Re: [WISPA] POE powered POE Splitter with Switch?
They are Leviton and they work fine for our applications, but I'm looking forward to not having to have the pigtails and being able to plug and unplug directly. Cameron Cool. Those look like Home Depot ethernet jacks you're using to attach to the pigtails. How are they working out for you? Greg On Mar 16, 2010, at 5:31 PM, cc...@dot11net.com wrote: Greg, We build one of these for internal use (posted about it last week), but ours is a passive device that needs an external switch. We use it in combination with a 493 or 493ah on tower tops. It takes any input voltage from 18-96 volts and outputs the same input voltage on 9 ports with two of the ports switchable between the input voltage and 12 V. Why only two ports? Well, to make it cheap enough, the voltage convertor we use only outputs about 1 amp so running more than 2 devices would probably not work. The voltage convertors we use are about $40 each so putting one on each jack would make the device pretty expensive. I'm sure we could design a power supply that would do everything we want, but since we aren't in the electronics mfg. business, it would be more costly that it is worth to us. With our next run, we will be making the board look a little different with two rows of ethernet jacks on the front of the board facing out instead of up/down. We find that getting the cables out of the jacks in the current config can be a PITA (hence the pigtails in the pics). The devices are about $150 in parts as they stand to make in small quanitites. I posted last week about it because I wanted to see if I could use some simple ICs to detect ethernet signal to trip a power relay to make a remote power cycle by disabling the ethernet port. Further research shows this is not possible without a PHY chip. I'll try to post a pic of one of our tower top boxes, but if it doesn't make it and you want to see it, hit me offlist. If you think it would be a big seller and you want to make an investment, I'm sure we could come to an agreement ;). Cameron Does anyone know of or use a POE powered POE splitter/switch combo which could be tower mounted which would allow a single ethernet cable carrying POE (perferrably 48v) up the tower, and then would pass POE (adjustable voltages) to multiple devices and also act as a switch (preferably managed)? I'm thinking of something that would let a person run a single Ethernet up the tower and then connect multiple POE powered devices. It seems like this is something that would be a big hit.

Where it isn't redundant it isn't really providing functionality that would help last mile access in the projects I've looked at.

Re: [WISPA] how to compete with $15 DSL
My bandwidth provider is an example of someone who decided to become that provider neutral middle mile. Not the only game in town, but he's definitely made a huge difference in the ability of a lot of smaller ISP's to become competitive, and he's making decent money, to boot. In my area, it's the cost of transport that's the real cost of bandwidth. I get calls from various providers looking to sell me anywhere from 10 to 30 bucks/meg, but there's no way to cost effectively transport it, due to the long distances. Basically, my provider charges about the same for transport as he does for bandwidth, and his connectivity is pretty good. I've gotten prices from pretty much every b/w provider around over the years, including those that own their own fiber, and he beats them all - not so much due to the cost/meg, but they have enormous colo fees, or insist I buy a local loop to get it to me. There will always be pitfalls to trying to force someone to sell you a service at less than they want to... Best option is for someone to become a regional middle mile like my provider is. ++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++ -- From: Charles N Wyble char...@www.knownelement.com Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 4:04 PM To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Subject: Re: [WISPA] how to compete with $15 DSL Bret Clark wrote: Bingo...we have a winner!

