[WISPA] Billing Software

Hi All, I was wondering which software your company is using for the billing task. What you like and what you don't... (or what you tried and worked and what was just horrible) Indeed besides the nice presentations from the software companies, stability and availability is something always

My 65' bucket truck runs around $1k per year. But that's a policy that allows more than just wireless installs. I can trim trees, work on the local farmers grain elevators etc. If I just used my truck for my business purposes the insurance is quite a bit cheaper. marlon - Original

Re: [WISPA] Insurance

Find a broker that deals with CNA. They are still in the ISP business. Use 2 separate classifications. One is being an ISP and the second is satellite installer. Most insurance CO's have no clue what a WISP is to this day and will run for the hills when you describe your business. They all

It is anticipated that there will be at least one grant in every state. So it's possible for a state to not get any money out of $3.9B? How much money was put into RUS funds previously? - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com

Re: [WISPA] Stimulus act

So RUS has given out about as much money so far as the stimulus act is giving us? How is the stimulus act supposed to blanket the country if the RUS so far hasn't been able to accomplish much with roughly the same amount of money? - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions

[WISPA] first whitespaces 802.11 card?

Re: [WISPA] first whitespaces 802.11 card?

http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/allochrt.pdf I'm not sure what exactly this card's target is. It would cover channels 8 - 13, but then also a bunch of 2-way and other services. There must be an international band that covers 180 - 280. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions

[WISPA] ISP-Lists Shutting Down/ISPCON also

Hi All, Just saw a note from Jeff Goldman that at the end of March the ISP Lists are going away. Also, got a note from Alex that they were going to shut down ISPCON. Can't believe I've been following a number of their lists for over 8 years, and going to ISPCONs for probably 5 years. Thanks

Re: [WISPA] first whitespaces 802.11 card?

The google map that Brian Webster made had channels 20 - 52 on it. So, is 1-8 whitespaces? And how do I find out if I can use it in my area. I'd love to get my hands on one of those cards and start testing, it I would be able to use it in my area. Brian Rohrbacher Mike Hammett wrote:

Brian, Yes; it is a card with a frequency range that overlaps some of the existing VHF television channel frequencies. In the future, in some geographic areas some of these channels, if unused for Television Broadcasting could be available for Fixed broadband wireless use under the TV White

Re: [WISPA] first whitespaces 802.11 card?

Brian, Like Jack says, this is nothing like a whitespaces device. You can download the first draft of the specifications at the FCC, I think it is about 120 pages. The devices are supposed to have a sensing radio to detect existing tv channels, in addition to detecting wireless microphones,

Yes, I heard. Its disappointing, but not a surprise, based on the current state and/or marketability of our industry (dominent Duopoly). I will say, ISPCON has had a very long run. They will always have a place in my heart as the most successful and professional show in the industry that

Well, with a couple of exclusions, channels 2 - 5x are available for whitespaces. That card only works from 180 MHz - 280 MHz, which falls under what I stated below. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com From: Brian Rohrbacher Sent: Wednesday, February

Re: [WISPA] first whitespaces 802.11 card?

There are 2 MHz of spectrum in the 220 MHz band able to be licensed for private land mobile use in the US using very narrow channels. I think they are targeting remote meter reading markets with this radio not broadband. The frequency range is also probably useable in other bands outside the US.
