Re: [WISPA] Network Neutrality talking points

[Marco Coelho]

There is nothing wrong with prioritizing one type of service over another
(VOIP vs FTP).  It leads to a better quality of service for the end user.
Where this was going sideways earlier was when the big ISP companies were
going to charge Netflix and Hulu directly if they wanted priority on their
backbones.

[WISPA] Insurance once again

[Marco Coelho]

Apparently Liberty Mutual has misplaced their testes and has sent us a
non-renewal notice with reason code being they no longer insure ISPs.  No
losses for a decade.

Any suggestions out there?  We're talking about bulidings, towers,
liability, etc.

Thanks in advance.

[WISPA] What my spies are talking about

[Marco Coelho]

Some of my friends at Verizon are talking a major shift in their Fiber
Deployment.
They have decided Fiber to the Home is non practical.  They have adopted a
fiber to the pedestal scheme with the last part of the connectivity being
wireless to the home.  Details on bands used have not been provided, but
that is apparently their new model.  They have sold their copper plant in
Texas to Frontier as a part of this plan.   Interesting times.

Are there any cat5/6/7 crimpers out there that also crimp the drain wire
for the shielded cat 5 lines?  It would save us a lot of time soldering the

[WISPA] Odd problem with old PTP400

I've got on old moto ptp400 that has been in service for too long.
Recently ping times through this radio have gone to 200-400ms.  I'm not
seeing the throughput that would cause this link to fill up.

A reboot on both ends drops the pings for a while, then they go back up
within 5 minutes.

[WISPA] cambium 450 real 90 degree panels

[Marco Coelho]

Does anyone have some recommendations for this?  Cambiums 90° antenna is
actually a 65° antenna.  My definition of a sector is 3db down at the edge
of the main lobe.

[WISPA] FM Radio interference

[Marco Coelho]

I have an existing tower that has a FM transmitter on it.  I believe they
are just under 10,000 Watts.
Since we have been one that tower, I could never link up Ethernet that runs
up the tower to the equipment on the bottom at 100BT.  I've tried ferrite
rings on both ends, all cables are shielded and grounded.  Always had to go
to 10BT to get a link.

I moved our radios 35 feet away from the bottom their antennas and still
cannot link at 100BT.

The new radios require 1000BT too use them to full advantage.  Ideas?

I'm considering conduit all the way up the tower.  I don't want to put
switches at the top.

[WISPA] Users email to support 5.7 band

[Marco Coelho]

This is the e-mail we sent to ALL of our users to help support the 5.7 band:
Please send something similar to your users.

Dear argontech.net user,


*END OF RURAL HIGH SPEED INTERNET POSSIBLE*

The FCC has approved a change to the system requirements for the 5.7 GHz
Microwave Radio Bands that we and most other wireless internet service
providers utilize.  Within two years these changes will decimate rural
wireless broadband and your internet service.  Either service will have to
discontinue, or monthly service costs will be greatly increased.  We
presently have a petition to the FCC to change the rules so that we can
continue to use these bands to provide you service.

We strongly urge you to follow the link below and tell the FCC how
important rural broadband is to you.  Please *forward this link to everyone
in your address book* so that we may pass the message and save your
service.  Under ISP tell them you're with:

*argontech.net http://argontech.net*

http://www.wispa.org/save-rural-broadband-and-unlicensed-wireless-call-to-action

Thank you for your support and help.

Re: [WISPA] iPerf as a Real-World Performance Simulation Tool

To get a real test, you need to run iperf with numerous threads using the
-P parameter.  It's the only way to push 1G+
reliably.

 Has anyone used iPerf before? I'm curious of your thoughts as to the
 reliability, and how the results would map to a real-world environment.
 For example, a friend was testing some 3.65 radios (which had no
 connection to the Internet) using iPerf. Based upon the iPerf results, a
 determination was made regarding maximum concurrent users per AP and
 maximum aggregate bandwidth capacity of the radio. For the maximum
 concurrent users I believe they tested this at several different
 download and upload speed for the fictional users.

 Having never used iPerf, I don't know if the results from their tests
 (which were very poor by the way - much lower than common configurations
 of DL/UL rates as well as number of users per AP I've read many of you
 describing on these lists) map reasonably to what one would expect from
 a given AP, or if they tend to be wonky.

