2013-02-07 Thread Troy Settle
I have a site that's sitting at about 4500' that took some pretty serious ice damage. In short, we're using UBNT's antennas and the short jumpers that came with them. Lost about a half-dozen of them during a recent storm, which really didn't even qualify as an 'ice storm.' What can I do

[WISPA] Dragonwave Horizon Compact - one way traffic only?

2012-07-31 Thread Troy Settle
I have a backbone with 5 licensed links. Each link is switched to the next, forming a continuous L2 network. Yesterday evening, we had a partial breakdown on the very last link. I could see traffic /from/ the far end, but the far end was unable to see traffic from this side. I could see

Curious... we build wireless because we can't get fiber 'out there.' In fact, we're using wireless backhaul to feed FTTH. If you're needing wireless for last-mile, how are you getting fiber to the tower itself? Why not just fiber to the home? -Troy -Original Message- From:
