Re: [WISPA] Fw: [WISPA FCC] FCC 3650 band response today..
Mike, I would love to see a bunch of MT-based certified systems out there because the pricing would be right and it would help many WISPs deploy Part-15 compliant (legal) systems but there is no easy road because before MT-based systems can be made compliant, the software has to be modified so the end-user (the WISP or whoever) can not configure the system to use frequencies too near the band edge or at excessive power or at excessive power that exceeds the FCC regulations. In short, we need a MT-version (or versions) that limit operation to the FCC frequency domain. So far (I appealed directly to John Tully with no response) they haven't indicated any interest in providing a "custom" "US/FCC" version of their software. Mikrotik (and the entire WISP industry) is S.O.O.L until either MT comes through on this issue of some software guru customizes and sub-licenses an FCC version of MT. To just assume that this is going to happen is assuming too much. Legal MT-based systems are not necessarily going to be available "within a few months". We all need to start requesting MT to offer an FCC-only version of their software. Further, if/when MT starts offering FCC software, anyone using the proper combination of A-B-C components will not automatically become compliant. Whoever gets the FCC grant for that combination (and it would be nice if some smart US-based company would get this grant) must still give approval to anyone else to use their certification/grant. If you (for example) get the grant, I can not just "sponge" off of your grant because I use the same components. I need your permission to use your grant for my equipment or else I have to get my own grant. A bunch of WISPs could get together and collectively get a grant, each pay a share of the costs and designate one of them as the grantee holder who would then give each of them authorization to use the grant.

I am aware that there was talk of that and maybe even a business in the works around it, but it is too early to say that in any certain time frame it will be a non-issue... Unless you are making an announcement (or someone is). And I highly doubt certification will be retroactive to whatever roo-tenna or tupperware box or whatever that people have been making "systems" out of prior to then. Don't get me wrong- I will be GLAD to see someone get MT certified.

Doug Ratcliffe wrote: Actually, they have implemented a CSMA/CA bypass on their new 3.0 beta versions, using their NStreme Polling protocol. Cool. GPS Sync has been very high up on their list, however, the issue at the moment is that conventional serial GPS units lack the necessary timing precision for anything other than raw timesync. I can see where that would be the case 4800 baud is not going to be more accurate enough for a TDM system which is running "fine" slices. "Fat" time slices would work if you limited the number of systems you were willing to negotiate sync with. You wouldn't get too much waste using a less than optimal clock that way. What accuracy are they seeing on serial GPS systems? That said, I can't see why they couldn't sync based on ethernet broadcast packets (lets say, the master radio sends a signal to the slave radios to transmit). That would only work on a per-tower basis, but a master GPS sync could sync up on a lesser precision basis, more often, allowing all the towers to stay fairly in sync. If you only had one clocking unit in the network the network would not need GPS sync. The hardware clock on the clocking unit would be accurate enough. The clocking unit could broadcast sync to all associated units. This would probably require a star topology but it would work just fine, especially if you used GPS to tell each unit how far it was from the master clock so that it could account for RF propagation delay. -m- -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

Re: [WISPA] Fw: [WISPA FCC] FCC 3650 band response today..
Well, in 2.4 there is room for another channel or two. I believe that most WISPs survive because there is no or little competition. In a couple years, 2 or 3 meg services won't be sufficient and WISPs will have to deliver that. Besides, bigger pipes come cheaper per meg, lowering your per customer costs. 802.11b channels 1, 6, and 11 aren't going to cut it and 120* sectors allow for too much potential interference. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: "Doug Ratcliffe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'WISPA General List'" Sent: Friday, June 08, 2007 9:45 AM Subject: RE: [WISPA] Fw: [WISPA FCC] FCC 3650 band response today..

Is there a downside to GPS sync? Scriv You have never seen a compelling argument because there is not one. Motorola definitely goes in the right direction here. Why? Because a good TDM system can be designed to use the entire band *and* share that entire band with any other operator in the area. Nobody does this at this time but lets do a "what if"... What if there was a band like 900 (902-928) and it could be modulated as WiFi modulates 2.4 and it was TDM like Moto. Total band capacity would be about 54 MBits/Sec maybe a bit more. Now if it was GPS based TDM the AP radios could negotiate time slots such that the larger ISP would get more band width than the smaller ISP, separate encryption keys would allow these two users of the band to share it without being able to violate each other's network integrity. Ooopppsss! A new operator enters the TDM network and guess what, he gets what he needs. The APs negotiate that. The problem is when the spectrum is truly full. A new guy takes from everyone. Such a system is easily within the existing expertise envelope. I am with you, TDM simply rocks for it's spectral efficiency. There are complications but those are engineering complications. I'll touch them because they are an interesting problem. First RF travels at the speed of light and when everyone is on the GPS clock and the same frequency they also need to know *where* everyone else is to efficiently allocate time slots so the APs on different networks have to communicate and negotiate bandwidth allocation. That would have to be done based upon need. The AP would have to discuss it's needed spectrum with other APs who are also using the same spectrum and there would have to be some consensus generated in the geographic space which would fairly allocate time slots. It can be done. It would be fair and it would work quite well. I would very much like to see something like this done in 700 MHz because the big players would absolutely *HATE* it for it's fairness to the small players. -m- Mike Hammett wrote: How difficult is it to engineer sectors with greater isolation?

Re: [WISPA] Fw: [WISPA FCC] FCC 3650 band response today..
The downside was at the time when radios could not transmit the capacity the end users needed. Syncing does not allow the full capacity of a single half duplex radio to be used in what ever direction needed, which is possible in a non-synced half duplex system. In low bandwdith systems, such as < 10 mbps generation PtMP systems. This was always the benefit of Trango, that allowed Trango to be used for higher ARPU systems than Canopy. Non-Sync was about geting maximum speed out of a SINGLE radio. This is key, because it let WISPs spend less money, to serve custoemrs with more capacity. Understanding that in the earlier days it was IMPOSSIBLE to predict what percentage of bandwidth you might need in each direction, at time of cell site design. Now as the industry changes, and grows, the noise floor grows with it, and applications that are used on our service also change. Things like VOIP start to require the FullDuplex mentality. And as noise grows, and our capiol and finace with it, we now have the abilty to convert to syncing systems, where avoidance of noise, and reuse of channels becomes a bigger advantage than the non-sync systems previously offered.

RE: [WISPA] Fw: [WISPA FCC] FCC 3650 band response today..
Disagree about Moto having it right. Most systems use GPS sync -- it is not innovation on their end. It WOULD be nice to have some standard idea about how to interface sync with dissimilar systems. No downside but cost. Problem is though, in the case of 3650 you can sync all you want, but then the next guy comes in and you have to redo your plan, and then do it again, and again, and again. Everyone coming in has the power now to compel everyone else to come to the table, but the rules does not say what cooperation is actually required and what is enough.
