[WISPA] WiFi Security for the Enterprise
Hal, One more question about security on your APs. Will these do radius auth in lieu of a certificate for WPA authentication? I need to be able to create individual username / password access for each user and I prefer to avoid certificates if possible. Thoughts? Will it work? Has WPA with Radius been hacked previously? If it has I have never seen it and this strikes a good balance between security and sanity of network administration in my opinion. I welcome others insight on this. Security in the Enterprise is important stuff and we all need to make sure we do it right. I am trying. I could use any feedback from the collective on this subject. What WiFi security plan are you guys rolling out for your enterprise clients? Do I have to bite the bullet and do certificates? If I do then these school networks are not going to be much fun to administer. I am hoping radius auth and WPA together will be enough to meet everyones satisfaction for enterprise security. Thoughts? Insights? Criticism? Thanks, Scriv PS. I have FreeRadius running on a machine at home with a Linksys WRT54G running WPA authentication as my home wireless rebroadcast AP. Works well till you try to run WDS at the same time. Then it takes a crap.

As long as you stick to single radio setups, then typically the only thing required is a Declaration of Conformity (unintentional radiator testing). This is quite a bit cheaper than a full certification that has both the intentional and unintentional radiator tests. That said, it *does* require the certified module to have been certified with a wide range of antennas, which is not commonly done today.

One reason the non certified manufacturers are not certifying their equipment is because of the changes that take place in such short time periods. To certify a system, the radio card, the antenna AND the board which drives the card has to be certified together as a complete system. The roll your own non certified equipment changes very fast. It's always a newer faster board or a newer better card. Just a few months ago the CM9 was the rage of Atheros, now seems like the WLMG54 is popular. couple months ago wraps were the ticket and now it's war boards..

We aren't trying to use SCCP handsets with OpenSER. We are trying to get Cisco CallManager Express to act as the middle man between the SCCP handsets and our SIP infrastructure. Basically, the client uses CallManager as there internal PBX with outside lines via the PSTN but they want to use our VoIP services also.

[WISPA] FCC Eyes New Uses For 700 MHz 'Guard Bands'
FCC Eyes New Uses For 700 MHz 'Guard Bands' http://www.telecomweb.com/tnd/19170.html The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering new uses for so-called guard bands in the 700 MHz frequency range that were auctioned off to licensees in 2000 and 2001. The winners of the licenses have deployed only a handful of systems since that time. In a recently released Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), the regulator says it's seeking comment on possible changes to a series of complex rules that currently govern the 700 MHz guard bands and other potential changes on plans to allocate spectrum in that frequency range. The FCC says it wants to promote more efficient and effective use of the spectrum in view of existing licensees reporting lackluster deployments. According to the agency, the guard bands are governed by a unique set of service rules that stem from their role in protecting adjacent public-safety users, with licensees, guard band managers, and frequency coordinators in the adjacent public-safety bands all keeping tabs on the usage, interference questions and geographic assignments written into contracts known as spectrum user agreements. The NPRM looks at several service-rule changes that may provide greater band usage while maintaining adequate interference protection for public-safety licensees; the possibilities include whether to continue to maintain the existing band-manager rules, whether to eliminate or revise restrictions on leasing for internal purposes and whether to eliminate the prohibition on deploying cellular architectures within the guard bands. In part, the FCC is taking up the issue at this time because the digital television (DTV) transition passed by the U.S. Congress now has a hard date of Feb. 17, 2009. Analog broadcasters vacating the entire 700 MHz band will make those channels available for commercial wireless, public-safety and guard-band licensees. In addition, the FCC notes as part of its 800 MHz band reconfiguration proceeding, it reclaimed all of Nextel Communications Inc.'s guard-band licenses in 2004 - covering 42 markets - and it will consider proposals to re-license those guard bands. A secondary portion of the NPRM seeks comment on possible changes to the surrounding upper portions of the 700 MHz band. The FCC tentatively concludes, however, that the adoption of any proposal that would entail shifting the narrowband channels of the public safety band would require an expeditious resolution of issues related to the costs of reprogramming public safety radios, as well as international coordination for the use of any shifted narrowband channels in border areas, the NPRM adds. Sources say Verizon Wireless and other incumbent carriers have made suggestions to the FCC about building both dedicated and shared public-safety networks in the 700 MHz band plus a proposal from Cyren Call Communications, headed by Nextel's founder, seeks a 30-megahertz set-aside in the upper 700 MHz band for a national commercial/emergency communications network operated by a public trust. That idea has support from the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials International (TelecomWeb news break, Aug. 11) and the National Emergency Number Association (TelecomWeb news break, Aug. 22). -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

Thanks, Scriv Mark Koskenmaki wrote: After spending a lot of time working with a couple WLM54AG's, I know without a doubt that the main is different for a CM9 and the Compex radio. You can switch to the b port, but as best I can tell, you still have some loss as compared to using the main port. In auto, the difference between the two is around 12 db, manually chosen or forced to one port or the other, it appears to be well more than 20 db isolation between them. +++ neofast.net - fast internet for North East Oregon and South East Washington email me at mark at neofast dot net 541-969-8200 Direct commercial inquiries to purchasing at neofast dot net - Original Message - From: Mark McElvy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 4:53 AM Subject: RE: [WISPA] MiniPCI wireless card recommendation...

Did you try both antenna ports? On the two that connected, were the signals 12 to 14dB lower on both sides of the link? -Hal -- George Rogato Welcome to WISPA www.wispa.org http://signup.wispa.org/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
[WISPA] Bandwidth needed near Houston
Hi all, I have a consulting client that needs to get some Internet backbone east/southeast of Houston. Looking for something 3 to 10meg in capacity, with roof rights to bring a point-to-point link in on 5ghz. Client has several towers available in the area between Houston and Galveston. If anyone can help me out with this, let me know. I really don't want to have to wait for Qworst to bring a T1 in, and have that be the bottleneck for this project. Thanks!