  I actually do not know yet. The 2450 are new and different from the
 previous ones in terms of some of the hardware (filters and such), so I
 don't yet have North American anecdotal examples. Most international
 examples are not WISP-based I understand, using omni versions for apps like
 smart cities, indoor coverage from outside, stadiums, etc. The WISP market
 is a big reason why we are doing the sector versions.

 ** **

 The specs on the dual band sector are:

 2.4 GHz: HGDP, 12dBi, 120ºH x 16ºV

 5 GHz: HGDP, 14dBi, 120ºH x 8ºV

 ** **

 Effective directed EIRP totals are high because they meet the PTP FCC
 requirements because of the adaptive beamforming:

 2.4 GHz: 48 dBm
 5 GHz: 49 dBm

 ** **

 Those of you smarter than I can probably do the math then to get an idea
 of range at various heights. The one example I know from a trusted source
 (my engineer) is his getting stable 20mbps with the USB device one mile
 away from his house with the BTS mounted on the railing of his 2nd story
 porch. I am not sure of his LOS or NLOS condition, but I should assume
 mostly LOS to be safe. The beamforming is bi-directional from the CPE up as
 well, so that should help the range too.

  Thanks for the details Tyson. You are right, that version is the legacy
 b/g version with 3 omnis diagonally opposed. That has 450 mbps aggregate
 (obviously in top modulation). The new 2450 series are N-based and feature
 6 radios. Both the 2.4 and the 5GHz side are 3x3 MIMO. The versions include:
 

  

 WBSn 2450-S which is a single dual band sector in 120 degrees with 6
 antenna elements. I can get you exact H/V details if you want.

 WBSn 2450-O which has three diagonally-opposed dual band omnis, again
 with each band 3x3. 

 WBSn 2450-SO comes with a single 5 GHz 3x3 120 sector and 3
 diagonally-opposed 2.4 omnis.

  

 Yes John, we have client devices, among them:

 Dual Zone Indoor AP. It also beamforms and it is basically a very small
 form factor repeater that picks up the outdoor signal and re-broadcasts
 indoor. It is a really effective little box.

 There is an outdoor CPE as you would expect.

 There is also a USB version CPE as well as a desk mount.

  

 I have to check as there may be others.

  

 Max associations on BTSs are 512. All deliver 900 mbps aggregate.

  

 They all do beam adaptive beamforming, which means the antennas target
 all the energy to each client and does this on a per packet decision basis.
 This helps considerably with interference mitigation. The radios also have
 several other patented interference mitigation techniques.

  

 Alvarion improved upon the performance of these radios as well and the
 2450 series are the result. All are IP68 (complete submersion down to 3
 feet deep) boxes and feel like tanks.

Re: [WISPA] Customer Routers

We sell our customers routers, both Netgear and Linksys.  We charge $100
and guarantee the router for as long as they are on the service with us.
Linksys seem to have a much higher failure rate than the Netgear units.
Netgear routers do pppoe better and more reliably.

Re: [WISPA] Power for tower sites

We use the SMART UPS series with AP9617 control / monitor cards.  If you get
the XL (extended run) versions, they usually have an external DC battery
connector that you can add additional batteries to.   We have many of these
in the field with years of run time.

Expect to change batteries every 2.5 years if you want to prevent failures,
or every 3-4 years if failure is acceptable.

 If you are NOT worried about uptime, you could get an APC 1500 or 2200 with
 an AP9617.  Those units are quite good, but they're AC/DC/AC/DC from utility
 to your radios.  I think 80 watts gets you an hour of uptime?

 I've never had a unit go bad, I always buy refurb'ed units and new
 batteries.  Running three of them for a couple of years now.

 for a month or so and then kills either the battery or the UPS or both.  

Re: [WISPA] Wind Safety regulations for towers

[Marco Coelho]

We once bought out a company that came with a tower company.  We closed that
down within a couple of months after watching them work.  1/2 of them were
crank or meth heads, the others were just nuts.  None could keep a drivers
license.

I caught one guy hanging upside down on a cranes heavy ball 300 ft up
without safety straps  With OSHA on-site (but not looking thank God).
Fired him over the radio.  I heard he had since been injured somewhere in
Florida.

Like I said before, drug test your tower climbers monthly.  We let another
guy go after he failed a drug test.  Zanax and weed.  You don't need
climbers that are high on anything.

 Rule of thumb.  If it doesn't feel safe, it probably isn't.

 While a 20 Mph wind is easy to work in, that same wind would be very
 dangerous trying to install a 4 foot parabolic dish.

Re: [WISPA] Staff Apparel

If you want laundry and repair services also, Unifirst is good.

