 Now, I thought it was for something else and now is license lite. Is
 this a band we share with hams?

Re: [WISPA] 3650 MHz permission letters?

You have to contact who manages the Satellite Earth Station and they 
usually have an application and various forms to fill out.  If you're 
dealing with SES Americom, have fun.  I don't know of one that they have 
approved.

[WISPA] Ubiquiti

2011-07-06 Thread Pat Nix
We are starting to notice an evident limitation with ubiquiti's polling
method.  It seems that when we have more than about 15 or so subs on an AP
(M2) we start seeing extremely low upload from the sub (100-300mbps) even
when the sub has almost perfect signal -40db.  AP are running 10Mhz wide
channel width and are running AirMax.  Is anyone familiar with this issue
and is there some kind of workaround.  We are looking at deploying some
M3.65 equipment but are leery if we are going to have the same problem.  Any
thoughts?

Re: [WISPA] chipset vs standard based beam forming?

2010-10-27 Thread Pat O'Connor
A good primer on 802.11n.  Beamfroring starts at page 6.





Brough Turner wrote:
 As Mike points out, beamforming is an optional part of the 802.11n 
 standard and there is at least some silicon support for this option 
 emerging (more on that in a moment).  The confusion arises because 
 there are several different things which are legitimately called 
 beamforming. 

 The simplest is a switched beamformer in which there are multiple 
 directional antenna elements and the radio is connected to the 
 appropriate elements as needed.  This is what Ruckus Wireless does 
 today.  They have 12 or more fixed elements and on a frame-by-frame 
 basis they decide which two of those elements to connect to the two 
 terminals on the Atheros (2x2 MIMO) Wi-Fi chip.  A bunch of people 
 have patents here, but the ideas are very old so the patents may not 
 be very valuable.

 Next is phased array beamformers.  Here there are multiple simple 
 antenna elements typically equally spaced in an array.  Phase delays 
 are introduced so, via constructive and destructive interference, you 
 end up with a beam.  Then that beam is steered by varying the phase 
 delays.  This is also well established technologies that the military 
 have been using for (many) decades.

 Finally, in MIMO systems, maximal-ratio-combining (MRC) is doing 
 receive beamforming in as much as the computation is equivalent to 
 placing the maximum receive lobe as close to the desired signal while 
 placing nulls as close as possible to the primary interferers.

 While the widespead 2x2 MIMO chips are primarily used for horizontal 
 and vertical polarization, 3x3 and 4x4 MIMO chips are emerging.  With 
 4x4 we can expect to see transmit beamforming via phasing and receive 
 beamforming via MRC.  Indeed, two silicon startups, Quantenna 
 Communications in California and Celeno Wireless in Israel, have 
 announced Wi-Fi chips that support 4x4 MIMO with transmit 
 beamforming.  The Quantenna chip is used in the Netgear WNHDB3004.

 The 802.11n standard specifies how the needed information is passed, 
 so the computations that Quantenna and Celeno (and others in the 
 future) do can be carried out when devices from different vendors 
 interoperate.

 Brough

 In the IEEE 802.11n draft standard, beamforming is adopted as an 
 optional feature to improve signal reception and simplify receiver design.

 Beamforming is available in 802.11N, though I don't know of any products 
 using that standard.

 Rogelio,

 Please don't take this the wrong way. You are trying to understand a
 very complex 'patented' technology via a very simplistic understanding.

 Beam forming is a very complex (lots of analytical analysis done on a
 real time basis)  technology, there are a number of Masters  PHD Thesis
 papers on this topic that you can find by Googling.

 There is no 'chipset' for it Each of the folks you mention utilize
 'internally  developed' patented techniques of applying the 'Beam
 Forming concept. so there is no 'standard' the chipset are simple
 transmitters and signal processors  (math units..)

 The beam forming technology works in both direction (sending
 receiving). There is no such thing as a 'omni' beam forming
 antenna.  The antenna pattern is dynamically changed to focus / lock on
 to the signal of the CPE that the AP is talking to.

 Plus, there is NO 'Beam Forming Standard...and don't expect one in the
 future. since it is more of a 'type of antenna design' and not a
 'defined formula'.

