Re[2]: [WISPA] Initial SR9 test results
Hello KyWiFi, As someone who has many towers with 900 omni's ( and many years supporting them), this combo ( SR9 plus mikrotik/starOS/whatever) eliminates the desire to ever deploy an omni again. IMHO. Some of our most rural areas are so polluted in 900mhz, an omni just doesn't cut it. Mikrotik now needs GPS polling..

I have my eye on the PacWireless OD9-11 (http://tinyurl.com/vq7dj). With few exceptions, and omni in 900 is going to be too noisy to be very useful. There are probably some regions that this is not true for, but I'd guess they will be few and far between. I have one customer that is using the SR-9 cards in a test scenario in east Texas (on the outskirts of a large city). He tried for a month to test with a vertical omni...NO luck at all. He went to a horizontal omni without much improvement, though he could at least connect beyond the 1000 foot range. With a horizontal sector, he is getting 2-3 miles with good speeds. This band is almost impossible to work in without a spectrum analyzer. There is just too much noise around and it is not impeded by trees (at least not as much as the higher frequencies). At any rate, ymmv. -- Butch Evans Network Engineering and Security Consulting 573-276-2879 http://www.butchevans.com/ Mikrotik Certified Consultant (http://www.mikrotik.com/consultants.html) -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
Re: [WISPA] Initial SR9 test results
Was the test with 5, 10 or 20mhz channels? What was your noise floor at each test site? How was the mobile end mounted? What is the beamwidth on those antennas (or model numbers to look them up) and what elevation were each at? Any tilt on the antennas?

Re: [WISPA] Initial SR9 test results
We are using the PacWireless 11 dB yagis for our AP. We are fortunate in that we have a narrow valley so that two 11 dB yagis cover both directions very nicely. I set up and AP 42 km from my first install. It is linked at 5.8 GHz with 3 foot dishes and CM9 radios. I get -70 dB signals and it is solid. For a hoot I turned the 900 AP into a client and did a site survey and it saw and was able to link to the 900 AP 42 km away. The signal was a -76 dB and it was very usable and no packet loss. This is with near perfect LOS. The other direction had a very large group of trees to go through BUT I still saw a -84 dB signal from 20 km and it was stable and usable.

Re: [WISPA] Initial SR9 test results
Larry Yunker wrote: What antenna/cable solution are you using on the client side of the link? How far are you trying to shoot? Down in Virginia we're using a 13db (11 ele) Yagi horizontal shooting to a tower where there is a 120* hor sector antenna. Antenna pigtail connects through a double-barrel right into the radio. Any ideas? I am stumped as this should work; in one case the yagi is in the attic and the signal is horrible. We're trying to shoot from 1-6 miles or so. We did get a -65 way on the other side up in the clear when we were driving around on Thurs. Thanks leon - Original Message - From: Leon D.
