/07, Matt Larsen - Lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It was finally time to replace my Nokia 6800 with 600 hours and a broken screen from being dropped too many times, so I decided to get a Nokia E70 phone. It has been a little bit of a challenge, but it is pretty close to cell phone nirvana. It has been able to do I have wanted to accomplish with a PDA or cell phone combined. The first main issue was getting the phone contacts/calendar/notes synchronized with my PC. My previous phone was extremely flaky when used with the Nokia PC Suite software, and only connected about one in every 10 times. I had to install, reinstall, run a registry cleaner and then reinstall the software but I was finally able to get a reliable connection between my PC and phone. Once accomplished, I was able to get all of my items synced up in a repeatable, reliable fashion. With all their available resources, I am amazed that Nokia was not able to this process worked out better. The second item was seeing how Internet access worked on the phone. GPRS seems to work fine, but I was more interested in the wifi connectivity feature of the phone. The E70 will browse for an available access point and the process for connecting is pretty straightforward. I have to pass on huge props for the Internet browser on the E70. I would prefer using the smaller screen E70 browser than the browser on all of the PocketPCs that I have used. It is that good. It was reliable, viewable, easy to navigate and there have been no weird format surprises. All told - the Internet access components work very well. I have not gotten the instant messaging to work yet, but it looks like other have, so I will still have that to work on. The last and most interesting piece was the struggle to get VOIP working on a cell phone. My cell coverage at my house and many other places in my service area is very spotty, so I have been looking forward to having a phone that could roam to wifi and keep my roaming minutes down to a minimum. I was able to find a couple of links to guides on how to set the phone up with an asterisk voip server and was finally able to get it to connect to my office voip phone system. After all the hassles and reported problems on user forums, I was very pleasantly surprised by the performance of the voip part of the E70. It is actually clearer than regular cell calls, with just a little bit of breakup when the wifi signal gets low. Best of all, my outgoing calls all go through my office system when I am in range of a wifi access point, meaning less minutes on my cell phone plan. I should also be able to use the voip when I go to remote tower sites that used to not work at all on the regular cell network or incurred roaming charges.

We got it there, link established and was working on aiming the antenna when the laptop ran out of power. The power plug on the laptop PSU had broken and, well... we were dead.

StarOS with WAR boards. Depending on the speed you need and your budget, you could go with either the WAR2 or WAR4 boards. This platform gives you great flexibility being able to use 900MHz, 2.4 and 5GHz. WAR2 - dual ethernet, dual radio (mpci), 266MHz CPU WAR4 - dual ethernet, quad radio (mpci), 533MHz CPU so your setup would be NOC POPOffice WAR WAR WAR 3 radios instead of 4. www.star-os.com On 12/11/06, Carlos A.

Although, under the rules changes from 2005 it's pretty hard to be out of certification these days. Power levels, that's a whole nother issue though. Gotta pay attention to them! 5 - What does it mean to have a certified system in the first place? mks: It means that ALL of your radio gear, clear down to the cable level, has made it past the FCC and is certified to work within certain parameters. Note: I did NOT say work as advertized :-). 8 - Don't the revised rules allow me to make the choice about what base station antennas I wish to use? mks: Yes. 3 - How is 3650 coming along and how do it look like it will shape up? mks: Great question. I sure wish I could get something out of the FCC. Sinces it's an issue on the table at this time they won't talk to me. Will they change the rules that they put out for us last year? I hope not. 1 - Does the FCC really read comments I file on anything? mks: Yes. Even the late filings. 3 How important (and difficult) is it for me to officially voice my comments? mks: Within WISPA it's easy. When we find out about issues that mater to the industry we file on the issue. We also point out EXACTLY how our membership can also file on the issue. EVERYTHING that the FCC does, rules wise, comes from the written reccord. If you don't voice your thoughts they CAN'T legally act on them. And it has to be in writing, you can't just call in and tell them what you want them to do. 3 - What the deal with the TV bands? mks: I'm loosing hope on this one. The broadcasters are very powerful. And they seem to be willing to pull out all of the stops on this. Clear down to a 60 Minutes exploding gas tank version of the truth. And because we, as an industry, aren't good at filling out our 477s we're not even give pimple on the but status these days. The current chairman at the FCC has turned out to be far less of a fan of the entrepenure than Powell was and that's not gonna help either. 1+ - Are there realistic options for WISPs to get licensed bands? mks: Not at this time. I know people have done so. But lets look at the real numbers here. Last I heard the latest auction raised 14 billion dollars. Lets say that over the next 5 years that spectrum services, oh, 500,000 subscribers. That's 28,000 per subscriber! At a profit of $10 per broadband subscriber per month that gives us a 2,800 month payback on the investment. Heck, get 1,000,000 subs and it's still not gonna add up to anything but another huge dent in the broadband rollout. Auctions only do two things. They put money

RE: [WISPA] Lightning hits
I really don't think it's going to make a difference. If it's pulling in that much energy through the antenna, it's got to go somewhere, and the only place it can go is through your pigtail strait to the radio. If the radio isn't properly grounded to the tower, and the tower properly grounded to well, the ground, something is going to get smoked. I don't THINK it's going to matter much if the power is on or not. But hey, it's worth a shot. It sure won't hurt to try. One of our 50' towers has a big ham yagi antenna on the top of it. The home owner said that his yagi was pulling in so much static he could hear it arcing from across the room. It was arcing from the connector on the end of the cable to a nail that was driven into a 2X4 stud. There wasn't a cloud in the sky at that time either. That's some crazy stuff.