I dropped them due to cost and the issue with employees forgetting to bring
the uniforms in to be laundered.

Bulk order good shirts / t-shirts and have them silk screened or embroidered
locally.  It's probably the cheapest approach.

Have the employees wear blue jeans every day as the bottom part of their

 You'll probably have better luck finding a small local outfit to do this,
 precisely because the big companies usually have large minimum orders.

 If you do want to do it all online, try customink.com. Can't vouch for
 their embroidery, but I've ordered hundreds of screen-printed T-shirts
 through them with no problems. Their Web site they have a minimum embroidery
 order of just 6 shirts, and you can mix-and-match.

Re: [WISPA] Possible interference with Alvarion 2.4 / 5.8 GHz

[Marco Coelho]

They are pretty far out of band for the two bands you mentioned.  I would
bet that no interference will be noticed.
They would have to have some pretty bad radios to get you with harmonics on
the RF side.  You may experience some Ethernet issues depending on
separation and your shielding, but I would also bet it would be a non issue.

FM transmitters near 100MHz are like a bullet to the head for Ethernet.

  Hi,



 I have 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz AP´s in a tower where a company is planning to 
 install above our antennas a channel 24 LPTV antenna receiving on 647 MHZ 
 (channel 43) and transmitting on 533 MHz (channel 24). My question is if the 
 harmonics could cause any interference to us or could be an issue?



 These are the specifications we received from the company:



 The transmit power will be 580 watts on TV channel 24 which is 530-536 MHz

 The transmitter is heavily filtered with a “stringent mask” to eliminate out 
 of band energy.  http://louise.hallikainen.org/FCC/FccRules/2010/74/794/

 If there are any problems it’s likely due to front end overload of your 
 equipment. That can be easily resolved with the addition of filters between 
 your antenna(s) and receiver(s).

 If your 2.4 GHz equipment suffers any interference I’d propose an L-com 
 BPF2400A: http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=22046

 If your 5.8 GHz equipment is bothered the BPF5800A should eliminate any 
 issues: http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=22184


 Any comment will be welcome.

This would allow for your average utube streaming of a small video, but kill
anything larger like netflix, hulu, etc.

Re: [WISPA] band pass filters

The only thing you've got to remember, is that if in the future you have a
problem, you can't just make a freq change on the AP, you've got to move
hardware as well.

Glad it worked.  I'll keep it in the toolkit.

 I got several of each, but I ended up using channel 1 mostly.  When I
 put that puppy in, I got like 40 dB less noise on the channels I
 didn't want, and I also could not even hear other APs when I moved the
 radio to channels 2-11 (there is that much isolation in the filter).

 Now throughput is much smoother and higher.  Before I put these in,
 bandwidth would be slow and come in spurts (as evidenced by various
 throughput tools like iperf and online speed tests).

Re: [WISPA] A quick primer on USF

[Marco Coelho]

On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 11:39 AM, Scottie Arnett sarn...@info-ed.comwrote:

 I live in one of these rural coop areas. I bet the rates here are much
 lower
 than the people in the city pay. The last home telephone I had(2008) ran me
 around $24/mth including all taxes, etc... with no long distance. The telco
 workers make twice to three times the hourly prevailing wage in this area,
 but on par with what a telco worker would make in say New Jersey. I think
 something is flawed in this? They are supposed to be non-profit and they
 making so much money, instead of giving it back to the coop members, they
 just give everyone raises and bonuses. I would like to know just how much
 they get in USF in my area.

  Oh, voice?  Well, the real scandal of USF is that the ILEC-ETC is
  allowed to do practically anything so long as it's useful for
  voice.  They can build Fiber to the Ranch, for $20,000+/home (CapEx)
  or more, or $1000/month per sub (though they propose making it harder
  to get $250/line/mo), if it also delivers voice, *even if* they
  already have copper to the ranch *and* an unlicensed WISP.  Check out
  Border to Border in Texas.  So USF does fund broadband; it just does
  it indirectly, by letting them build a broadband-ready network with
  subsidy money.  The ISP they run across it is then incidental, not
  *directly* subsidized, but if the wire or fiber is already there, how
  much does more it cost to drop on broadband Internet?  Thanks to this
  policy, many rural ILECs have better broadband coverage than
  unsubsidized Bells.

