[WISPA] A Privatized National Public Safety Network?

2007-01-03 Thread Dawn DiPietro

A Privatized National Public Safety Network?

From Lasar’s Letter, December 26, 2006
By Matthew Lasar

It will operate almost 250 video and broadband channels, and be allowed 
to access hundreds more under certain conditions. It will allow 
thousands public safety agencies to exchange data about weather 
emergencies and potential terrorist attacks. It will enable police 
agencies to exchange mug shots, fingerprints, and share real-time video 
monitoring of emergency or potentially criminal situations.


And it will be run by a commercial entity that charges on a 
fee-for-service basis, even permitted to market spectrum to other 
companies “through leases or in the form of public/private partnerships.”


On December 20th the Federal Communications Commission issued a Ninth 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on how to use the 700 MHz band for 
public safety purposes.


“We believe that the time may have come for a significant departure from 
the typical public safety allocation model the Commission has used in 
the past,” the Notice argues.


In fact, what the NPRM proposes could be described as radical—a highly 
centralized, privately run emergency communications system that the 
document claims will function as a non-profit, yet could be allowed to 
lease out spectrum using a model similar to that recently proposed by 
the Microsoft Corporation in a series of FCC filings.


Here it is, the future of public safety communications as envisioned by 
Kevin Martin’s FCC:


The search for seamlessness

The Ninth Notice rejects what it calls the “typical public safety 
allocation model the Commission has used in the past.”


In a nutshell, up until now the FCC let local law enforcement and safety 
agencies apply for communications channels—licenses to transmit voice 
and data. Many of these allocation decisions were made by regional 
public safety planning committees.


But no more, the FCC proposes: “While this system has had significant 
benefits for public safety users, in terms of permitting them to deploy 
voice and narrowband facilities suitable for their needs, the system 
also has resulted in uneven build-out across the country in different 
bands, balkanization of spectrum between large numbers of incompatible 
systems, and interoperability difficulties if not inabilities.”


Obviously the shadow of Hurricane Katrina and September 11th hangs over 
this discussion. The 9/11 Commission’s Final Report disclosed in painful 
detail in the difficulties New York City’s public safety communications 
system faced during the crisis, among them police and fire radio 
channels that could not be accessed by other agencies.


Even worse, the FDNY’s point-to-point radios broadcast at such a weak 
signal that only personnel in the immediate area could access them, 
crippling the department’s ability to coordinate a city-wide rescue effort.


And so, “in developing our proposal,” the FCC writes, “we are guided by 
the following objectives for public safety communications in the 
twenty-first century.” These include:


* the use of the 700 MHz spectrum, made available by the transition from 
analog to digital television
* a system of “nationwide interoperability” that will allow emergency 
personnel to communicate “seamlessly”
* a system of “adequate funding” that better meets the needs of local 
services dependent on municipal and county allocations
* robustness—communications networks that will run even when a disaster 
like Katrina knocks out local terrestrial systems, by relying on 
satellite technology and other national resources.


To achieve these goals, the FCC’s Notice argues for what will be seen as 
a massive centralization and commercialization of the nation’s emergency 
communications system, its leasing to “a single, national public safety 
broadband licensee,” who would sell access to the network “on a 
fee-for-service basis.”


How it would work

As already noted, this national entity would charge local and regional 
emergency agencies for access to the national broadband system on the 
basis of volume of use.


In addition, the entity could charge for what the FCC calls 
“unconditionally preemptible commercial use of the spectrum.” That is, 
the company could lease out channels for non-public safety use, as long 
as their customers understand that they might have to put up with signal 
interference and the immediate cancellation of service in case of 
emergencies.


But the Notice also stipulates that the FCC would “leave significant 
discretion to the national licensee to carry out its responsibilities,” 
including the work of establishing leasing arrangements with commercial 
service providers.


The ideal candidate for this job, the FCC says, will have to have three 
qualifications on its resume: experience with public safety management, 
an “ability to directly represent all public safety interests,” and 
not-for-profit status.


“We also propose that no commercial interest may be held in the

[WISPA] Report: Cities' communications still lacking

Report: Cities' communications still lacking
Updated 1/2/2007 10:33 PM ET E-mail | Save | Print | Reprints  
Permissions | Subscribe to stories like this Subscribe to stories like this

By Mimi Hall, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — Emergency responders in most cities don't have the 
equipment and skills needed to communicate with each other during a 
crisis, according to a report to be released today by the Homeland 
Security Department.


Only six of the 75 cities and regions surveyed received top scores for 
interoperability, or the ability to reliably communicate by radio. 
They were Washington, D.C., and its suburbs; San Diego; Columbus, Ohio; 
Minneapolis-St. Paul; Sioux Falls, S.D.; and Laramie, Wyo.


