Re: [WISPA] star os config help- clarifying my message

2008-06-12 Thread Chad Halsted
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

2008-03-26 Thread Chad Halsted
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!!

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.

And then the issue becomes how much that vendor is going to mark-up the

Isn't the reason most people are using MT is because of the cost? How

 Each particular vendor will need a cert for the complete system they

Mobile SSH has a free trial and should work with the E70.

Thanksgiving day, my son and I put up a future customer's CPE up in the
woods.  I mean, up in the mountains, log cabin, beyond phone and power.
They have a generator, batteries, solar panels, etc. We did it because
snow
was predicted and already a little bit had fallen.   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.

The people got back a few days later, and by then, yes, quite a bit of
snow
had fallen.   When we had the chance to go back and finish ( plug the
power
in inside, hook up thier equipment) we had no signal.

We tried everything we  could think of, short of changing parts, because
we
didn't take any (wasn't our install rig, just a 4x4 so we could get
through
the deep snow), no signal.

Yesterday, after a few days of warm, we drove in ( this time, install


rig,


my '89 Caravan ) digging through some deep snow going in the canyon
between
them and the main road.

Eventually, we changed every part, including the WAR board and SR9, no
signal.   Then, I assembled the WAR we took out and all the parts


changed


out, and standing there, on the ground...  I had a solid link.

Finally, in pitch black dark, I climbed the ladder, had someone provide
some
light, and hooked up the SR9 through another pigtail to the anntenna...
POOF, signal.

Put the original back on...  Poof, signal.  then, none.   Work  the
pigtail
around so it's not tensioned and in line and put it back on... Poof,
signal.

I go inside, log in...and in a minute or so, watch the signal fade to
nothing.

T urns out our low loss u.fl to n-female pigtails with the thicker coax


in


the cold will revert shape and pull themselves off the cramped SR9 / WAR
board combination.

I found one of the crapola thing things I had rejected for 5 ghz use and
put
it in place...  Yeah, 1 or 2 db loss in the piggy, but it stayed on...

Anyone make a low loss pigtail that's flexible even in the cold?   I


tried


two different ones, one pacwireless, one is Roger's, I think.  Neither
could
be convinced to retain a new shape in the cold...

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.

 Carlos,

 It all depends on how big a hill and what speed you need.  There is
 some PtP equipment (Motorola PtP, formerly Orthogon) that can talk
 over the hill in one link if the hill is not too big or the distance
 is not too long.  Other option is to put another repeater in between.
 But that means another radio site.  If you want to send me latitude
 and longitude of both sites I can see if the one radio link will work.

word of a price increase on the CPE units also (not the CPQ's though).











I'd also like to get something a little smaller in physical
size than the Tranzeo's. Not that they are bad, but would be nice if they
weren't quite such an eyesore. Again, that's not a huge issue though.











Anyway, just thought I'd throw this out. I've considered

I want to do that, and not sure if it would be asfinancially economical

you could bend the mind of top legal experts to get an opinion. Add
other questions you like answered in your reply.

mks:  I guess I'm a bit confused.  Those are not really 1 thru 10 type 
questions.  Those are questions begging answers.  I'll try to do both 
though.

Comment or add to this list:
- What good is Form 477

mks:  It's the ONLY official head count of broadband customers.  1

 and do we really need to file it?

mks:  Absolutely.  Without known customers we have NO value in the food 
chain.  The more customers we have the more power we have.  1

- Does CALEA affect me?

mks:  Still trying to figure that one out.  I've got a note in to the
FCC 
for some clarification on this issue.  3

 How? When? How do I solve it without it costing
an arm and a leg?

mks:  Not only that, but it is really any of MY buisiness what my
customers 
do on the net?  If someone thinks there's a problem with a customer,
come to 
me with a search warrent and the needed tools for the search (just like
you 
would come to my house) and have fun.  No one is going to want 
everything they've ever done on the internet saved forever.  That's the
kind 
of silly crap that the Nazis and Soviets did.  Look where it got them.

- What's the real risk, if any, of not using certified systems?

mks:  Realistically?  Little or no risk.  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?

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

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

RE: [WISPA] Lightning hits

2006-08-09 Thread Chad Halsted
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.

Good Luck!

If you haven't run a test with a spectrum analyzer, there really is no
way to know for sure what is out there.  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.  I just
thought I would share some info that I had to learn the hard way.

Good Luck!!