 I see lots of discussion about the new 802.11n standard supporting
 beam forming, and I'm trying to wade through the chipset ones (e.g.
 Ruckus, Extricom, Meru, etc) and other solutions that claim to be more
 standards based.

 
  From what I gather from the marketing literature, the various vendor
   
 solutions direct the signal more efficiently towards specific
 targets (focusing beam in certain direction, monitoring interference,
 interference nulling, etc), but that seems to have limited
 effectiveness when it comes to receiving transmitted packets from the
 client end (resulting in slow uplink?).  In some of these cases, the
 receive antennas are just an omni antenna. (802.11 is not a timing
 based protocol, so I don't see how beamforming benefits on the receive
 side will ever happen)

 So is the best that we can hope for with beam forming is faster
 download but the same old upload?  How will the standard (once baked
 in more vendor gear) do things differently?

In my experience Tranzeo and UBNT don't play nice together.  If you 
don't mind switching out your tranzeo CPE's with UBNT gear you'll be fine.


Steve Barnes wrote:

 All my APs are Mikrotik. My CPE’s are a mix of Tranzeo and UBNT.   I 
 have a AP with 58 Clients on it and starting to get complaints about 
 slowdowns.  They are all setup 10 MHz channel 802.11g.  This is a 
 tower that due to contractual issues I cannot add anymore equipment.  
 So I am considering taking down the Mikrotik and 120 degree sector and 
 putting up a UBNT Rocket and Airmax 120 sector.  It will take time to 
 physically switch all my clients to new UBNT Airmax equipment but 
 would like to get it done before the snow flies. 

  

 Has anyone down this?  Success?  I know I cannot turn on Airmax till 
 everyone is on the UBNT with that capability but does it work fine 
 till you get it on?

 So, as I said since the Broadband Stimulus act was passed, the money
 will be wasted. Qwest just applied for $467 MILLION dollars to upgrade
 their DSL infrastructure in my coverage areas. They want to expand and
 upgrade the slower 7meg connections to go up to 12 to 40 megabytes
 per second.

 The article says they will increase coverage to 29,922 new customers.
 That's an average cost of $15,607 PER CUSTOMER.

 Many of the areas they list (Idaho Falls, Rexburg, Ammon, Blackfoot,
 Rigby, Shelley, etc.) already have at least 3 providers and some have 4
 or 5 provider choices.

Re: [WISPA] Tech support: Windows XP Blue Screen of Death

Scotch Lock each pair together.  Wrap two pairs around the main wire in 
one direction, and two in the other direction.  Cover with a RG-11 coax  
splice boot.  It's filled with non-conductive gel.

 Must use Mastic underneith, and UV on top. Must overlap 1/4 and position it 
 like a shingle, so water does not run into seam but away from it. The 
 underlayer must be stretched tight. Must extend tape to far edges w/ atleast 
 1 on cable side. Must avoid creating air pockets. Must have tape layers 
 thick enough, atleast 1/8 deep or more.

 It also helps big time to use Scotch coat, as a third outer layer. We ahve 
 never had a a seal fail that we had used scotchcoat. We rarely use Scotch 
 coat anymore because its gooey and hard to work with to brush on. But its 
 worth using for critical back hauls that you never want to have to touch

 Heat shrink doesn't work in the cold.  It will get hard (the glue) and as

 NOTHING works better than self vulcanizing rubber tape.

 If what you use is easy to get off it's not a good tight seal.

 It sure can't be that hard to build a connector that seals without the

 broadband wireless systems in the 3.65 GHz band in the US, with the goal 
 to discuss the current license exempt rules, some of the coexistence

 I encourage any interested operators (or vendors) to contact Keith Doucet,

[WISPA] How are you handling VOIP services over WiFi?

2009-10-06 Thread pat
I haven't  been able to find much in the way of white papers for 
information regarding VOIP over WiFi.  If someone could share some info

[WISPA] 3.65GHz Grandfathered satellite earth stations

Anybody else having any luck with these people.  They're trying to tell 
me I might have to clear all my customer sites for a proposed WiMax

 I would assume that you could use this method to calculate the safe distance
 for operating at 3.65GHz and present it to the FCC and the FSS earth station
 operator.

