This is so sad.  I had the pleasure of reengaging with Scott very recently on a 
tribal broadband project.  In fact he was at Wispapalooza, and by all 
appearances he was in good spirits.  Very sad.

This note just came up on Scott Steven's Facebook page:

On a mountain top, overlooking the ocean, at a tower site in Northern 
Washington on Monday, October 15th, Scottie sadly took his own life. They say 
the spot was beautiful, and everyone knows that broadband technology was his 
passion; perhaps he is finally at peace.

He left behind three children; Sahara, Tate, and Ty. His dad Jay, mom Deb, 
brothers Shawn and Chad, and his sister Jenny. And many family and friends who 
will miss him dearly.

There will be a gathering to share stories, look at pictures of his life, write 
messages that will be carried away by balloons, journal memories in a notebook 
that will be given to his boys Tate and Ty and his daughter Sahara, and embrace 
all of those who lost him.

All are welcome, his kids deserve the opportunity to know their dad through 
your experiences with him. His laughter was contagious, his mind was brilliant, 
and like us all...sometimes, he could be a bit of a punk; no matter your 
history with him, come share your stories and hear all of ours.

An event will be created soon and the invitation is open to all. We will open 
the house up to guests on November 3rd, 2018 (Saturday). We would love locals 
to bring a dish to share too!!

November 3, 2018 (11/3/18)

We are all very sad and this is very difficult for the boys who are 11 & 9, and

Re: [WISPA] SAF vs Trango

2012-11-02 Thread John Seaman
Hi all, I'll chime in here to clarify the point regarding TX Power.
Trango offers high power as a standard feature, and even higher power as
an optional key.  The Extra high power feature and I should also point
out that we also now support adaptive power control, meaning that as ACM
kicks in to downshift the modulation, it will simultaneously upshift the
TX Power.

11 Ghz
Trango:   256QAM   +21 dBm (standard) /   +24 dBm with optional key
QPSK +26 dBm
SAF:  256QAM   +12 dBm (standard) / +18 dBm (HP Model)
4QAM +19 (standard) / +25 (HP)

18  23 GHz
Trango: 256QAM +19 dBm / +21 dBm with optional keyQPSK +25 dBm
SAF:256QAM +12 dBm  (no high power option)  4QAM +19 dBm

Trango receive sensitivity is also considerably higher than SAF, so when
you combine TX Power and RX Sensitivity, the Trango System gain is 10 dB
better (or more) in some cases.

 Trango has more tx power and rx sensitivity, thus their antennas are
smaller, which is a plus.  I would like to know if anyone has any

I guess this is a good time to mention that the TrangoLink-45 has a proper
implementation of DFS and is one of the very few radios which is actually
 FCC certified to work in this frequency band.   As is evident at LV.net,
the TL-45’s DFS mechanism on their many links is operating as it should,
and thereby avoiding the TDWR channel.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Need 18ghz link

Brad,

Go back through the list achieves... I think I have made my stance on
why Dragonwave is better in my opinion than Trango.  I've installed nine
Trango Giga links... so my opinion is based on my own personal
experience... not just the Dragonwave marketing material.  I didn't
repost these comments because many got tired of the whole
Dragonwave/Trango battle on the list.  I sent this to someone earlier
though... I could come up with more reasons if you wish... or just go
back through the achieves.

- Volume of product sold - Dragonwave sold $50 million dollars worth of
equipment last year... by all reports Trango sold only 100 links or so.
It is not unreasonable to think that Trango may not last in the market,
especially with them ditching their point to multi-point product.  

- Dragonwave 6GHz, 11GHz, 18GHz, 23GHz, 24GHz, and 38GHz is all
available now.  

- Lower power consumption

- Field Proven - Firmware releases are stable... Trango has only been in
the field for about a year now, and firmware by many accounts is still
buggy.

- CLI/GUI - Trango GUI is not useable, all commands must come from the
CLI.
Often these commands are confusing to use.  Dragonwave can be configured
either way easily.

- LED Alignment/Voltmeter Alignment - LED Alignment on Trango gear is
not as accurate as voltmeter on Dragonwave... can make aligning
difficult links that much harder (since you only have two digits vs.
four).  From my own personal experience on this one. 

- Better link margins when using the High Power product

- Trango 18GHz equipment does not cover the full band... I can dig up
the e-mail I sent to the list about this.

- Dragonwave does not have a waveguide adapter between the dish and the
ODU... this caused a few problems on the massive Trango deployment I did
(9
links)

The price difference is in the sub-$1k range.  I don't quote pricing on
the list unless it is an advertised special.  If you want a quote... hit
me offlist.

Do you have a comparison chart you can share with us explaining how a

Exactly how close is close when you mention pricing between the two

So when you build a Trango backhaul network you hope they don't ruin you
like they did for us trying to do use 700 dollar CPEs.

