Re: [WISPA] 3.650 Wimax in the field

2008-07-26 Thread Sales
Sorry to Hijack this but what was the final EIRP determined by the FCC on
3.65? I remember they were talking about allowing 24 watts I believe I read
on the site somewhere. Lastly where on the fcc site do you register your
base stations? What about searching the site for deployed base stations in
your area?

Thanks,

 From what I understand all manufactures are required to use the same
 GPS
 sync, so all WiMax gear with the appropriate timing settings equal can
 be
 timed together.  Apparently the FCC is requiring it for the equipment

 I would disagree. WiMAX should be a goal for most WISPs to get into
 their
 networks over the next 1-3 years.
 Why??? Roaming!!! It will be the real deal and the WISP market, if they
 do
 the right things, will be able to setup roaming agreements to exist
 with
 each other all over the USA.
 CPE will be available in all sorts of devices between 2.3 and 3.8 GHz
 and
 yes 3.65 falls in that window. Device frequency scanning will be
 dictated by
 
 availabilty. So if the WISP Market, small and large, build compatable
 3.65
 networks with viable roaming agreements with the right service flows
 everyone could be happy. Keep in mind the right things need to fall in
 place
 
 for this to happen.
 
 Hurdles...
 -CPE that really are interoperable and in many types of devices.
 -Base Station RF in a cellular sence. That equals build outs with
 competitive priced Base stations in mobile mind set.
 -Base stations from different manufactureers that can GPS sync with
 each
 other so UL/DL ratios can co exist in a given area. To my knowledge
 this
 does not exist yet but would be critical to help with interference in
 the
 3.65 GHz band. The WiMAX forum needs to make sure this does exist
 between
 base stations along with the interoperability standards they are
 developing.
 
 The GPS peice may exist but I have yet to see in in the standerds.

Re: [WISPA] [WISPA Members] Freespace Systems Introduces the first1, 000mW High Performance 802.11b/g Radio

2008-07-26 Thread Tom DeReggi
I'd like to add that in the USA, its really only good to use a 1watt radio 
for the CPE side, taking advantage of PtP rules, for long distances.

Using the full 30db at the AP is like death, if we remember back to the 
Metrocom days. Installing full power radios with 6 db omnis spewing noise in 
all directions, which is rarely needed for any deployment. Its usually 
better to get the gain from the antenna.  Also remember the requirement to 
reduce AP tx power 1db for every 3 db of antenna gain for the 3 to 1 rule. 
I'm a little surprised this was released by Valemount, considering Lonnie 
had always been big on using low power cards.

However, where these Higher power cards are good will be for long range PtP 
radios at high modulation. I have not checked the specs but I'm sure you'll 
find that the power output is less in high modulation G mode, giving a 
little more room to add higher gain antennas before dropping the power to 
much..

 I'm not sure why the tech sheet on it doesn't mention the true power
 output, but it is a 2+ watt radio. I was thinking about using a pair
 for amateur radio applications, where I don't have to stay within the
 part 15 limits. (but I suppose I'll be able to turn the power down
 after marveling at the strong signal).

 Hmmm, it almost seems like a 4 watt radio, Lonnie says it is 36dB

 she
 can unplug our equipment and the problems 'disappears'.  Lets see, 2.4Ghz
 and what, 6 or 11G for the dish tv.  don't see where on the RF front 
 there
 is a remote possibility of interference.  The coax goes around the house,
 our cat5 goes thru the crawlspace.  Anyone ever have these kinds of 
 issues?
 The customer expects me to re-install equipment on the other side of the
 house for free?  Any suggestions?

 Can you lock the ethernet on a different rate and see if it makes a 
 difference?

weird. It is still running but the receive signals are up in the high

bouncing 20db. I am on this tower at my house and could not connect last
night or this morning but now I am at my office and see that my radio at
home has connected. 

 

I at first thought the lightening deafened my radio but I am kinda

I agree.  Will this also mean that we will no longer be allowed to
block ports like 80 and 25?  What about ports 135-139 which actually
are blocked to prevent viruses and enhance security many times?  What
about web proxies?

Very disturbing.  Next they will ban bandwidth quottas.  Just wait.

Re: [WISPA] More FCC News - Net Neutrality

2008-07-26 Thread Forrest W. Christian
I have said this over and over in various forums:   Throttling/shaping 
on a per-application basis is not a good idea.   Bandwidth caps and 
pay-per-bit are the correct way to handle bandwidth hogs.   The FCC 
doesn't care how you limit, as long as you apply it equally to all 
bandwidth types.  

I believe the FCC's position is simple:  If you are a internet provider, 
you have to carry all types of traffic indiscriminately.

The FCC is *not* going to prevent blockage of ports and other limiting 
for legitimate network management reasons.   Preventing the use of 
bandwidth hog applications to fix your broken price model and 
resulting inadequate network is not going to be considered a valid 
reason for blocking or limiting one service over another.

Responding to a virus attack, or preventing spam or similar are valid 
reasons for performing at least temporary blocking.  But if your 
blocking gets in the way of a legitimate application, you need to be 
prepared to resolve any issues that come up.   All the FCC cares about 
is that the ISP's don't get to prevent a legitimate application from 
operating across their network.   A good example would be the widespread 
port 25 blocking which occurs.   It doesn't prevent legitimate mail from 
flowing (it is easy to configure around), but it does prevent spammers 
from using a network to spew mail out to the world.

I don't think there is an issue if you fully disclose to your customer 
exactly what you are doing.  If you tell the customer that you do your very 
best to kill or impair bittorrent then they have the choice of continuing 
with your or going somewhere else.  Comcast originally got pinched for not 
telling folks.  I hope that full disclosure allows us to content to do as we 
wish.

[WISPA] OLSR mesh with Demarctech

2008-07-26 Thread ralph
Hi-

I'm trying to get familiar with setting up wireless mesh using the
Demarctech products.  I'm very experienced with Tropos and Cisco outdoor
mesh, but the OLSR with its config files and lack of much status info is
throwing me for a loop.  There must be someone around who has done this and
I sure could use a talkin' to!

I'm doing a lot of wireless out in a big biker venue/campground in Sturgis
South Dakota beginning next week and wanted to try something less costly
than Tropos.

Anyone out there able to help?

Thanks

I do the same thing. Whenever we do an install we tell them before we do it
that we throttle ptp traffic. Wonder how this will play out as we are a

am wanting to change to a usage based model.

Re: [WISPA] More FCC News - Net Neutrality

2008-07-26 Thread Scottie Arnett
More on this...Many of us have not already implemented this because of our
competition from cable and dsl. Same for me! I think the the FCC has finally
provided ALL broadband providers a reason to implemente this(as we can't
control traffic) although it will be a major blow to the U.S. broadband
penetration. I know I have been waiting for it since 2002. Let the NEW games
begin!

Yet anither reason us (WISP) and all Cable and DSL(telcos) will go to a
usage based systemno more all you can eat. I am not sure, but I bet they
(FCC) have no control on us in that circumstance.

Just my 1 pence.

It looks like the FCC now has the votes necessary to sanction Comcast for
its P2P throttling.

es-comcast-p2p-throttling.html

 

It's set to be vote on officially next Friday.  This is a disturbing
decision if it implies that ISPs will no longer be allowed to control P2P
traffic flow originating from their own customers on their own networks.