 This is the one that really gets under my skin. I compete against it every
 day and they get BIP/BTOP funding in addition. I think they need to FORCE
 every company getting funding from the government or USF to either separate
 their ISP/telco activities and resell to any ISP at the same rate as their
 ISP, or be FORCED to open their network for other ISP's to use at a
 competitive rate. I guess you could say I would like to see it got back to
 the Computer Inquiries.

 Nice explanation Fred.

 Subject: [WISPA] A quick primer on USF


  First off, this last thread's title was offensive, so I changed
  it.  The current Administration is not doing much that previous ones
  didn't do, and that's the problem.  The FCC sees the spectrum as a
  source of revenue (auctions), and Congress sees the FCC as a source
  of subsidy money to rural states.
 
  USF exists because the Telecom Act requires it.  USF replaced an even
  uglier system wherein rural telcos charged really really high
  switched access per minute rates to LD carriers at either end of the
  call.  VoIP would have killed that anyway... so now there are
  explicit cash subsidies.
 
  Let's set aside the smaller parts of USF (Schools  Libraries, Rural
  Health Care, and Low Income) and focus on the one on the table now,
  High Cost Support.  This is the one that gets the bulk of the tax
  money anyway.  The statutory requirement is that rural telephone
  rates be comparable (not identical) to urban ones.  So if it really
  costs $100/month to provide telephone service in East Overshoe, then
  the East Overshoe Telephone Cooperative is entitled to USF to let
  them hold down the rate.
 
  But it's a lot more complicated than that.  Cost is averaged across a
  study area, which is in general the operating territory of one
  (historic, pre-merger) telephone company in one state.  So South
  Central Bell- Mississippi is one study area, and South Central Bell-
  Tennessee is another.  Verizon has at least two study areas in
  California, though, one ex-Contel and one ex-GTE.  CenturyTel has a
  heap of them all over the place, as does TDS.
 
  The point of averaging across a study area is that low-cost urban
  areas cross-subsidize high-cost rural ones.  So Qwest in Omaha is
  supposed to subsidize Qwest in the rural parts of Nebraska.  Thus the
  big recipients are the small telephone companies who do not have
  urban areas.  That would be bad enough, but a small telephone company
  typically has a separate corporate structure, including IT, CS, etc.,
  which supports very few subscribers.  So the OpEx per subscriber can
  be really high too, because small telcos are inefficient.  If TDS or
  CenturyTel buys them, they often keep the study areas separate...
  cost goes down but the money still flows!  (The pending NPRM does
  however at least open the issue of merging study areas.)  And the
  Bells, especially Qwest/USWest, have sold off a lot of rural
  areas.  So they have lowered their average cost. This doesn't lower
  their rate, though, because they don't get USF anyway, and they are
  on price caps, not rate of return, so they keep their rates and raise
  their margins.  The rural chains that buy the rural turf 

Re: [WISPA] Obama want to control the wireless world

[Marco Coelho]

I have written in a more eloquent way to various of my congresspeople,
however, this was more of a quick rant on a yahoo message board.  I am a
true believer in democracy, capitalism, and the free market.  I very
strongly don't believe in socialism.

I don't feel that the majority of those at the wheel at the moment have a
clue as to what they are doing.They're more after sound bites and speech
fodder.

wispa is a good beginning for our industry, but there are some steps that
would really help make some changes and mature this industry..  I'll try to
put some of those down and post them up early next week.

 I think this article shows just how far WISPs (and WISPA) need to go to
 make elected officials aware that all wireless isn't mobile. They seem
 unaware that WISPs supply FIXED WIRELESS BROADBAND and that mobile broadband
 is (like Matt Larsen says) toy broadband.

 Rather than piss and moan, when are we going to get our act together and

[WISPA] something to watch out for with genset

[Marco Coelho]

Since the weather had turned nasty here in Texas, I thought I'd test out the
Generator to ensure it would do it's job.  It fired up just fine, but one of
the exhaust flaps that keep water out of the exhaust had frozen shut with a
large clump of ice on top to boot (counter weight).  This would have
eventually fouled the plugs on one side had I not checked.  Running for 5
minutes did not clear it.

Yet something else for us to look for.

Re: [WISPA] You would think after 20 years we have this down.

[Marco Coelho]

The issue is not so much GIG-E to GIG-E.  It's when you have GiG-E to
100BaseT or GiG-E to 10BaseT Half duplex only.

Or low end unmanaged Gig-E to anything else.