I have not used Trango backhaul products due to the horrible experience,
cost and support for the Acess 5800 and 5830 products.

On 2/11/09, John Seaman j...@trangosys.com wrote:
 Just to clear up a few points...  Daniel's claim of number of Trango's

 units shipped is WAY off.  He has no way of knowing what we have 
 shipped.  Trango is a private company and as such we dont divulge 
 specifics, but I can tell you that the actual shipments are FAR 
 greater and a very significant portion of the links shipped have gone 
 outside the US and as such you wont see them show up in the FCC 
 database. Our overall numbers of links shipped may be small compared 
 to Ceragon and the big guys but the product has gained widespread 
 acceptance, traction and is quickly gaining momentum.  Why else would 
 our competitors be acting so nervous?  Trango has firmly established 
 itself with TrangoLINK-GIGA and APEX in the WISP market.  Now we are 
 also gaining excellent traction with counties, states, cities, 
 utilities, as well as the US Military... These entities traditionally 
 deploylargest quantities of wireless backhaul sytems, compared to 
 mobile operators who deploy by far the most.  (although most mobile 
 operator deployments are still strictly TDM).  There is no stopping 
 Trango.  We will continue to peck away at Dragonwave's marketshare and

 gradually we'll be taking larger and larger portions of it.  
 Dragonwave did not ship $50mil last year, it was closer to $40Mil - 
 and by the way they are losing tons of money quarter-after-quarter.
Trango is, and has always been profitable.

 I actually don't have a side-by side comparison of the two products
 handy. We really should put one together.   Truth is there are many
 similarities and also some key differences.  For those who may not be 
 aware, Trango offers two primary product lines:  TrangoLINK-GIGA and 
 TrangoLINK-APEX.  GIGA is our split architecture system which offers 4

 GigE Ports (Dragonwave 1), 8 T1 ports (Dragonwave zero).  The APEX is 
 the all outdoor POE product which offers a GigE port as well as a 
 plug-in slot for a fiber SFP module. I have never been able to 
 determine how the Dragonwave optical option works...but I dont think 
 it is anything as simple as APEX (Daniel feel free to provide 
 details).  Both of the traffic ports (optical and GigE copper) on the 
 APEX can be used simultaneously.  GIGA and APEX both offer port 
 priority and QoS functionality as well as rapid port shutdown.  The 
 multiple port option allows users to completely segregate traffic from
one port to the next.
 Dragonwave does not have this feature.The APEX offers TRUE
Hitless
 ACM which is Adaptive Coding Modulation which means the system will 
 move to slower modulations without taking any hits.  I don't believe 
 that Horizon Compact offers hitless ACM.  Daniel, feel free to correct
me if
 I am wrong.   Regarding the GIGA, one other point which comes up often
 is that the Dragonwave split solution (Airpair) allows only for very 
 short (300 ft?) IF cable runs.  TrangoLINK-GIGA allows for 1000 ft of 
 cable.

 As for Daniel's other points:
 -Products available now: TrangoLINK-GIGA 6, 11, 18, 23 GHz. APEX 18, 
 11 GHz.  23 Ghz coming next month.
 -Power Consumption: TrangoLINK-APEX power consumption is lower than 
 Horizon Compact High power version although higher than Horizon 
 standard power version, which stands to reason.
 -Field Proven:  Latest releases of GIGA and APEX firmware highly
stable.
 TrangoLINK-GIGA  has been in the field for  18 months now.
 -CLI/GUI:  You can do a full link setup using only the GUI interface 
 on GIGA and APEX although admitedly the CLI has more functionality.  
 Our firware engineers will enhance this in future releases.  The CLI 
 is very much like a Cisco interface and most users are very 
 comfortable in the CLI.
 -LED Allignment - the allignment tool has received rave reviews from

 So when you build a Trango backhaul network you hope they don't ruin 
 you like they did for us trying to do use 700 dollar CPEs.

 I have not used Trango backhaul products due to the horrible 
 experience, cost and support for the Acess 5800 and 5830 products.

 I actually don't have a side-by side comparison of the two products
 handy. We really should put one together.   Truth is there are many

 aware, Trango offers two primary product lines:  TrangoLINK-GIGA and 
 TrangoLINK-APEX.  GIGA is our split architecture system which offers 
 4
 

   
 GigE Ports (Dragonwave 1), 8 T1 ports (Dragonwave zero).  The APEX is

 the all outdoor POE product which offers a GigE port as well as a 
 plug-in slot for a fiber SFP module. I have never been able to 
 determine how the Dragonwave optical option works...but I dont think 
 it is anything as simple as APEX (Daniel feel free to provide 
 details).  Both of the traffic ports (optical and GigE copper) on the

 APEX can be used simultaneously.  GIGA and APEX both offer port 
 priority and QoS functionality as well as rapid port shutdown.  The 
 multiple port option allows users to completely segregate traffic 
 from
 
 one port to the next.
   