Health care isn't the only policy arena in which the Obama Administration aims to ram through controversial new rules. The Federal Communications Commission is set to unveil a national broadband plan opposed by industry and without any of the five commissioners voting on it. Last year, Congress directed the FCC to develop a plan to make high-speed Internet available to more people. But given that 95% of Americans already have access to some form of broadband-and 94% can choose from at least four wireless carriers-rapid broadband deployment is already occurring without new government mandates. Since 1998, the FCC has classified broadband as an information service subject to less regulation than traditional telecom services. The Supreme Court's Brand X decision in 2005 validated that classification, and the upshot has been more investment, innovation and competition among Internet service providers, all to the benefit of consumers. In 2009 alone, broadband providers spent nearly $60 billion on their networks. Absent any evidence of market failure, the best course for the FCC is to report back to Congress that a broadband industrial policy is unnecessary. Instead, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski is moving to increase the reach of his agency and expand government control of the Web. Among other things, he wants broadband services reclassified so the FCC can more heavily regulate them. The national broadband plan, to be unveiled tomorrow, will call for using the federal Universal Service Fund to subsidize broadband deployment. The USF currently subsidizes phone service in rural areas, and Mr. Genachowski knows that current law prevents it from being used to subsidize broadband unless broadband is reclassified as a telecom service. Congress ought to be wary of letting the FCC expand its jurisdiction through back doors like this. Mr. Genachowski wants more control over broadband providers so that he can implement net neutrality rules that would dictate how ATT, Verizon and other Internet service providers manage their networks. To date, Congress has given the FCC no such authority. Nor has the agency had success in court. Based on oral arguments last month, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals is almost certain to rule against the FCC in a case involving Comcast's network management. At the urging of liberal advocacy groups like Free Press and Public Knowledge, Mr. Genachowski also wants to use the national broadband plan as a vehicle for returning to the bad old 1990s era of open access regulations. He recommends forcing major broadband providers like Time Warner Cable and Qwest to share their high-speed networks with smaller competitors at federally set rates. We can't think of a better way to reduce capital investment and slow the build-out of high-speed networks. Mr. Genachowski's proposals are meeting resistance from telecom companies and fellow commissioners, which is reason enough to put his broadband plan to an agency vote. Instead, the chairman is urging his colleagues to sign a general statement that endorses the goals of the plan and ignores the details. Instead of risking a split vote among the five regulators on approving the plan, reports National Journal, Genachowski is seeking consensus on a joint statement, which sources said would provide him with some political cover for the controversies that are certain to be triggered by some of the plan's recommendations. The FCC chairman and his staff have spent the better part of a year preparing a major report while keeping his colleagues largely in the dark.

Re: [WISPA] how to compete with $15 DSL
EXACTLY! Why would new NTIA backhaul be cheaper? People always charge what the market will bare, build cost has nothing to do with it, when there is no competitions to force better pricing. Its a shame NTIA programs were designed to fund monopoly bandwidth build-out into new communities. The only thing that changes is who gets to be the monopoly entity. And even if it was free interconnection, who pays to get transport to one of the interconnection points? I would argue that transport cost would be just as high as buying transit. I personally think the NTIA projects will only accomplish a few goals in the short term1) it sent a warning to scare the Large Incumbants that they'd be wise to try a bit harder. 2) Get Government venues free broadband from reoccuring perspective, if you ignore the Tax dollar investment. 3) Get bandwdith to an area that really didn't have it before, which is a benefit, even if not at a low price. Even the non-profits, I just dont see any motive for them to lower price to anyone. If a player wasn't involved in the Non-profit at grant writing time for the proposal, without investment contributed, I just dont see how they will be given a free ride to get benefit. This is considering that the Non-profits are made up of board that are ISP competitors. Sure there will be some competitive pressure, now having two carriers in town instead of one, but that on its own probably wont be enough for short term benefit, in my opinion.

Most areas already have at least *some* fiber. The cost, and the problem, is in getting last mile done, not middle mile done. From my direct experience and observation, a lot of the middle mile projects NTIA is funding is really for redundant fiber. Where it isn't redundant it isn't really providing functionality that would help last mile access in the projects I've looked at. Worse, the middle mile projects are NOT being designed intimately with last mile providers. They are going to key community institutions which (1) mostly already have fiber connections and (2) really have no impact on where service is needed for last mile access.

With providers such as Cogent well under $10 a meg in bulk you can afford to up the speed (providing your network can support it) if you have access to such things. I have seen several providers start offering better speeds once they had access to a bigger pipe. I know in my area a T1 is still around $450 a month. Get 4 bonded t1s and you are looking at $300 a meg. If you had access to fiber and your transport + bandwidth cost you say $75 a meg you could afford to up the subscriber speeds. Just my thoughts.

In Ruralville, there is a population of 1000 citizens who earn an average of $22k/year. If there were no high speed options in ruralville, would YOU build a network there? I know I would. Especially if I carried the backhaul in from a larger network. Would you require someone else to pay for the gear, or could you make the numbers work for that area? I know I could make the numbers work. NOW...the question is: If it is feasible to make it work without a subsidy, WHY SHOULD ANYONE GET ONE FOR THAT AREA?

