Re: [WISPA] New Deliberant radios

2008-08-21 Thread Robert Norris
Deliberant is a good product with outstanding support.
Yes I just put so in the field so far they work fine like the 2300 radios
do. They have lot more features then the old 2300 radios did. The new units
are the same thing as Ligowave gear or the Wiligear. They need to add a few
features to the OS but nothing manger.

So true, they will be back and the ones that left only take back what you
want. If one left and always wined then it's your chance to decline service
to them. As long as your customer service is better people will return when

Travis,


   If you read in their TOS or UAP you would probably find what they call a
best effort clause. The truth of the matter is if your service is better
and your subs are leaving for what is supposed to be a faster service - -
- - they will be back. If your competitors have to resort to bald face lies
in their advertising to gain subs - then they are lying in other places as
well. We all know the old saying you can fool some of the people some of
the time, but you can never fool all the people all the time. Time will
tell on these folks and I think if you are patient (that's easy for me to
say - I understand) then time always tells its tales. Keep on doing what you
do in delivering fast internet and great service. Those subscribers won't
tarry long till they tell your competition them to come get their junk.

 Hi,
 
 This issue with ComCast and their p2p connection blocking brings up
 another issue I would like to discuss... false advertising.
 
 I have a competitor that is selling up to 4meg down by 1meg up for
 $34.95 with free installation and no contract. Another competitor is
 doing up to 2meg for $39.95... yet, when I purchased their service
 and
 did speed tests, the fastest I ever got was 500kbps. At what point is
 there a false advertising claim to be made against these companies
 that are advertising service that can NEVER been achieved at any time
 on
 their network?
 
 I would think if you did speed tests every hour, 24 hours per day for a
 week and never got within 90% of their claimed speed, there could be a
 case. The damages would be in customers that are switching from my
 service to theirs based on their advertising claims. Each customer
 should be worth at least 12x the monthly revenue based on current
 market
 values.
 
 Anyone else agree? Or am I way off base here?

RE: [WISPA] Deliberant vs. Tranzeo

2007-06-21 Thread Robert Norris
I tested the Tranzeo back in 05 and the Deliberant 2300 in 05. I ended up
going with the Deliberant 2300 radios they had more features. I have never
had to RMA a Deliberant radio. The only problem is sometimes if lighting hit
real close to the cpe it would knock out the nic side of the radio and 20
dollar surge protector cures that. I did RMA 1 Tranzeo and when I got it
back it looked like they tied it to a rope and drug it across the road a
time or 2. That I complained about to the sales rep he said send it back and
they would look at it. I didn't send it back and just used it for a test cpe
since it looked bet to heck. They never told me why the one I sent back went
back. The one they sent me worked good if you only wanted a bridge with no
qos.

Caleb and Hal at Deliberant are great for support, and they do have a good
product. I have the 2300 units in the field that I have not touched in
almost 2 years nor changed the firmware on.

Nothing stops direct hits.  A spark that traveled through miles of air 
isn't really going to care what else is between it and the ground. 

Good ground is the lifesaver for nearby hits that induce wild voltages.

And following the code is always best for the health and safety of the 
people.

 On my desktop PC, lightening apparently came in through the cable, through

 replaced the modem and bought a PCI Ethernet card and it's fine.  What

 lightening took in this incident or the above incident is anyone's guess.

 There is still controversy over the value of diverting or directing
 lightening and/or lightening leaders and streamers to protect against a
 direct hit.

 It's really fascinating and here's a fun place to start you thinking:

 If properly grounded, the opposite is true.  The ground wire should 
 direct the lightning to ground (hence the name) and away from your 
 equipment.

 Not to mention that in the case of an equipment failure that causes the 
 power supply to put 120VAC on the case, etc., the ground wire directs 
 the current to ground, not you.  It is always about safety.  I would 
 much rather have dead equipment than dead personnel because an 
 electrical system was not properly grounded.

 Neither is low voltage in same conduit at 120VAC.

 That said, small changes to Dennis' configuration will make good
 installation.

 Run the cat5 in a separate (metallic) pipe (rigid, EMT, Sealtite,
 whatever you like).  Ground the bottom of the pipe.  I would leave the
 top ungrounded, but that is:
1) personal preference (eliminates ground loops).
2) determined by which way gives you the best performance, least
 interference from the FM.
 You may want to use cat5e or cat6 as the twist is tighter, thus
 accepting less interference as well.

 Run a ground wire with the power.  Even for the low current required at
 the top, I would probably run 14AWG or 12AWG. Lowers the inductance, may
 allow less noise to be induced on the power leads.   Besides, 14AWG is
 the smallest wire you can run with a 15amp breaker.  Same thing with
 ground loops; I would probably use a plastic box and thus isolate the
 power ground from the enclosure, tower, etc.