RE: [WISPA] Tranzeo WDS capacity, Mikrotik - problems
The idea is to not do the install unless you can maintain a reliable 11mb connection (usually -75 or better) that passes the 0% loss rule. So, having done that, you shouldn't drop customers.

Harmful noise, as you probably know, can come from all sorts of devices, not just 802.x APs. Yes, -90 is bad for several reasons. 1. That link is probably suffering from high packet loss. This will not only cause problems for the customer's link, but will keep your AP busy resending dropped packets. One customer isn't going to overload an AP, but several could. 2. -90 doesn't leave much room for fade. Bad weather could, and most likely will, knock this link out in a heart beat. 3. The rate at which the client and AP talk at a -90 would be 1MB. Whenever the AP is talking to the client it will have to adjust its rate to match that of the client's. When another client, let's say it's connected at an 11mb rate, wants to talk the AP has to adjust its rate to 11mb, these constant adjustments can cause latency, dropped packets, and overload the CPU on the AP. This is more evident with the more clients you have. Always set your AP rate to auto, hard set all clients to 11MB. Just make sure you don't do the install unless it will support an 11MB rate. Lastly, I would suggest that you test each and every link for packet loss sending large packets, 0% or less and you'll be good to go. I could be way off; your -90 client may be working perfectly.

Looking for your input So VoIP over wireless is a very important topic to us at Alvarion right now. Increasing we are being told by new customers that much of their equipment choice is or will be based on the ability to offer true double play in scale. Essentially, they say the need to offer bundled services is a must, not an option, in order to remain competitive going forward. I am interested to hear listers inputs on the subject. Some questions I have: 1. Is VoIP part of your plans? Yes, to some degree. All new equipment going into production in our infrastructure has to be able to prioritize traffic. This is simply a network design decision to ensure we are able to offer those types of products when/if we decide to do it. I definitely believe we will see more and more VoIP traffic on our network so it is a good idea no matter what. 2. Do you believe VoIP is a viable offering for a WISP? Yes 3. What type revenue contribution in terms of additional ARPU do you think VoIP can add? I'm not sure, in our market VoIP has not become that Hot of an item. Sure, some folks are getting Vonage and I actually had my fist phone call the other day inquiring if we offered phone service!! The most common action here is that folks are ditching the phone company all together and using their mobile phones as their primary voice service. 4. If you will or are doing VoIP as a service, will/are you leveraging third parties? If so, who do like? I have to admit, it is appealing to take the 3rd party route. Not sure who we would be looking to for that service. 5. Would VoIP be offered to your commercial customers, residential or both? For sure resi, possibly commercial later on. 6. If you are obtaining your own switch, what brands are in your top 3? I'm not sure, we are fairly new to the WISP world and have focused on the access side of things. 7. Does VoIP capability drive any of your wireless equipment decision making? Absolutely, I like being prepared. 8. If you are doing now, could you architect out how you do it and what adjustment it forced in terms of capacity planning on your wireless network? Not there yet. Any other comments or issues on the subject would be welcome. For now, I see VoIP more as a customer retention plan than anything else. Additional revenue is nice, and getting the most out of our links is even better, but I'm not sure that we are prepared to take on the added headache technically, legally, and/or financially.

RE: [WISPA] How do you market your WISP
Great Topic, this is something I have been working hard at lately and would be interested in everyones input as well. Here are some of the ways we have advertised our service. Yards signs This is my favorite. In the areas that we KNOW qualify for service, Yard Signs is a great way for us to directly market our service to potential customers. For one we know we can get them service, so there is no need to do site surveys. We can schedule that persons install right away, which makes a good impression when the customer calls. The other thing that we love about yard signs, they are a constant reminder to those passing by of what we are offering. Door Hangers Door Hangers is about as direct as you can get, which I am all for, but we havent had any real success using them. I imagine they get lost in the credit card apps and end up in the trash after a quick glance. The return WE have gotten off of Yard Signs is not worth the paper they were printed on, not to mention all the extra work walking around, and the risk of getting mauled by neighborhood dogs. Spamming About every quarter we spam our current Dial-Up and DSL customers in hopes to convert those to Wireless. It is an inexpensive way of getting the word out. I dont have any real numbers to quote on our success with that, but it really doesnt matter because its free. Company Web Site I dont have the percentages, but I always make a point of asking customers where they heard about us. Believe it or not, I have had a bunch of new installs because of our website add. Working with your Partners As you grow, you start to get an idea of how to take advantage of every opportunity, or at least I have. For example, in our last lease contract with the Water Company, we offered them a set monthly lease rate ($100), and on top of that we agreed to pay them $1 extra for every customer that we serviced from their tank. This gave them an incentive to help us grow. They have helped us market our service to their customers by way of news letters, billing statements, and word of mouth. It has proven to be a very good deal for both parties. It is a good thing when we are sending them a couple hundred dollars a month in royalty checks. Get creative!!! Community We have been invited, by the local Amateur Radio club, to be apart of their filed day event here in town. With the emphasis being on how our industry could quickly provide data services in emergency situations. It should be a fun time, and give us an opportunity to spread the word. Maybe try getting something going for the county fair in your town, or other special events. Referral Programs Give away a month of free internet to customers that get you customers. Word of Mouth This is the most important marketing plan you will have, and the one you have no direct control over. Make a great product, support it well, and be available to get it to the public, and you will have great Word of Mouth. Dont be afraid to eat a few dollars to make a customer happy. Often we will fix PCs, configure devices, and basically go the extra mile for our customers. Make sure when you leave their home, they have a smile on their face.

