All,
Could this be good news for WISP's? Any thoughts on how this may affect
the wireless industry?

Hadn't thought about it that way...so our 5 Mbps/1 Mbps link would be a 6
Mbps link.
Yep, a name is an important marketing tool.
I think our name St. Louis Broadband helps us out (stlbroadband.com and
stlouisbroadband.com), but if we ever want to expand our territory, we would
have a problem.
I think this shows how much wireless has grown over the years, as well as
the price of domain names really getting some big bucks.

Define monitoring?
Up down status, or real time and historical data of link characteristics and
health?

Not at 6 mhz of spectrum only.
Where did the rest of it go?
WISPs need atleast 30 Mhz.

Thats what we do - - - No contracts and if we can use a Tranzeo TR-CPQ to
connect thjem it is a $200.00
set up/install fee + router ($50.00) and first months service ($50.00) and
we maintain ownership of the CPE. If it takes a Trango 900MHz CPE to catch
them - - the install/setup fee goes to
We were in a similar position when we started our WISP in 2002, and we
went exclusively with Waverider CPE ($500+ at that time) and we found
that the market would not bear more than $200 setup (we now only charge
$149). It was/is also our thinking that a contract to lock them into
service

I'll take a wireless link over a T1 any day if for no other reason then
the wireless link will be more reliable. You're never going to suffer
the loss of a link due to a backhoe or a drunk driver hitting a pole,
which are the two most likely reasons for a T1 failure.
Personally, I believe
just fyi, that link doesn't find anything.

Here is the text of the message I sent to Honorable John Shimkus of
Illinois:
The current House Spectrum Bill brought forth by Inslee and others to
give us a single 6 MHz channel is far too little to help Americans gain
access to broadband options and could even be regarded as a slap in the
All of the above
The controller has RSSI, several graphs, both current and historical, other APs
seen, and a few other things we haven't completely dug into.
When we get back down there, I will get a list of all the monitoring it
supports and give a better review.

John, Well said.
I agree 6 mhz, a slap in the face.
I understood, Brad Larson's comment that 50Mhz is a lot to be thankk full
for, when Marlon was suggesting that 50 Mhz was not enough, in critiquing
Marlon's proposal. We learned with 900Mhz that we can do a lot with 30 Mhz,
although tough.
John,
Yours is an articulate, well written summary. Although some WISPs may
feel slapped in the face, politics (law-making) is, as we know, not
about face-slapping. Politics is about making laws that bring specific
benefits to specific (large or small) groups of people. I expect the 6
MHz
I have an interesting application, that maybe someone has tried:
Customer is expanding to a remote office, across the street from the
main office.
They need to connect voice and data between the two.
There's clear LOS, so a wireless link will work.
The telephone PBX is at the main office, of
Thanks Jack. I am reasonably sure that your number 2 assumption is on
the mark. I used the slap in the face statement to illustrate the
emotional impact these issues have on me and thousands of others who
tell 60% of potential customers each day that they cannot get their
broadband because

Could you please post the sysinfo of the 5800 radio showing an uptime
of 48 months... I've never seen one over 10 months (even with over 100
Trango AP's running now). :)
Repair time for any down T1 lines has been less than 24 hours... usually
1-2 hours.

Well engineered links with proper installation, lightning protection,
battery backup and good gear will be just as reliable (if not more) as
any land line system in my opinion. The rub is that many wireless links
are poorly engineered, bad gear and not installed well. Garbage
in...garbage out.
All,we have a 50' tower that had a soekris4511 board running a
modified version of pebble linux.The system worked great
for nearly 2 years.We upgraded the system to a soekris 4521
and bridged both pcmcia interfaces to have a 2 sector
site.The 2 sector system works great except for one
problem:it
Try different radios and/or system OS. You could run Mikrotik or Star OS
on the board for little money. If it is not a motherboard issue then I
think there is something that the OS or radios do not like specific to
that location.

Just off the top of my head this may be for RFID type devices looking at
the description of the services that might use it. I think I recall some
activity a while ago trying to increase the power levels for RFID systems.
The collision avoidance systems they speak of may be back-up

You should go unplug it again to take the new auto remote reboot device

Thank you for the
information. The areas of DSL are very spotty and cable is very
inexpensive and unreliable. Many people are upset at both
situations. DSL is offered for about $30 per month with purchase of a DSL
"modem" at around $50 or so and a 1 year contract is required. Cable