 Dragonwave does not have this feature.The APEX offers TRUE
 
 Hitless
   
 ACM which is Adaptive Coding Modulation which means the system will 
 move to slower modulations without taking any hits.  I don't believe 
 that Horizon Compact offers hitless ACM.  Daniel, feel free to 
 correct
 
 me if
   
 I am wrong.   Regarding the GIGA, one other point which comes up
often
 is that the Dragonwave split solution (Airpair) allows only for very 
 short (300 ft?) IF cable runs.  TrangoLINK-GIGA allows for 1000 ft of

 cable.

 As for Daniel's other points:
 -Products available now: TrangoLINK-GIGA 6, 11, 18, 23 GHz. APEX 18,
 11 GHz.  23 Ghz coming next month.

Thanks Tom,  we're not convinced about 24 GHz... the power limits are
very low.  We are looking at it but we're trying to size up the 24 GHz
market before we make the commitment to pursue this frequency.  I do
know that in Canada there is good demnand for 24 GHz (since licensing
fees are extremely high) .. but here is the US, the licensing costs are
so low that most users prefer to go with licensed band.. at least that
has been our perception of the market so far.  I would like to hear
others view points on 24 GHz.

 The only reason we don't attach
 it here in the factory is to enable the user the option to use a 
 waveguide adapter (instead of the transition) in the event they want 
 to connect the ODU to piece of flex waveguide so that it can be used 
 with any dish with a waveguide flange.

Good feature for those who want to upgrade pre-existing installed slower
DS-3 type radios with new state of the art IP, using already installed
dish.

As someone who has now used both the Trango and Dragonwave products, I
can honestly say they are both very fine products, and a buyer couldn't
possibly go wrong with either purchase decission.  But, we have reached
a point where a buyer does not HAVE TO accept a significant technical
compromise anymore 
to gain a better price.   I will not get into a debate of which
product is 
better, as there are very tiny differences that might be more or less
preferable dependant on the buyer's application or personal preference.
But I will say, Dragonwave will lose sales, if they try to keep their
price higher, and at minimum are at a stage requiring price matching.
There was a time that Dragonwave was considered the premium product,
but today there are many buyers that would argue the opposite that
Trango is now becomming the more premium product.  I'll leave that
decission to the prospective buyer.

What I'd like to see from Dragonwave, is for them to give their
distributors better prices consistently by default, so they can be more
competitive.  I think their quality resellers deserve that assistance,
and the markup they add to generate sales.

What I'd like to see from Trango, is for them to embrace 24Ghz, and add
it to their collection. There is a Huge market for this, to empower
WISPs to close deals and isntall links without delay.
(even if they were converted to 23Ghz licensed down the road).

What would be really cool, is a 23Ghz unit that was wideband and
supported 23Ghz through 24Ghz, where software implemented the neccessary
power reductions at 24Ghz unlicensed to keep it legal, when the channel
was selected. I do not know if that is technically acheivable or not,
without compromise.

Re: [WISPA] Need 18ghz link

2009-02-11 Thread John Seaman
Matt, there is no DFS detector in the Atlas5010. It was not a firmware
issue, but rather a hardware limitation.   That is why we released the
5055, aka the TrangoLINK-45 which is essentially the same product as the
Atlas but has DFS support for the UNII band.   If you bought the 5010s
before the FCC cutoff in 2006 then you are legally allowed to use the
5.2/5.3 GHz band with the 5010.  The old firmware for the 5010s that
operates without DFS is available on our archived FW download page.

Promotions will come and go.  I am pretty sure all the vendors have
engaged in promos at one time or another where the promo price is
equivalent to, or better than standard volume based pricing. In your
case it may have been unfurtunate timing where the promos came out
shortly after the volume purchase.

Trango has a way of destroying their reputation even when their product
is not at fault. We've had them offer us volume discounts only later to
see the same price offered without a volume requirement as part of a
promotion. I can't get a modern firmware for our older 5010s that
operate in 5.2 because the new firmware turns on DFS even though our
radios are grandfathered. It is sad they never updated their Atlas
platform.

We do lots of the calcs every day (with PathLoss 4).  If you want us to

We're still in the PtMP business.  It's just that we don't have any new
PtMP products to release.  M5830, M5580. M900, M2400 are still alive and
well.

They have worked with Trango in the past.  You'd think they'd license
Trango's polling scheme since Trango is no longer in the PtMP business.

