Re: [WISPA] Sprint / Nextel to use 900mz for iDen
Could they really get by on the low power in the unlicensed noisy bands? Langeler, you know? Everything I have heard is the big boys use high power (at least compared to us) and HIGH receive sensitivity because on no noise and that is why is works so well. Except my Nextel has SUCKED for the last two month. Dropped call after dropped call. Brian rwf wrote: Nextel has been buying up 900 MHz trunked systems for years now.

Re: [WISPA] ATT Launches Video Monitoring Service
Jack, you would think so, but most just offer connectivity. Period. The RBOCs are adding services like crazy to increase the ARPU. Bundling is how you create an ARPU that is sufficient to maintain profit. It is also a way to confuse the customer in order that there isn't an apples to apples comparison. Secure. Reliable. Friendly. And Productivity is what people want from a service provider. We don't have a tech savvy population. They need help making better use of broadband for security, peace of mind, time savings, shopping, etc. What do you do to provide that to your customer? - Peter Jack Unger wrote: Isn't ATT late to the party?

[WISPA] ? Web Developer Guru's
Hello Web Developer Guru's, I looking for comments or suggestions on my site survey request process. I want to make sure it's as streamlined as it can be. Here is the current process from start to finish. Potential subscriber calls and we talk $. If they are still interested I send them to www.reliableinter.net to click on Free availability check. They submit the form, a cgi script runs, and the raw data is sent to an imap account that my web developer and I have access to. My web developer than open the email from imap in word and runs 2 macros to organize the raw data. One for my copy and one for the customers. My copy adds a bunch of text at the bottom of all the customer info (things like site survey date, install date, mac address, ssid, equipment, new email, rate plan, IP, DNS, and some other good stuff that needs to be on a work order). The other macro organizes the raw data for him to send an email back to the customer see what they submitted along with added text that says, We'll call you, bla bla. After all my work order text is added he emails it (for review) from word back to the imap account and the info all shows up in the body of the email. Now I print the email (1 page) and stick it in a 3 ring binder. This leaves me with one email/printed email that has every field necessary to complete site survey, install, and billing. Making the process smoother... I'd like to know if my process could be changed to what I'll describe below without a major overhaul, or if it needs major work, tell me a little about it. This reason we're doing it like we are is because I know very little about web development/cgi/macro stuff. This is the way my guy knew how to handle it. After the customer hits submit I want 2 things to happen. I want a confirmation email auto sent to them that shows them want they wrote and shows them the text I added.

Again, the email is to have text added at the bottom of this email, but my text needs to be the work order type text I explained earlier. Summary. Fill out form. Click submit. Two unique email sent. Their copy with We'll call you text and my copy with Work order text. The last thing. When I receive the email, I want the sender's email to show up so I can hit reply and be talking to them.

Re: [WISPA] Sprint / Nextel to use 900mz for iDen
I don't know what the beef is. FleetCall bought up in the vicinity of 100 trunking SMR channels in each major metro almost 20 yrs ago. They claimed to the FCC that they could serve significantly more users than the typical 100 users/channel of the current early 90s analog technology. 100 channels at 100 users apiece serves only in the vicinity of 10,000 users. With the iDen technology they ultimately served almost half a million in the same geographic area with the same spectrum. So much for the unneeded technology assessment. Now that they're called NexTel, sure they continue adding whatever remaining licenses they can get their hands on, but the 800 and 900 Trunking and bands are land-locked (no room for expansion), so there's no new technology targeted to this band that I know of. Now that they're merged with Sprint, it's no secret where their new technology is targeted (WiMAX).

RE: [WISPA] Sprint / Nextel to use 900mz for iDen
Before everyone gets in an uproar about this, has anyone looked in to the actual frequencies being used? I'm pretty sure Nextel has some licensed 900 MHz spectrum. I don't have time to dig around for the information but as I recall they do. I could be wrong. They certainly won't deploy an IDEN system in the unlicensed bandsCome on. They might however cause interference with unlicensed stuff in certain situations where you might be co-located on the same sites. From what I have read I think this is only going to be in selected East Coast cities anyway, and it's a band aid approach to the rebanding process.

[WISPA] Want to know why I hate the federal government???
A few months back, I got an inquiry from a TV station engineer asking if it would be possible to provide him with an internet connection. Well, I did some quick looking, got ahold of him and we had a tentative agreement that I'd provide him a connection for control and monitoring purposes, and he'd do the climbing, and in return (no dollars change hands) for building the 50+ mile backbone to him, I'd get to locate AT LEAST one access point on his broadcast tower. Well, I got a note from him just yesterday, as I had inquired about why I hadn't gotten further action, to find out that since the land the TV station broadcasts from is leased USFS land (lease is at least 40 years running, with a minimum of 5 towers on the site) the USFS is telling him he cannot run a second unlicensed band link to his TV tower. I don't have the details yet, but this makes me so mad so stupidly infuriating... NO danger, no negatives, their obstruction SERVES NO USEFUL PURPOSE... But they obsstruct just to obstruct.