 I will need to do this for my WiMAX deployment which will have two mountain
 ranges between the WiMAX network and the earth station.

They sent our site information for the base stations to Comsearch for an 
RF analysis so they have a map.

They also have a map of my customer locations, none of which point in 
their direction. 

I also have a mountain range that goes from around 5000 feet to 7000 
feet in elevation between me and them.

They have the product information sheets for the antennas at the 
client's sites.

 One of the things I've done in the spam war is to use something called ASSP,

 You can use a similar setup to have your customer's emails filtered outbound 
 through something like this.It can also be placed on alternate ports and 
 using firewall rules, prevent any cust omer from sending mail directly out.

 I haven't needed to do that, at least not yet.

 ASSP, when run on the mail server machine itself, can also act as an 
 authentication and filtering of outbound emails.

 Subject: [WISPA] OT, pesky email stuff


   
 Hi All,

 What are you guys doing for email these days?  I LOVE my setup for it's
 reliability, ease of use etc.

 Hacked customer accounts and virus's are killing me though.  We don't 
 catch
 things until 100,000s of messages go out and we get black listed.  This 
 has
 now happened 3 or 4 times in the last couple of years.

 My server admins aren't coming up with a solution to this other than to
 limit cc's to 25 per message.  We did that once before and my phone rang 
 off
 the hook because people can't send jokes to their friends.

 The other thing that makes it hard is that the log files that I get (up to
 40 megs per day!) don't list the authenticated sender, only the reply
 address.  So I see tens of thousands of messages from a user that's not 
 even
 mine (faked info).  sigh

 We use Courier MTA.

 My thought is to set the server to allow a max of 1000 messages per day 
 per
 user.  And to somehow make the log file ONLY send me the number of 
 messages
 received per a user, and the number sent, user name and ip addy of all 
 those
 sending.  Twice now I've asked about that idea and gotten no response from
 the server admins.

 Suggestions?

 laters,
 marlon

Re: [WISPA] 3.65GHz Exclusion Zone

It is being 150km form the grandfathered earth station.  I'm going 
through the same thing right now getting an agreement from them to 
operate WiMax gear.  BTW I'm at a 145km distance from them, but the FCC 
won't register my base stations without an agreement.

 Okay I'm banging my head against the wall a bit this morning J

  

 Subpart Z of the FCC Part 90 Rules - Wireless Broadband Serices in the
 3650-3700 MHz Band - Section 90.1331 states:

  

 (a)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, base and
 fixed stations may not be located within 150 km of any grandfathered
 satellite earth station operating in the 3650-3700 MHz band. The coordinates
 of these stations are available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/sd/3650;

  

 My interpretation of that rule would mean that you need to draw a circle of
 a radius of 150Km from each station, and this is your exclusion zone.

  

 Yet many maps on the web show this 150Km requirement as diameter. not as a
 radius.

  

 Our office would be outside of the exclusion zone if it is a diameter
 requirement, yet inside the exclusion zone if it is a radius requirement.

  

 Can anyone point me to something from the FCC that specifies what the
 requirement is?

  

 Thank you,

 So the recent thread on Wimax was quite interesting. I need to read up

 deployment is sufficient for many many many needs and markets (wireless 
 local loop if you will). If people want mobility/end user wireless they 
 can hang an 802.11 AP off the ethernet port of whatever CPE. Wimax 
 directly to the end device doesn't make much sense to me, in most 
 markets and use cases. Obviously if you are supporting a highly mobile 
 workforce (say public sector type stuff) then it makes a lot more sense.

 It got me thinking... if one was a new WISP entering an un(der)served 
 market, it seems that it would not make sense to deploy standard 802.11 
 gear, but rather Wimax gear in 3650Mhz. Is this an accurate assessment?

 One particular area that I'm targeting, doesn't have any broadband 
 available (other then 3g from Verzion). So they would need to purchase 
 CPE anyway, and it wouldn't be anything they could get from Best Buy 
 (DSL or Cable modem).

 I'm in the process of negotiating access to the excluded areas (in 
 Southern California), but it's been slow going. Once I gain access it 
 will open up many areas to some sorely needed competition.

