Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik Hotspot Setup
I just wanted to mention about this. It's true, Routerboards are not FCC certified. Neither are WRAP boards. But there are a lot of inexpensive, fast combo boards that are FCC certified, that fit into nice 1U/2U short rack cases that are also FCC certified, making an inexpensive, FCC modular computer certified solution. You can then use conventional ethernet AP's (FCC certified) which makes a nice solution that works well. Also a reminder that using a conventional network card from D-Link / Netgear / Linksys / Bufflao with their own certified antennas is another way to make a Mikrotik system legal in the US. Those manufacturers now have a number of outdoor antennas now. The preferred solution of 400mW cards, antennas etc... if someone would FCC certify a SR2 / SR5 / SR9 on a PCI-mPCI adapter, with a range out of outdoor antennas we could run Mikrotik AP's on conventional PC's... - Original Message - From: Dawn DiPietro [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 9:22 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik Hotspot Setup Ty, I assume you are planning to use certified gear for this.

RE: [WISPA] Mikrotik Hotspot Setup
I kind of thought the same thing, but thought he may be poking fun at him or something. I have been planning on joining WISPA this year once I can scrape up the $$ to do it but with the recent bashing of certified/non-certified solutions I am not sure it is where I want to spend my money. I have a mixed network of certified and non-certified equipment as does everyone operating in our area. One of the draws for me to join WISPA was the recent discussion of WISPA heading up a program to try to get some of the more common non-certified solutions certified. I have looked into getting my own equipment certified but if this is something that WISPA is going to do I would definitely rather spend my money to support WISPA in its efforts. Does anyone know where WISPA is at on this project and if it is moving forward?

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik Hotspot Setup
People have been saying this for quite some time.

NOW: Status of WISPA's Certification Efforts WAS: [WISPA] Mikrotik Hotspot Setup
Chadd, I would not let the sometimes intense nature of the certification discussions put you off. This is an issue with financial, emotional, and legal sides. WISP owner/operators are an intelligent bunch of individuals who have strong personalities and a need to cut to the chase in making business decisions. The need to hash out issues and to make quick and hopefully correct business decisions sometimes gives an appearance of being overly contentious but through all the discussions, useful and necessary business decisions actually do get made. IMHO, this contention is, for the most part, normal in any deliberative, decision-making process. I think you will find that a decision to join WISPA will be a decision that you will be glad you made and one that will pay you dividends. Now to answer your question about where WISPA is on the certification project. I can't officially speak for WISPA but so far I haven't seen any strong signs that WISPA is going to directly pay for the certification of equipment. My perception is that WISPA would like to help facilitate the certification process for WISPs who wish to band together to minimize their certification costs by identifying common equipment combinations and sharing the cost of getting those common combinations certified. WISPA set up a members-only Certification email list about five weeks ago to help provide certification information and coordination. Personally, I believe that WISPs should use certified equipment. I've been in this industry for 15 years now and I've worked for around 2000 license-free broadband wireless network deployment organizations, most of them WISPs. The overwhelming majority of these people want to deploy networks that 1) work and 2) are legal. Deploying a wireless network requires investing time, energy, money, hope and reputation. My feeling is that anyone who invests the time, energy, money, hope and reputation to design and deploy a legal network deserves to enjoy the satisfaction and often, the financial rewards that the network can bring them. It doesn't seem fair to me that someone could invest their time, energy, money, hope and reputation to build a network that meets the spirit of the law (operates cleanly within the legal power limits) but does not meet the letter of the law (uses equipment that doesn't have FCC certification) and then have to shut that network down. This shutdown can happen for several reasons. 1. A competitor complains (rightly or wrongly) to the FCC that you are operating outside of the FCC rules. The FCC inspects your equipment, sees that it is not certified, fines you a large amount of money and orders you to replace your equipment with certified equipment or shut down. 2. A competitor operates outside of the FCC rules themselves, for example, using too much power and trashing the band for you. You complain to the FCC. Before inspecting the other operator, the FCC inspects your equipment and finds that it is not certified. They fine you as in example 1, above. They may or may not go on to inspect the operator that you complained about. I'm sure you can think of other interference-related examples of your own. My point is that a WISP who follows the law deserves to stay on the air and reap the benefits of their time, energy, money, hope, and reputation investment. Using certified equipment seems the best way to maximize their chances of enjoying the benefits that are due them. On WISPA's Certification list we have published a certification FAQ and also published a Common Data Format to identify common WISP operator needs to allow WISPs with similar needs to get together. Action on the list is fairly slow so far. There are an average of maybe 7 or 8 posts per week. Many posters have technical questions about the legality of this or that equipment combination. So far we have about four operators who want to use Mikrotik OS on Mikrotik motherboards and about three operators who want to use Star OS on WAR motherboards. I would urge you to join WISPA and then to join the Certification list. You'll be able to add your needs as well as to coordinate with others to hopefully reduce your certification costs. jack Chadd Thompson wrote: I kind of thought the same thing, but thought he may be poking fun at him or something.