Re: [WISPA] ? Web Developer Guru's
Brian, In your backend script (the CGI / Perl script I assume), you could have it send out two separate emails - 1 to the client with the information you want them to see, and the other to you with the information you are wanting. I'm not that familiar with Perl but I'm assuming it could use SMTP Authentication somehow so that the emails sent out could appear to come from the customer. Hard to say much more than it's easy because truthfully, any semi-decent coder should be able to do this pretty easily, whether it be CGI / Perl, ASP, PHP, whatever, and without seeing your code and your setup, it's hard to say what would be best to use in this situation. I'm an ASP guy. Others are PHP, others are Perl. They can all accomplish this without the intermediate step of having to open Word to put the data in that you want. - Original Message - From: Brian Rohrbacher [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 2:02 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] ?

Re: [WISPA] Sprint / Nextel to use 900mz for iDen
The preponderence of NexTel channels are in the private land mobile 806-821/850-865 conventional / trunking band, and a small percentage in the 902-906 trunking band. So I believe whatever '900' channels they have are *below* the 900 ISM band. I am most likely off on the numeric band limits. But there are IIRC 15MHz of 25KHz channels that they hold licenses among at 800 (and the separate reverse channels 45MHz higher), and only 4MHz of 12.5KHz channels at 900 (including both TR, but I don't recall the T/R split there).

Re: [WISPA] ? Web Developer Guru's
CGI is Perl. If you'd like to send me a copy of the CGI script, I can take a look and see what I could do. You shouldn't have to use SMTP authentication, instead just have the script input Reply-To: headers in the email it sends to you. Or simply change the From: header to that of the client/customer. I work a lot in PHP and Perl, I know both of these are capable of doing this for you without using SMTP authentication. Send me a message off list if you like. -Nick Brian Rohrbacher wrote: Inline, and thanks. This is more like the response I needed.

[WISPA] FCC definitions
Does a WISP fall under the designation of a telecommunications carrier even though it isnt required to file form 499-a? Under definition found at USC title 47,153.40 , it appears that an ISP and in particular a WISP offers telecommunications services and is deemed a telecommunications carrier . From The USAC website: To be a telecommunications carrier, the carrier must (1) allow the customer to transmit information of its own design and choosing, without change in the form or content of the information, and (2) provide that capability for a fee directly to the public, or to such classes of users as to be effectively available to the public (i.e., hold itself out to serve indifferently all potential users). USAC defines a carrier as above. They also require that Eligible Telecommunications Carriers file 499-A. As an industry, if we supply telecommunications services, as defined above, directly to a school or library and dont file the 499 is that considered breaking the rules? Im caught between a rock and the horns of a dilemma.

Re: [WISPA] Sprint / Nextel to use 900mz for iDen
ISM 902-928. Exact band and Power limit is relevant. Currently, the top 25% of ISM 900 bandwidth (channel 4) is unusable, in MANY areas, due to blead over from 930 Licensed high power gear (500W). If the same thing were to occur at the lower portion of 900 ISM bandwdith, it could kill Channel 1 also, horribly effecting WISPs using unlicenced. They also may be requesting to use higher power on the actual ISM bands, argueing Public Safety is more important than unlicensed use.

So I believe whatever '900' channels they have are *below* the 900 ISM band. I am most likely off on the numeric band limits. But there are IIRC 15MHz of 25KHz channels that they hold licenses among at 800 (and the separate reverse channels 45MHz higher), and only 4MHz of 12.5KHz channels at 900 (including both TR, but I don't recall the T/R split there).

I'm pretty sure Nextel has some licensed 900 MHz spectrum. I don't have time to dig around for the information but as I recall they do. I could be wrong. They certainly won't deploy an IDEN system in the unlicensed bandsCome on. They might however cause interference with unlicensed stuff in certain situations where you might be co-located on the same sites. From what I have read I think this is only going to be in selected East Coast cities anyway, and it's a band aid approach to the rebanding process.

Filters fix this problem quite handily. We recommend one on every system needed or not. I don't see an issue here. Mike At 07:07 PM 10/26/2006, you wrote: ISM 902-928. Exact band and Power limit is relevant. Currently, the top 25% of ISM 900 bandwidth (channel 4) is unusable, in MANY areas, due to blead over from 930 Licensed high power gear (500W). If the same thing were to occur at the lower portion of 900 ISM bandwdith, it could kill Channel 1 also, horribly effecting WISPs using unlicenced. They also may be requesting to use higher power on the actual ISM bands, argueing Public Safety is more important than unlicensed use.
