I need to monitor current on an AC line at a tower site. Like 5 amps at 120 VAC. I would like to graph it with something like 'Site Monitor' from 'Packet Flux' which has a 0 - 100mv DC input among other inputs. Does anyone know a good way to convert to that hopefully with some surge protection a

[WISPA] Calculating Bandwidth Cost

2011-02-21 Thread Matt
Trying to calculate bandwidth costs. 1Mbps / 8 bits = 125,000 bytes a second. 125,000 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 30 = 324GBytes a month. This is just download we are looking at but since that is the majority of traffic and TDD/GPS Sync is often optimized for download we will just look at that and add down

I have looked at Dragonwave but I was having problems getting 5 nines on the longer links even using 6 foot dishes. I was hoping that Nera with higher transmit power might get me over the hump. Initially I do not need GigE but I likely need the option to upgrade to near GigE with near zero downtime
