Re: [WISPA] Omni antenna for a rocket M900

2012-03-17 Thread Blair Davis

  
  
I am using a 'cheap' H-Pol omni, 9.5db or so, about $450, and a 9db
V-Pol omni, about 6ft tall!!!

It works... ok. 

on 900MHz , antennas are big and expensive.

I am currently looking at an 11db H-Pol omni, waveguide type...
about 11ft tall... and almost $1k with shipping.
A V-Pol 11db omni is over 11ft tall... 

I find that you can get thru about 150 yards of medium-heavy tree
cover when leafed out.

I use 14 or 17 db yagi's from TrueGain on any cpe that is below -75
when leafed out

Another thing we have learned is to use a mast and tripod when using
the 900MHz on a roof. get the antenna up away from the roof Too
much multipath otherwise...

But, don't promise too much to the clients They are not gonna
watch netflix in prime time... I tend to get about 6-8Mb/s thru the
AP... And no more than 3-4Mb/s at any one client...

I sell it as an alternative to Sat... And tell them up front to
forget netflix...

Latency is also a bit variable.

If you have a spectrum analyzer, get it up on the leg with an omni
of each type and get a day in each polarity. If the noise floor is
above -88 or so, IMO, don't use UBNT for 900MHz...

Narrow channels are, IMO, the key to 900MHz, but then you limit
thruput...

I've thrown probably $50K down the 900MHz rathole in the last 8
years.

The UBNT M900 gear is the first gear, IMO, that is cheap enough to
use in the 900MHz but still works well enough to be worth the money.


I also put up a 2.4GHz AP with a downtilted omni anywhere I do a
900MHz AP Try hard to put people on the 2.4GHz AP. 

YMMV

Our answer, for most areas now, is micro or mini POP's

We will use a 900MHz backhaul PtP to get into a location, then put
up a 2.4GHz AP for the few houses it can see.

Blair,
how is this setup working? Is this a real Option for future
deployments? I have a grain Leg that would be perfect 25
homes within a 2 mile radius, however, light to moderate
woods at 1 Mile almost 100% around the Gran leg. Backhaul
not a problem from top but without 900 I cant get 1 mile and
only 3 house.

You could always use a LocoM900 with the omni, but don't expect 
to go very far through trees but better than 2.4.

Reverse them. Put the H-pol omni on chain 0 and the V-pol on

Not sure why, but my field testing proved it.
