Hello Kristian,
Those connectors are similar to what the Trango Apex uses that are too small
for an armored outdoor CAT5 cable. It's a shame the product engineers some
manufacturers use/have to design their products are so imperceptive of basic
field requirements.

Perhaps, but zip codes don't provide granular enough data to support
our requests for more spectrum or better operating rules. Zip codes
make it look like almost everybody already has broadband but, in
reality, 15% of the U.S. population does not have broadband. No point

I think several WISPs have issues giving out data. I have heard this

Since your unit is out of warranty anyway...
If you open the unit up, you will find that there is an ethernet port
inside it, as well as a power port, connected to that proprietary plug.
We replaced that with a Pacific Wireless RJ45 ethernet connector system

But in the mean time, policy and perceptions are made by the existing data,
even if it is a year old. Without knowledge of the industry and just looking
at the data, WISP's appear to be in a serious decline even with 22.7% more

There is a difference between guessing and knowing. In business, you
should never underestimate threats and where they may come from. Go

No Sir. I was just simply submitting the article to the list for
comment on without reference to anything else discussed in the past.
It appears your email addy was added by accident. At any rate, I
apologize if anything else appeared to be implied. Of course, your
comments are welcome as well.
If they were smart they would enlist the help of the companies that make and
sell gear. Get them to help spread the word as to the good that form 477
can lead to. The incentive for spreading the word is more business.

Hello Randy,
Ha! Very interesting. How long were your Ethernet cable runs on each side
of the link? At what power level do you have the radios set to?
Another idea we had was to run the LMR400 cable from the ODU all the way
inside to the outdoor designed IDU. This would limit the length of

I don't think this is good. The last time it was tried we got a bunch of

for us. Would I go that route again? Not at this time. Once we finally
have it totally up and running maybe I'll change my mind. But right now I
hate it. We've spent nearly a year typing every customer in by hand.
