Seriously, this is a great list. Definitely shows how the VL is a
completely different animal than the other options out there.

Good to see Patrick decided to engage the pros and cons of the VL product!
Now maybe we can get some traction on offering up the improvements the VL
product sorely needs. Surely Alvarion wants to improve the product right?
The pros Patrick lists are certainly impressive,
Brad,
Software controlled dual polarity might be nice. Not sure why you
consistently harp on us though since no one else has it either other
than your longtime preferred vendor.
I am not as convinced about your complaint about RSSI. Is it just used

Patrick,
Rssi is very important to determine if a link is properly aligned and its
achieving its link budget.
Altough we dont use alvarion(yet), we are currently researching backhaul
options and the way we comission ptp links here is that we run the calcs on
radio mobile and spreedsheet to
I have yet to use an Alvarion radio or for that matter one without RSSI.
However, I would think that using SNR is a perfectly reasonable way to
align a link.

32, as in a total of 32 IP addresses?
If that's the case, they shouldn't need to involve ARIN at all. They
should just SWIP that little teensy allocation out of their own space to
you.

I should have also noted that per the info
below, most Alvarion operators simply have a policy that they will only connect
subscribers for whom a minimum number of the green LEDs will fire and hold. For
example, having 4 for of the 8 green LEDs light should get you a link with the
best mod
The problem with SNR for alignment
purposes is that you are dealing with a variable in noise, with rssi you work
with fixed numbers. Im not dissing SNR, it is extremely important,
But for example, in order to trouble shoot a link let say I install a

Exactly, and this is can be compounded on
a new installation as you might be seeing noise or could it be you are just misaligned?

may think 4 LED bars is all that is ever needed because thats what they
typically see. The next install they throw up a
If the general concensus is that RSSI is a
must, then I will try to convince PM to add such a reading.

Not to beat the horse here but I think having SNR, RSSI and Noise

Agreed, VL does have more niche features and some of those can be the sole
reason VL makes the cut and other products do not. As you know VLAN support
was the key feature in this particular case, but simply placing a CPE router
on site will also fill that need.
I'm a believer in the VL product,

Gino,
The prices you state seem way low. I've only see nthat on temporar or Ebay
type buying.
Is their a CONSISTENT source for $225 and $550 pricing in less than 25 qty?
I believe that anyone that is required to buy in qty higher than 25 to get

Trango is no where near $400 for Atlas Foxes. Trango's Atlas Fox's distance
without dish is just about the same as the standard Canopy CPE (same DBI
antenna).
Remember that Trango lists retail on their site to protest the WISP. Low
volume WISP special pricing is granted to any WISP.

There are arguments against dual band support, as we have discussed
before, though you ridicule our sincere reasoning and call it BS (which
is why I am cautious about discussing these things with you in public).
As I said to you, our RD folks tell me that RF components that span a
broad frequency
So what is the onesy-twosy price of a Trango Atlas with an extended
range antenna? What is the price for a Canopy Advantage CPE with
extended range? I have plenty of data I've found, but there seems to be
some wide discrepancy here among you folks.
How about total cost for a Canopy cluster with

Hi all,
I just have to say how much I enjoy working in the WISP
marketplace. One of my customers had a power supply failure this
weekend. No inexpensive way to get a replacement to them, and no, no
spare on hand. I looked at our client map and saw Mount Vernon.net
was close to them. One
the answer is hire a company to do installations for you. if
your employee just happens to own that company, well, oh well…
It’s all invoices. Pay them as normal, and you don’t need to
worry about taxes, etc. Your employee (or sub’d company J…) does
that on their own.

Does the VL use polling or is it CSMA/CA?

Yes, Motorola provides a service to any customer that purchases or has