Re: [WISPA] High Speed Bridge Link
Bridgewave LTE at $7500 is a good bang for the buck to get acrross the street, and then some, as long as 100mbps is enough. But fiber is still cheaper. Terabeam will get you 1GB for under $10k, to get across the street, but it only supports fiber cabling to it. So you migh spend half the cost to run fiber between buildings, just terminating the Terabeam with fiber. 3-db just posted a great price on SafTechnica for 300mbps, but again, it will still be more expensive than the Fiber.

Hopefully I don't step on anyone's toes posting this on a public list. I'm assuming that since it was filed with the feds, it'd be public through FoIA or some other request. Any lateral construction done at cost. $300/month for an enterprise grade 100 meg PtP, $600/month for GigE PtP, pricing not yet released for residential circuits. Transit available for $20 - $30/meg. This project puts 130 miles throughout my county. I'm looking to try to pick up some enterprise clients, but this will also enable me to have some redundancy without chewing up spectrum. I'll also use this once I establish a customer base at a new tower.

Re: [WISPA] POE powered POE Splitter with Switch?
I have also built my own POE board like that. My cost was around $75 in parts and spare time over 3 days. We do not have enough need to do the integrated switch but did look into sourcing some hardened switches and modifying them.

Greg On Mar 16, 2010, at 5:31 PM, cc...@dot11net.com wrote: Greg, We build one of these for internal use (posted about it last week), but ours is a passive device that needs an external switch. We use it in combination with a 493 or 493ah on tower tops. It takes any input voltage from 18-96 volts and outputs the same input voltage on 9 ports with two of the ports switchable between the input voltage and 12 V. Why only two ports? Well, to make it cheap enough, the voltage convertor we use only outputs about 1 amp so running more than 2 devices would probably not work. The voltage convertors we use are about $40 each so putting one on each jack would make the device pretty expensive. I'm sure we could design a power supply that would do everything we want, but since we aren't in the electronics mfg. business, it would be more costly that it is worth to us. With our next run, we will be making the board look a little different with two rows of ethernet jacks on the front of the board facing out instead of up/down. We find that getting the cables out of the jacks in the current config can be a PITA (hence the pigtails in the pics). The devices are about $150 in parts as they stand to make in small quanitites. I posted last week about it because I wanted to see if I could use some simple ICs to detect ethernet signal to trip a power relay to make a remote power cycle by disabling the ethernet port. Further research shows this is not possible without a PHY chip. I'll try to post a pic of one of our tower top boxes, but if it doesn't make it and you want to see it, hit me offlist. If you think it would be a big seller and you want to make an investment, I'm sure we could come to an agreement ;). Cameron Does anyone know of or use a POE powered POE splitter/switch combo which could be tower mounted which would allow a single ethernet cable carrying POE (perferrably 48v) up the tower, and then would pass POE (adjustable voltages) to multiple devices and also act as a switch (preferably managed)? I'm thinking of something that would let a person run a single Ethernet up the tower and then connect multiple POE powered devices. It seems like this is something that would be a big hit.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
Here is what I got Hi folks, We don't know about you, but we at California-based Aperto Networks are tired of waiting for stimulus dollars to trickle into the WISP business, so we are taking matters into our own hands. So Aperto Networks -- the 802.16 pioneer and WiMAX leader -- is excited to offer the 3.65 and 5 GHz carrier class and commercial grade (not the residential CPE) PM320 PacketMAX CPE for only $199 each to the WISP. Effective immediately, the price applies to all N type CPE in either band and 17 dbi integrated (3.65 GHz) and 20 dBi (5 GHz). 5 GHz with integrated 21 dBi and 3.65 GHz with integrated 20 dBi are $220 to the WISP. There are no packs and no minimum quantities to get this price -- buy even just one, same price. Because you'll also need base stations to connect to, we are also offering full sector kits that support over 250 CPE per sector for these bands for $5000, including PM3000 1U base station, respective frequency base station radio (BSR), full sector and EMS license, antenna cable, sync cable and sector antenna of your choice (60, 60 or 120 degree, or omni). To qualify for this base station pricing, a minimum of 10 CPE must be included per base station. There are no hidden items; these all-in-one full sector kits. This promotion runs from this week to April 15, but because we know you need firm pricing for CAPEX planning, we will extend a price guarantee at these prices to any WISP who buys at least 5 sector kits by April 15. What does this get you? -One low price and you tailor your package to fit your need. oAll-in-one 3.65 or 5.8 GHz carrier class WiMAX sector (excludes 75 ohm LMR 400). oReduce your CAPEX permanently. Reduce your OPEX dramatically compared to Wi-Fi. oWiMAX at near Wi-Fi pricing with price protection with purchase of 5 or more sectors. oYou choose any combination of N type or various integrated antenna CPE options. oYou choose 60, 90, 120 degree sector options - or even an omni. oLowest total cost of ownership solution that can support over 250 CPE/sector (really). oUSDA RUS Accepted, globally-proven and built by 802.16 and WiMAX pioneer Aperto. oMonitor and manage thousands of CPE with included WaveCenter EMS and all licenses (server not included). -Technically advanced.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
anyone know the benefits of WiMax? I will leave most of the sales guys that man these lists, but there are a number of benefits to WiMAX that make it a better solution than simple polling or tdma approaches. After working some years in a WiMAX operator I couldn't agree more with Butch. The technology is incredibly good for outdoor networks. But besides better pricing (CPE, BS, spectrum), one thing I missed from current WiMAX technology was large channel size. Fixed WiMAX is usually available with 3.5 or 7 MHz channels; mobile WiMAX with 5 or 10 MHz channels. Wi-Fi already had non-standard 40 MHz with Turbo A/G and now has 40 MHz standard with 802.11n. With a small channel, even a high goodput/Hz couldn't go very far coping with increasing demands and we ended up installing unlicensed spectrum radios. My current mindset is that WiMAX is good for every application besides Internet access for computers. Surveillance, telephony and Internet access for mobile devices (including public safety and first responders) are all applications that WiMAX would edge out any other technology available on the market, as of Q1CY2010. 4G WiMAX (802.16m) might change that, I don't know.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
I have a small wimax deployment with 20 subs and 130 phone lines and I wouldn't change a thing. All business customers with very high quality voip. I section all the voip traffic out with ugs and leave the Internet as best effort to guarantee service levels. All my subs can easily get 5-6 megs upload which is far better than dsl or cable. And the best part is you set it and it is the same every day. All units keep the highest modulation (qam 64 3/4). If you do have one unit that has a week signal it really has no effect on the overall system. There are many other benefits but that is a few off the top of my head.

