Is there a way to see that Ares Ultra is being used? Or do you have to rely on them telling you they're using it after you notice them taking every available packet? I assume you could somewhat mitigate the problem by using a 'tik to provide a shaped bandwidth...full speed for 1 minute,

Weather proofing is not just rain and snow ( weather ) but natural condensation that happens with the natural rising sun. The Dew point. Metals and sufaces become natural condensation pionts and as it collects it will also evaporate and that will work its way into connectors over time.

We are looking at automagically throttling the bandwidth hogs back at peak times and letting them run normally otherwise. Seems like a good way to deal with it to keep your normal usage custommers happy and if your bandwidth hogs don't like it they can move to another ISP. Have not yet gotten

The first fly in the ointment I see with the prevailing response from many WISPs (tell the 'hogs' to go elsewhere) is MDUs. Telling individual customers within an MDU to take a hike (even if you say it nicely) if you have an agreement with the MDU owner, could be a recipe for losing the MDU

Sounds like someone made a booboo, they needed someone to complain and let them know something was wrong, or a combination thereof. Good support though, Jack! Can we say that? Try to get a resolution like that with a cable or dsl provider. Mario Jack Unger wrote: Just an update - Within two

Hi folks, I just wanted this community to be aware of this. It does represent a major milestone for the industry, even though this is not license-exempt equipment. It is a market first. This is a commercial release, not an announcement of an upcoming product. Mar 21, 2007 Alvarion Addressing

Gang, I've played around with a Mikrotik box as an ap and I really like what it'll do. I especially like the low power consumption it has. I measured it's average current draw at 12 volts for over a week with my Fluke 175 and it was drawing 0.310 Amps on average. This is 3.72 watts (at

Not all WISPs use license-exempt exclusively, as you know. I am looking forward to some type of licensed play in the future myself. Congrats to Alvarion on staying ahead of the curve on WiMAX. By all accounts you guys are leading most of the pack out there for WiMAX globally. Let me know when

You'll be among the first to know John if the AWS range is covered. No need to run a 'd' version though, since .16e is inherently able to support both fixed and mobile (and nomadic) applications. But we are still selling lots of d version gear in many parts of the world. Been selling that since