[WISPA] Internet Censorship bill dead... for now. (DNS Nazis)

[Marco Coelho]

http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/11/20/1437259/Oregon-Senator-Stops-Internet-Censorship-Bill

I'm really surprised a Democrat was the killer of this bill I thought
the lawyers, movie, and music industry owned them...

Maybe they missed a payment?

(no flames required  both sides are beholding, I just launched on one of
them this time).

[WISPA] I must have angered the Power Supply Gods

[Marco Coelho]

Is is just me or are others having serious power supply issues the last two
months?

I've lost 6 APC Smart UPS 1500 (5 bad batts, 1 Failed unit).  We change
batteries every two years as a preventative measure.
1 Cisco 12000 Power Supply (never seen one of these fail)
3 Server Power supplies

These have all failed at different locations, power grids, etc.  No pattern.
I'm tired of this nonsense.  I'm going to burn a virgin power supply in the
yard tonight as a sacrifice!
I may even include a Cuban Cigar and some Bourbon.

Re: [WISPA] I must have angered the Power Supply Gods

[Marco Coelho]

Nothing, and I repeat nothing will stop a REAL direct lightning strike
(other than multiple feet of spark gap).

All you can do is best practice and a little bit more for critical circuits.

All this stuff though has been during good weather.  No spikes, just day to
day.

I will burn a virgin power supply in the AM and drink a beer over it.

 No seriously, we had many power related problem this past summer, more than
 the agreegate of the entire rest of our time in business.
 Its hard to say why for sure... Whether its because a lot of the gear was
 in place for the past 7 years, and it was time (EOL) or whether the weather
 was changing for the worse. The storms were bad.(maybe global warming). Then
 I started thinking, maybe it was just becoming time for the power company,
 after reading arcticles that they were not adequately maintaining their
 infrastructure.

 But regardless of the cause, as one's company grows, it become more and
 more important to stay on top of power protection and adding redundancy.
 BAsed on the severity of electrical attacks we've seen, the single basic
 SOHO APC solution doesn't cut it any more.

 I've had some cases where multiple power protection devices in-line all got
 compromised. For example, a highend battery inverter, a standard cabnet UPS
 downstream, and router power supply in the rack all get killed at once, and
 that was with an additional high KA surge arrester in the panel itself, and
 everything common grounded. What else could I have done?

 I thought I'd share a little information.  We have our own tower
 climbers.  We are often working in remote areas where we provide service.
 In one of those rare moments when I have time to think, I wondered what
 kinds of high-angle rescue capabilities the fire departments around us had.


 Here's what I found out:  NONE
 The closest high-angle rescue units are in at least 1 hour away.  If you
 have an injured climber, 1 hour may be too much.

 We now have 1000' of 5/8 rescue rope, and a Fisk Descender in house.  We
 are also actively working with a couple of the local fire departments to get
 them and us properly certified.

 Just a thought as many of us work out in the sticks!  You don't want an
 untrained person lowering you off a tower with their pickup truck and 1/4
 twine.

 Be safe.

[WISPA] PPPoE Termination point -- NOC or Tower

[Marco Coelho]

We're at another growth milestone and are evaluating some network changes.
We are planning on doubling our network footprint this next quarter.

Currently, we terminate all PPPoE connections at a main NOC.  This has shown
some limitations as time has gone on.  They are manageable, but it would be
better not having to deal with.

We are looking into installing small servers at each tower and just running
OSPF between that tower and our NOCs.  This would tend to make cpe
connections more robust as packet loss due to interference caused by a
clueless or unscrupulous competitor would not leave the customers linksys
router lost.

What are are the general opinions here on this?

If tower site termination is the norm, what hardware (extended temp range)
are you using at the towers?

Microtik or other software?

 Hi all,

 Got a situation that I think a lot of you all probably deal with as
 well. We have a service SUV with a roof rack that we use to transport a
 28' extension ladder (14' in stored position). We use two straps to
 secure the ladder and that method has served us well for years. The
 problem is that it takes several minutes to do and not every one on our
 staff knows the proper way to fully secure the ladder with this method.

 Ultimately, I'm trying to find a quicker, easier way to secure this
 ladder to the roof rack. Some type of clamping system instead of passing
 straps through the rack and the ladder rungs would be great. I didn't
 know if any of you had a method or product you'd recommend, but I
 haven't found anything concrete yet after some Googling.

 Thanks, and feel free to reply off-list as I know this is kind of OT.

The make really good roof rack ladder mounts, complete with lock downs and

 We use bungee cords, preferably the kind with the carabiners on each

 people have caused failures so far.
