RE: [WISPA] Redundant Backhaul Links

If you're using all Cisco gear at your POPs EIGRP would be a better option since you can set bandwidth on the backhauls. Say for instance you may have your main backhaul with a capacity of 20MB and the backup at 10MB. EIGRP will make it's routing and load balancing decisions based on the line

Yes, but do not put all your trust on OSPF alone, as its designed for full on / off failures. Redundancy often becomes a manual process in Wireless, and is really solved by good a monitoring system / policy. The reason is that most wireless links start to fail partially (packet loss), instead

We have two connections to every ppop, so OSPF only trades data with its two peers. We limit and firewall which devices can talk OSPF to whom, to prevent hackers and customers from advertising false OSPF routes. Tom DeReggiRapidDSL Wireless, IncIntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband

[WISPA] FCC regs question

2006-01-02 Thread Jason
List, Can anyone tell me what the current FCC regs are regarding EIRP? When choosing an antenna radio combo are we limited to the maximum antenna gain that has been approved for use with that particular radio? If so, it eliminates the Super Range 2 radio for me since it's approved for use

Peter, CP is not a middle man. CP is the VOIP CLEC providing the service. Someone like Reignmaker or another ISP would be the middle man. You must have misunderstood. I was not referring to CommPartners as a middle man. CommPartners would not deal direct with us via our terms. (Or I would

Tom List, To verify that I understand, 1. My ap with 3 separate 120deg sectors and radios is limited to 1 watt EIRP per sector/radio, because it is PtMP. 2. My cpe's get the 3 to 1 rule because they are PtP Right? More questions: 1. What about using types of antennas that are not

Jason, 1. My ap with 3 separate 120deg sectors and radios is limited to 1 watt EIRP per sector/radio, because it is PtMP. No. Each AP radio/antenna combination is allowed a total of 36 db EIRP (4watt). (radio itself not to exceed 30 db + additional antenna 6 db, however no reason radio

This only applies to the 2.4ghz ISM band there are different rules for the 900mhz and 5.8 ISM band plus different rules for the UNII rules. The ISM rules state, 900mhz is a total of 36dbm EIRP no mater if it is multi point or PtP. 5.8ghz is 1 watt power and as large a antenna you can put on