I will leave most of the sales guys that man these lists, but there are a number of benefits to WiMAX that make it a better solution than simple polling or tdma approaches. After working some years in a WiMAX operator I couldn't agree more with Butch. The technology is incredibly good for outdoor networks. But besides better pricing (CPE, BS, spectrum), one thing I missed from current WiMAX technology was large channel size. Fixed WiMAX is usually available with 3.5 or 7 MHz channels; mobile WiMAX with 5 or 10 MHz channels. Wi-Fi already had non-standard 40 MHz with Turbo A/G and now has 40 MHz standard with 802.11n. With a small channel, even a high goodput/Hz couldn't go very far coping with increasing demands and we ended up installing unlicensed spectrum radios. My current mindset is that WiMAX is good for every application besides Internet access for computers. Surveillance, telephony and Internet access for mobile devices (including public safety and first responders) are all applications that WiMAX would edge out any other technology available on the market, as of Q1CY2010. 4G WiMAX (802.16m) might change that, I don't know. Will wait and see. Rubens --- --- --- --- WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Channel Recommendation Gel Filled Ethernet
Which cable or kind of fill are you using? If it's the silicon fill from Mohawk you can easily clean it with an orange cleaner and that could help. leb At 10:20 PM -0400 3/17/10, Robert West wrote: I use flooded cable exclusively. Have you tried another make of crimper? Maybe you aren't getting a good enough crimp from the one you are using. The only time I have issues with the ends is when I snag them on something but I've only had the outer jacket come loose from the connecter but never the conductors. Even with the gel the crimp on the conductors have always held fast. Bob- -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Marlon K.

Then brought the laptop down. Any suggestions? Also, what is the best way to handle crimping gel-filled cat5e cable? We are having a heck of a time with the ends slipping off and the individual conductors slipping out. -Israel WISPA Wants You!