 One good way to do it is consult a local commercial/industrial
 electrician.  They will know the code for your area.  But they don't
 always understand radio and induced voltages.

I am sorry but as I mentioned above I can not see from the outside

enough attention, I don't know.

I'll just mention TWO examples.  Direct $ for $ examples, too.  You 
may not be using these services, but they answer the question, and 
both were posted right here on this list.

1. Kris Twomey (even now) is selling the legal service of doing the 
filing for CALEA at $100 (or $125...I can't recall) for WISPA 
members.  He charges $250 to do it for NON WISPA members.  That is a 
direct $125 (worst case) savings.  If you use this service, the 
real cost of a WISPA membership is $125.

2. Frank Muto sells an email filtering service (Postini) and has 
offered to pay for your full WISPA membership with the purchase of 
some level of service with him.  I can't recall the specific 
details, but his offer makes WISPA membership absolutely free.

Those are just 2 examples, both of which were posted right here on 
this free list.

Looking from the outside it doesn't always appear that the ORG is 
able to uphold the code of ethics. This is mainly based off of 
discussions held on the freelist. I see comments from members, 
officers of the ORG that I feel do not uphold the above listed 
items from the code of ethics.

I'd really like to understand what you see that makes this a true 
statement.

Again please read this as an outsider looking in, trying to 
understand what WISPA has going on or as done for our industry and 
what the value is for me to join. I am not saying WISPA is not 
doing or has not done anything for our industry. I just need some 
help understanding.

I am not gonna sell you the organization.  But I will work on 
answering this a little.

1. WISPA is right now working on a standard that will make CALEA 
safe harbor VERY INEXPENSIVE for WISPs.  Not just members.  This is 
an INDUSTRY solution.

2. WISPA has been urging WISPs to file the 477 forms, which is 
important because it will make us, as an industry, a larger portion 
of the broadband deployment in the US (statistically) as far as the 
government is concerned.  Why is this important?  Besides being the 
law, government is working to insure that every American has access 
to broadband.  If we are providing that service in an area and they 
don't know about it, they will still work on a way to get that 
access available.

3. WISPA has urged (on several occasions) WISPs to file comments on 
various spectrum issues that would be beneficial to WISPs.  WISPA 
has (as an organization) filed comments as well.  Because we don't 
have the $$ to hire a lobby, this is the best effort in this regard.

Now it's time to ask YOU what YOU have done for our industry.  Have 
you filed comments on the issues that will impact your business? 
For the most part, over the past couple of years WISPA has.  Have 
you filed your 477?

If you're not going to join, then just don't join.  Stop making 
excuses about what are you doing...You claim to be on the list 
since the beginning and you can't see what's been happening?  What 
advantage does WISPA offer you?  Give me a break.  WISPA has done a 
LOT, considering the $$ that they have to work with.  Either join or 
don't, but stop acting as though you need to be sold because you 
can't find anything on the website giving you what the value of 
WISPA is.

FWIW, I do agree that WISPA needs to do a better job of selling 
itself on the website, but the point (in your case) is that you are 
just using it as an excuse, IMO.

 Mark,

 Just build yourself a 1gig VIA PC.  Simple, easy, or grab yourself 
 something
 faster, such as a standard HP PC etc, The simplest thing would be to grab 
 a
 64meg IDE Flash card with MT loaded, else, you can load it up on a HD if 
 you
 wish!

 I need more horsepower at one router site.

 It's got a MT RB532 (233MHz/32MB) and it is pegging at 100% at times, 
 mostly

 in the 85% range, though.  The location has a 19 rack (only about 18 
 deep,

 though).  Need 8 FastEthernet ports.  No wireless.  Want to user Mikrotik
 RouterOS.

 Can anyone recommend a box for this?

 Thanks.

Did a little research on Mikrotik and number of MT RB44 nic cards used. Here
is the link.

This is my main distribution point, 1 wireless hop away from my main POP.

270 wireless units all in bridge mode + customer PC/Router routing through 
it.  All 8 ethernet ports are routing, not using bridging.  Using RIP 
between MT routers across wireless links at remote WiPOPs.

 What are you doing with the RB532 to make it load so much?

 Possible to use a PC with 512 to 1 gig ram, 3.0 cpu, 2 MT RB44 ethernet
 boards (this would give you 8 etherports) and Mikrotik OS level 5 or 6.

 Does it have to be a rack mount? Or can you mount it on a shelf installed 
 in
 the rack. A mini case would fit in that space.

 Mine is working great with a hundred + customers, it's got a 3.0 intel cpu
 on an asus motherboard, 512 ram, mini tower case, with 1 RB44 4 port nic
 card, running QOS, Firewall rules, and everything else to go with routing.
 No hard drive, has cd rom and the only moving part is case fan and cpu 
 fan.

 Robert