The report comes more than five years after the 9/11 attacks highlighted 
communications problems among fire, police and other emergency 
responders in New York City, at the Pentagon and at the crash site in 
Somerset County, Pa. The problems were especially acute at the World 
Trade Center, where firefighters couldn't hear police warnings to get 
out of the towers before they collapsed.


One of the dramatic lessons of 9/11 was the cost in human life when we 
do not have at least command-level interoperability in cities and in 
regions, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said last month.


Chertoff said the country has made a significant amount of progress 
toward better communication systems. But in regions where there are 
still gaps, he said, leaders of cities and towns with incompatible 
systems need to work to develop a better system that would help 
communication during a disaster.


Since 2003, Homeland Security has handed out $2.9 billion in grants for 
interoperable communications systems, and Chertoff said his department's 
grant programs will be heavily focused on communications improvements 
over the next two years.


The survey, he said, was designed to identify the gaps so they can be 
closed as quickly as possible.


The lowest scores on the report went to Chicago; Cleveland; Baton Rouge; 
Mandan, N.D.; and American Samoa. New York City scored in the middle.


Outgoing House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Pete King, R-N.Y., 
said communities immediately outside New York City have numerous 
communications systems that are incompatible with each other. That's 
also true in several other major urban areas, he said. A lot of 
progress has been made, King said. But the report shows how difficult 
an issue this is.


Congressional Democrats, who assume leadership of Congress on Thursday, 
are expected to address the issue as part of a campaign promise to pass 
all the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. The commission in 2004 
cited the urgent need for compatible and adequate communications among 
public safety organizations.

[WISPA] BreezeACCESS VL for WiSP. Limitations and tips

2007-01-03 Thread Javier Arigita

I work for a value added distributor in Spain. We are having a great success
in selling VL for WiSP here in Spain. We have a kind of COMNET program in
our country with 2Mbps SU. They have the same features as the SU-3-1D but
they are limited to 2048/512, one MAC and they are non-upgradable. In the
first installations of our customers have detected some limitations, maybe
due to our inexperience in the WiSP market (high number of CPE, third party
traffic...).

I would like to hear some feedback about this issues from you. This is the
scenario:

-Medium-noisy environment, 10MHz channels (which should work better than the
20MHz ones), 50 SU (mix of the special 2Mbps SU and the 3Mbps standard ones)
and 4 of 6Mbps, 1200pps peaks and 4Mbps mean traffic with 6Mbps peacks. 70%
of the customers were less than 4km away, the remainning ones were at 8km,
except for one at 11km. In this conditions the AU seemed to
get saturated. The customers complain about the conexion and we detect lost
packets and higher, no more than 500kbps in the best case for one customer
(within the 4Mbps mean traffic of the AU). They are using Allot as the
traffic shapping and bandwidth controller. In this specific case they
changed into 20MHz channel and even with the increase of noise they managed
to get better results. Their traffic is mainly data, some VoIP and p2p
limited by the Allot, the VL is AES encripted. The spanish regulation is
limited to 1W EIRP in 5.4GHz band.

My questions are:

-do you have any results of the maximum number of CPE in a sector for WiSP
purposes in several traffic scenarios?. In our case, the limit seems to be
around 70 CPE.

-do you have any recommendation about configuration tips to improve these
results?

Any feedback will be welcomed. Sorry for my crappy english and happy new
year to all of you.

Hi,
   those of you who use Canopy 900: what is the actual throughput 
you've gotten to the CPE?  4Mbps or less?  Has anyone run a bandwidth

Hello Tim,

When purchasing the grids the next time, select the HDGD58-29 antennas.
These come with a new L-Bracket that attaches to the reflector in 4
locations.  The L-Bracket is also tapped for easy installation.  This can 
be

seen on page 2 of the spec sheet:

Re: [WISPA] Sample Lease Agreement for Roof Rights

2007-01-03 Thread rabbtux rabbtux

John, I'd be interested in seeing these too and I'm a member.

I share my agreements to WISPA members. They are for placement on water
towers, grain legs, etc. We also have a subscriber agreement that others
have used as an example. I do not warranty them as being usable but you
can use them as you see fit. We suggest you take any agreement to an
attorney for consideration before using. You can register as a member by
going to signup.wispa.org.
Thank you,
John Scrivner

John,

I was looking across the net for sample roof rights leases and saw your
comment from Feb 06.  Are you still making it available to WISP members?  If
so, I'd be happy to submit a membership request.

Thank you for your consideration.

Kindly,

Don