 I'm having trouble with performance.  Works fine for awhile and then it
 seems to bog down, and then back to normal again.  I've got about 10
clients

 around the -65 mark so that's no problem.  I've got a couple of
marginal
 clients (running -90 or so) so I'm wondering if these could possibly be
 causing it. Everything is horizontal pol.

residential mix, mostly no lower than 70% residential. At least that
tends
to be the case with large Alvarion-based operators. I am curious about
ratio
in the 200-1,000 CPE WISPs category (which I tend to think is a broad
category that can run the ganut of rural to urban and cross all types of
WISP definitions). As well, how about those of you that are sub-200 CPE,
what is your rough mix?

Subject: [WISPA] VoIP. 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] Tranzeo WDS capacity, Mikrotik - problems

2006-07-19 Thread Chad Halsted
No personal experience on the X10, but from what I here, it will give
you nightmares.

Seems like I heard Marlon speak such wonderful things about the x10
before, eh Marlon?

-90 signal is never a good thing.  We won't do an install unless it's
-75 or better.  Sometimes even a -75 isn't strong enough to combat all
the interference we have in town.

Subject: [WISPA] Tranzeo WDS capacity, Mikrotik - problems

I've got a two AP WDS setup with Tranzeo TR-6000's with PacWireless 13db
omni's on each.  They are less than a mile apart.  Any idea how many
CPE's
 can run on each AP before it starts causing issues?  We're going to be
 replacing the WDS setup with an actual backhaul soon, but just haven't
 gotten it done yet.

 I'm having trouble with performance.  Works fine for awhile and then it
 seems to bog down, and then back to normal again.  I've got about 10 
clients
 (all  Tranzeo gear) on each of the AP's.  I wouldn't think that this
would
 cause issues but I may be wrong.  Signal between the WDS connections is
 around the -65 mark so that's no problem.  I've got a couple of
marginal
 clients (running -90 or so) so I'm wondering if these could possibly be
 causing it. Everything is horizontal pol.

When the service completely drops out I can get to the AP's just fine
from 
the client end, but can't get to the router (RB532).  I've switched out 
cabling, switches, etc with no luck.  Have a new 532 on the way so I'm
going 
to switch it out as well and see what happens, but anyone have any other

thoughts?

 Also, anyone have experience with an X10 camera shutting down their 
network?

 Thanks!

 cause serious problems for a DSSS system, as the hopper runs across

 the band.  HOWEVER, DSSS will trash about 30% of that spectrum for 
 the hopper.  (At least that is the approximate ratio for the 2.4GHz

 range.)  Having said that, FHSS in 900 DOES make a lot of sense, so

 long as you have the ability to choose where it hops.

They haven't specified a frequency.  

They are asking for opinions about what the criteria should be in

RE: [WISPA] How do you market your WISP

2006-06-13 Thread Chad Halsted








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 is some of the things we have tried,
and I hope it helps, good luck!!

2006-06-13 Thread Chad Halsted

Chad,

Thanks for the great email!

I'll change 2 of yours:
Referrals: instead of a credit on the bill... send them a check.. that's

a bigger WOW!

I like the idea of sending them a check.  Like you say, that has a much
bigger WOW factor.  We will have to try that.

Word of Mouth: have downloadable videos of HOWTO's. With your logo 
prominently displayed on shirts, hats, mouse pads, cups, etc. (Product 
placement :) If the video is decent, it will be sent out to many people.

Spreads your name.

Another good idea!!

 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.

Travis,



I have a StarOS PTP link using the 533mhz
WAR boards that get up to 33Mbps (TCP). Thats using CM9 atheros
cards and 2 PacWireless Dishes.

Hi,

Does anyone know actual TCP throughput with StarOS on their 533mhz boards in
just a point to point config, using 20mhz of spectrum?

Who makes them?, how much? 

Hi Richard, This cloaking mechanism is the 5MHz and 10MHz channel sizes thatGeorge was referring to on the Star WAR boards. Works really well and evenseems to improve signal quality.Cheers,P.-Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] OnBehalf Of Richard GoodinSent: 11 April 2006 08:09To: wireless@wispa.orgSubject: Re: [WISPA] Best system for a new WISPGuys;These all sound great. I was reading just a couple months back about a WISPoperator that had a severe problem. Just a few yards away, maybe 300 feet,another guy put up his tower. I think they were both on 2.4 GHZ, andsomeone suggested a different AP that would not even be detected byconventional systems. Something about nonstandard bandwidth, channelspacing or coding. I really feel that stealth is best here. These otherguys have been in business for a while and could cause trouble that I do notneed.Lee 

Trango does make a good product. I still have 2 Sunstream AP's in use. 

They 

are like Timex watches.I'm using Star War boards. A little bit more than the trango s. The 2 

card 

boards in a 5 gig rootenna let me use the 2nd card for an omni.Speeds are about 20+ megs or so and I cloak down to 5MHz and 10MHz