 So who are the vendors in this space worth considering?
 What are peoples experiences with the sales process (both pre and post 
 sales engineering)

Marlon I checked the map, and like me, Odessa is within the 150km 
satellite exclusion zone for the station located in Brewster.  From what 
I've read you need to get their permission to operate anything in the 
3.65GHz spectrum.  I just applied for our 3.65GHz licnse so I haven't 
heard anything yet.  If you want I have a .kmz file I can send you with

 would work with an omni. I know everybody says don't use an omni, but
 maybe it would be OK on 3.65?

 I was curious because most of my grain legs would max out at 20
 customers (due to trees). And I certainly wouldn't want to buy three
 sectors just to support 20 houses.

 They do have a starter kit that includes two(?) customer radios for
 free.  I'm out of money for testing things, but let us know if you try
 it.

 PS - they can sync multiple base stations from a central server.

 I'm looking into this too.

 So far I can't find a solution for rural towers.  A 3 sector install

 $20k?  Not to service the 20 people that will be able to even see that
 tower

 Anyone have any better ideas?

[WISPA] Has anybody received a 3.65GHz license in a satellite exclusion zone?

2009-03-16 Thread Pat O'Connor
I fall just on the edge of one.  I wanted to know what others have 
experienced in this regard.

Thanks,

Pat

Re: [WISPA] NS2 and EOC-2610

2009-03-04 Thread Pat O'Connor
I saw the same results a month ago when I bought a few of the EOC-2610.  
Make sure you're using the latest firmware.

That problem went away after I flashed them, and they work great.

 Some interesting results from a side by side comparison of these radios...

 ubquity NS2
 firmware XS2.ar2316.v3.1.1.3498.080725.1324
 ap sees radio at -77
 radio sees ap at -76

 EnGenius EOC-2610
 firmware 1.0.30
 ap sees radio at -76
 radio sees ap at -89

 Transfer rates are within 5% of each other
 Error rate is within 1%

 a couple of older radios I had on hand, hooked to an 9db patch, 
 mounted in the same place as the NS2/EOC-2610, reported rssi values 
 within 3 db or the NS2.

 Looks like the reported rssi on the EOC-2610 is off quite a bit.

 Comments?

[WISPA] Anybody use Aperto for 3.65GHz? I'd like to know what you think.

2009-02-20 Thread Pat O'Connor
We're looking to deploy 3.65GHz this year in a couple of different 
locations because of interference issues.  So far they have the most 
compelling price point.  I'd like to know how well it works in the 
field.  All opinions appreciated.  Hit me off list if you want to.\

Thanks,

Pat

[WISPA] 5.8GHz Backhaul Radio Recommendations

2009-01-08 Thread Pat O'Connor


Andrews Antenna P3F-52-NXA

5.8GHz backhaul radio died today because of a power surge.  Old Proxim 
gear, 2 x T1.  I wanted some feedback from vendors/users of what they 
are using.  I need to keep it under $5K if possible.

Link distance: 8.3 miles

Antennas: Andrews P3F-52-NXA

[WISPA] Is there a minimum distance an amplifier has to be placed from a DC power injector?

2008-11-07 Thread Pat O'Connor
Antennas placed at the top of a 150' tower
.5 watt amp
180' run of LDF 5/8




I'd like for both to be inside our building.  If  I don't have to place 
the amp on  the tower I don't want to, because this location gets about 
6' of snow a year.


Thanks,

Pat

I can do the 5-day class, and have the budget to travel in the Western US.

I appreciate all your responses.  Have a happy Halloween, and great weekend.

[WISPA] Does anybody have a calculator to determine antenna down angle?

2008-10-29 Thread Pat O'Connor
Yes I'm a WISP newbie.  We have an agreement with a cellular provider to 
put out antennas on their tower that is next to ours.  The tower is 
almost twice as big as the one I have now, and our gear will be located 
at the top.  I have all my elevations, and azimuths for the different 
tower locations we need to point at.  I was wondering if there was a 
calculator out there that would allow me to figure out the new down 
angles. 

Thanks,

Pat
