Hi John,
We have laid a foundation with the press here by sending out occasional
press releases about new tower locations and some of our green
alternative energy powered sites. I did not send a press release out
about this issue, the reporter was interviewing me for a community pride
issue
Actually, I disagree with Marlon on this one. The higher the gain on the
antenna, the narrower the beamwidth. Therefore, many times your main lobe
is shooting over the top of your clients. We have had better success with
lower gain omni's because the beamwidth is wider and more usable signal
That is what he is saying. Avoid the high gain 15dB omnis unless you know what
you do and design system right. There are cases where a high gain omni is well
suited but more then likely a 12dB omni would work as well if not better. You
want to make sure your signal goes where your clients are
Folks,
Thought you would all like heads up on the attached. The attached
notice is scheduled to be published by NTIA in the Federal Register
tomorrow, alerting those interested in the ARRA grant program that they
can commence scheduling meetings with NTIA staff to be held starting on
March 2,
Not sure if it's related or not, but high gain omni antennas are usually a
great big no no. They tend to send more signal UP than in the direction
of
the customers
I think you and I are in total agreement Rick!

The ONLY time I've suggested a high gain omni was in cases where the
customers are at the same level as the antenna. Things like down town
deployments from a building that's no taller than the ones around it.
Or, sometimes inside a building where you need greater coverage on one
floor.
What about an IP camera that does H.264?

Nay, on the same tower, near the turbine, but say 30 to 100 feet down. I