This gave them an incentive to help us grow. They have helped us market our service to their customers by way of news letters, billing statements, and word of mouth. It has proven to be a very good deal for both parties. It is a good thing when we are sending them a couple hundred dollars a month in royalty checks. Get creative!!! *Community * We have been invited, by the local Amateur Radio club, to be apart of their filed day event here in town. With the emphasis being on how our industry could quickly provide data services in emergency situations. It should be a fun time, and give us an opportunity to spread the word. Maybe try getting something going for the county fair in your town, or other special events. *Referral Programs* Give away a month of free internet to customers that get you customers. *Word of Mouth* This is the most important marketing plan you will have, and the one you have no direct control over. Make a great product, support it well, and be available to get it to the public, and you will have great Word of Mouth. Don't be afraid to eat a few dollars to make a customer happy. Often we will fix PCs, configure devices, and basically go the extra mile for our customers. Make sure when you leave their home, they have a smile on their face. This is some of the things we have tried, and I hope it helps, good luck!! -Original Message- *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Tuesday, June 13, 2006 10:29 AM *To:* wireless@wispa.org *Subject:* [WISPA] How do you market your WISP Gentlemen; I am in the final stages of design and have begun to guild my WISP.

RE: [WISPA] Re: [WISP] Who is Open Range Communications Inc.?
And Arkansas... This is was posted in www.ardemgaz.com (Arkansas Democrat Gazette) today under the Notices section of the paper. You may want to check your paper today. LEGAL NOTICE OPEN RANGE COMMUNICATIONS INC. We are a prospective applicant under the Rural Broadband Access Loan and Loan Guarantee Program being administered by the Rural Development, Utilities Programs (RDUP), United States Department of Agriculture. We are required, as a prospective applicant to announce our intent to provide broadband services (200 kilobits upstream and downstream) in the State of Arkansas in the following communities: Arkadelphia, Batesville, Bentonville, Blytheville, Bryant, Cabot, DeQueen, Dumas, East End, Greenwood, Harrison, Heber Springs, Hope, Hot Springs Village, Lowell, Magnolia, Marion, Monticello, Morrilton, Stuttgart, Van Buren, Waynne Incumbent broadband service providers have 30 days from the date of this Legal Notice to inform RDUP if they are currently providing broadband service in these areas or if they have a commitment to provide service in these areas. Incumbent broadband service providers should submit to RDUP, on a form prescribed by RDUP, the number of residential customers receiving broadband service in the proposed service area, the rates of data transmission, and the cost of each level of service or proof of commitment to provide service in the proposed service area. A map should also be provided showing the boundaries of your service area in relation to the communities above. A Legal Notice Response Form can be obtained from RDUP's website at www.usda.gov/rus/telecom. 37055620f [37055620] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon K.

Anyone heard of Open Range Communications Inc.? They have applied for RUS grant money in numerous cities throughout the country. Below are a few links to their notices that I have found however, based on search engine results, it appears as though they have also applied for RUS funds in Kentucky, Florida and Virginia as well. I know that there are a couple cities in our coverage area that they have applied for RUS money to construct their own facilities in so I'll be filing the necessary paperwork with RDUP in hopes that their application for those two areas is declined. I am unable to locate where they are based or their contact information. I searched bbb.org and dnb.com but they are not registered with either of these so I'm thinking they may be a start-up company. There are quite a few cities listed in each of their state notices below so if you are operating in any of these states, you'll want to click the applicable link(s) I've provided below to see if they are trying to invade your turf too. The last thing we as WISP's need is for RUS money to be given out to someone who is attempting to compete with one of us in an area that already has broadband. We need to each do our part and file the necessary form with RDUP so they don't give money away for areas that already have broadband available whether the area is covered by a WISP, CLEC or ILEC.

What do they mean by White Spaces? --Wireless Broadband and White Spaces: Instructs the FCC to issue final rules within six months allocating white spaces on an unlicensed basis along with technical guidelines that prevent radio interference. Final rules will break way for low-cost broadband service, especially in rural areas too expensive to serve by wire. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