 I contacted MT support, since I've had this issue.  In our dialog,
they
 said
 they are working on something, but it's too soon to tell when it'll be

 done, if at all possible.

 I soon will be evaluating other options.

Re: [WISPA] Trango Site

2007-10-24 Thread John Seaman
 
We are back in business.  Thanks everyone for your concern.  The last
several days were pure chaos here in San Diego county.  Many of us were
evacuated from our homes at 4 am Monday morning as the flames were
approaching various neighborhoods.  The immediate area where the Trango
facility is located was also evacuated.  Unfortunately we lost
communication to our building and we were not able to get to our
facility until this morning to bring our connection back up.

Everything is fine here at Trango - as it turns out the fires did not
come too close to our facility.  We are back in operation today and will
commence shipping this afternoon.

So far I have not heard of any Trango employees who lost their homes
although many of our neighbors were not so lucky.  In my case there were
about a dozen homes in my neighborhood that were lost.  My house is
still standing.  We really need to thank the firefighters that saved the
majority of our neighborhood.  I learned that in my area yesterday were
fire departments from Compton, Downy, Vernon, Montibello (from the LA
area).. Also the Marines and Coast Guard were doing area drops.  

We have a small staff that has arrived here at the Trango faclity.  Many
of our employees are busy taking care of their families as there are
many of us still evacuated from our homes.

We at Trango learned something from this experience and that is to
practice what we preach with regards to redundancy in our networks.

Thanks again to all who expressed concere.  We apologize for the
inconvenience this caused to our customers and we are working very hard
to get back on track with scheduled shipments and we should be fully
staffed and 100% operational by the end of today and going into
tomorrow.

WISPA just received the following note from Jeff Mabry at Trango:

I'd like to notify all of you that Trango Broadband Wireless is in the
midst of the wild fires which are burning out of control in San Diego
County.  Our facility is safe from harm, however, the national guard has
shut down the roads into Poway and evacuated all the residents in the
surrounding area, therefore our office is closed today.  We anticipate
that the roads will be open tomorrow and business will return to normal.

 I believe they are in the San Diego area which is heavily impacted by 
 the Southern California wildland fires. They may have a) evacuated, b)

 lost power, or c) lost Internet access. I'm in the LA area and the 
 wireless ISP serving me lost power at their access point location 
 (above

 Topanga and near Malibu) and was off the air from about 4 PM yesterday

 until 1 AM this morning  They said backup generators were not 
 permitted on the mountaintop so they were saving their last 3-4 hours 
 of battery backup to use this morning for the first  few hours of the
business day.

 I think commercial power has now been restored to the mountaintop 
 because Internet connectivity has now been up since 1 AM.

 Anyway, it would be good to cut Trango some slack as circumstances may

 be beyond their control.

Trango is clearly trying to get their product deployed before more
inexpensive WiMAX CPE hits the street.

- They announced their $149 CPE (in 30 packs), but must install M5830 AP as
a transition
- They announced a M5800 $300 rebate/tradein program for your old APs
- Don't know if they have announced yet but I have heard they will have a
connectorized M5830 AP so you don't have to purchase 6 AP's then replace
them

I don't have an idea of the timing on the Atlas AP.  That would be nice to
hear about...

 Thats one of the trade offs, 5800 is end of lifed :-(
 I don't mind retiring 5800AP in favor of next generation AP.
 What I mind is reitring 5800AP to replace it with a last generation
5830AP,
 that most likely will need to be re-replaced shortly after by an OFDM AP.
 I still think the merit of accomplish a quality $150 CPE is amazing.
 But I'd wish they'd get the Atlas AP comming, so we can see if the M5580
is
 a usable or non usable OFDM product.

A better product is nice and all, but there is more to product selection 
than just price/performance. We have to take into account availability. 
With distributors we can rely on them to stock a product, so that when 
we need it in a short time frame it is available. Distributors provide 
other benefits as well that I am sure most on this list are aware of. 
With Trango's actions we simply can't buy from them.

 I also know Trango is a better product than Moto is more ways than one 
 and Trango is going to be releasing a lower priced 5.x SU that will be 
 very competitive with Moto as they have made some changes in the 
 production of the external housing to allow a lower cost. I think they 
 are going to implement a cheap plastic housing like Motorola?

 better choices. From a specification standpoint, Canopy general meets 
 our needs, but we don't like being constrained on the antenna. We 
 would like to use sectors bigger than 60 degrees and we would like to 
 use horizontal polarization. We don't want to use Trango for no other 
 reason than they can't work with distributors. We really like the 
 flexibility on many 802.11a-based radios and certainly the price, but 
 the contention aspects of the protocol and the perception of Wi-Fi 
 being a consumer grade technology stop us from going that route.

 Any thoughts from the list?
