[WISPA] DIY Wireless Enclosures

2006-10-04 Thread Paul Hendry
Hi all, This is aimed at anyone who builds there own x86 kit but anyone with experience in this arena is more than welcome to chime in. Basically I'm trying to gauge if using a sealed enclosure is really best for mounting x86 based kit outdoors or if a well ventilated enclosure would be better.

Hiya Dustin, I have an Advantest. 9k to 8g. Very nice. When I get another one I'm gonna look for a couple of things. I like the color lcd display, but it needs to be brighter for use in the sun. I'd get one that's got fewer buttons on it. I don't need to decode cell phone calls.

Marlon, Just curious, have you ever had to force this issue with property management? I imagine this could be a difficult fight to win for a WISP. What happens at the end of the day when the Property Manager tells the WISP to shove off? Legal action? For what, potential lost subscribers?

When I read the otard rules it seems to me that they CAN stop you from mounting on the roof. The only place you could mount was tenant exclusive areas. Basically the balcony attached to the apartment. I hope I misread it though. Mike Bushard, Jr Wisper Wireless Solutions, LLC -Original

OTARD is all well and good, but that doesn't help you with MTUs or MDUs. OTARD only applies to areas of exclusive control by the tenant. That means common areas such as roofs of apartment and office buildings are not affected by OTARD. In cases where OTARD does apply, the property manage has

The first thing to determine, is whether your case is covered by OTARD. (space controlled by the tenant, and not condo). If it is, you don't fight it out with the property owners or homeowner associations, you just go install it. You have the right to install, and then the property owner can

I haven't had to. But I've heard of people pulling out the OTARD rules and waving them in front of landlords. The rule originally was there for sat. services etc. But it's been expanded to wisp services etc. You are limited to areas that are exclusively in the control of the tenant. So,

Many WISPs have fought the OTARD battle over the years. I'm not sure I recall of one that lost if they knew the rules. OTARD is a federal act that pre-empts state and local rules. Patrick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chad Halsted

Mike, they can prevent you from roof mounting if it is a multi-tenant, multi-floor sort of building. If your customer rents a townhouse style, you should have access. Maybe they can prevent you from holing the roof itself for under some loop hole that protects them from risks to the structure, but
