RE: [WISPA] flooded lmr 600
There definitely is a LMR-DB that is water tight. The regular LMR coax is just water resistant and you have done well to find your problem! I remember the first run of LMR I had to get moisture in it about 5 years ago - - - I pulled my hair out trying to figure that one out, but I was still wet behind my ears in wireless then too :) GL, Mac From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of chris cooper Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 7:48 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: [WISPA] flooded lmr 600 Hi- I have some runs of LMR 600 that are contained in carlon conduits. We had been noticing continued performance decline in the remote APs connected to the APs. I popped open the boxes at the end of each conduit and water came pouring out. The contractor probably didnt glue a connection properly or the blacktop contractor cracked it when he put the paving down. There is no way to replace the conduit. This install has been in 3.5 years. Not sure how long the water has been in the conduits, but it looks to be a good while. Im assuming the cable has been compromised slightly over time- can water get through the jacket? Is there such a thing as an underwater Ethernet cable, will silicone flooded do the trick?

Re: [WISPA] SR9 Performance
We have not finished testing yet so we are keeping a bit quiet. I do not wish to promote this until I know for sure it is reliable. I can say that initial testing shows much better results than cw is seeing. Of course we do not use omnis and coat hangers but rather PacWireless 9 dB, 11 dB and 13 dB yagis. Our initial test configuration is a 4 port WAR board with 2 SR9 radios in the bottom slots and 2 WLM-54G radios in top slots. We run from 24V solar, so the voltage goes from 21V to 28V depending on state of charge and battery. With our tower locations I can hit the both directions up and down our Valley on both 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz. Wer figure almost everybody should be able to connect with one or both. The preference will be for 2.4 GHz and use 900 MHz for tough jobs. I'll have more information later this week as we begin to connect a few customers and let them beat on it.

[WISPA] Wireless Industry Partnership (WIP) Launches Online Resource For Wireless Companies Worldwide
All, I was looking through the members and found WISPA listed. Regards, Dawn DiPietro Wireless Industry Partnership (WIP) Launches Online Resource For Wireless Companies Worldwide Written by WIP Tuesday, 05 September 2006 The Wireless Industry Partnership (WIP) today announced the launch of the WIP portal, a set of tools and resources for wireless companies around the world, available online at www.wipconnector.com. WIP�s online tools and resources help businesses reduce time to market for innovative wireless products and services. Vancouver, BC � August 28, 2006 �� WIP estimates there are more than 40,000 wireless companies worldwide and designed these tools and resources in an effort to fuel business opportunities for member companies as well as to stimulate growth and innovation in the wireless industry. The key WIP tool is WIPConnector, an innovative directory that allows members to pinpoint the industry people with whom they need to network. WIPConnector is a free service for members of the Wireless Industry Partnership. The WIP portal includes other resources to reduce the time to market for new wireless products and services, aid research and development initiatives, uncover channel opportunities and achieve other important business goals. While most analyst firms believe the global telecommunications market will grow by only single digits over the next several years, these same analysts forecast sustained double-digit growth in wireless. Insight Research Corporation�s 2006 Telecommunications Industry Review predicts the wireless services market will approach one trillion dollars (US) by 2010 and represent more than 55 percent of the entire telecommunications market. Although it is the telecom growth engine, the wireless industry itself is growing beyond telecommunications with technologies such as Bluetooth, Global Positioning System (GPS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and others. �Wireless technology will very soon touch the lives of every person who uses technology,� said Caroline Lewko, WIP founder and CEO. �All around the world there are entrepreneurs that not only create new wireless technologies and applications, but change the way entire industries solve problems, deliver goods and services and enhance life�s conveniences through the use of wireless. But the wireless industry continues to be very segmented with each segment dealing with disparate technologies, platforms and operating systems, a variety regulatory environments, lack of standards and a host of other issues. WIP understands the complicated and challenging waters wireless businesses need to navigate in order to become successful, so we developed the tools available via the WIP portal to help them succeed.� Membership is available to companies and individuals at an introductory rate of $300 (US) per year. WIP has also signed collaboration agreements with industry associations around the world such as the MX Alliance based in the UK and the Ottawa Wireless Cluster in Canada, and is negotiating with others. Members of these organizations are able to join WIP at a reduced rate. A key benefit for WIP members is the ability to create a WIPConnector profile � a virtual billboard advertisement that gives even the smallest wireless companies exposure to a vast array of potential partners, customers, distribution channels, investors and other strategic relationships. One of the first companies to join WIP and take advantage of WIPConnector is Technical Magic, an Ottawa, Canada-based corporate application development company and architect of Techano�, which offers the MovementMobile product line, an intelligent wireless system designed specifically for the courier industry. �As a growing wireless company we are looking to build business-to-business relationships for our MovementMobile product with inner-city courier support channels,� said Gary Hewett, founder and chief software architect of Technical Magic Corporation. �Membership in WIP offers us a highly cost-effective way to increase the global visibility and awareness of Technical Magic. WIP helps us collect valuable market data while the WIPConnector directory has quickly plugged our expanding company into the broader wireless community.� At launch the WIP portal will include a wide range of tools and resources for members, which WIP plans to expand over the next six months. These tools and resources will continue to evolve over time with member input. To find out more about the WIP portal, WIPConnector directory and membership, visit www.wipconnector.com.

Re: [WISPA] wireless fiber deployment
Licensed 70 to 80 GHz actually has less oxygen absorption of the signal than 60 GHz (by several orders of magnitude). If you are providing a Service Level Agreement with 5 - 9's or better % uptime then you should stick with a licensed product IMO. As Matt states below, both companies offer a licensed product. Depending on the rainfall annually where you are deploying you may get nearly the same uptime in 60 GHz, especially since it is just 0.4 miles. I would research before making a choice though if uptime requirements are strict. Remember to make sure you research your connection into the network also. Your point of demarcation will need to be identified. In many cases it is a port from the switch that you would provide. Make sure you select a switch compatible with the radio product you launch. If they provide the switch demarc point then make sure it is on the list of tested and known good hardware for connecting to the link you setup. Before quoting the product make sure you remember things like back-up power, downlead selection, surge and lightning suppression, stand-by spare radios for replacement, etc. Ask to see the software management interfaces for the radios being considered. If you buy radios that work but you cannot diagnose what is wrong when they break then you have a problem. It is not like you will have a 60 to 90 GHz signal meter or spectrum analyzer anytime soon so the software management interface is very important. If you do not address these things now then you will be sorry later. If I were you I would at least get a quote or two from fiber construction companies to see if a fiber could be built for same or less money. Depending on the location this might be the more efficient solution. That is the biggest beef I have with the millimeter-wave crowd right now. They try to think in terms of how much money they can squeeze out for each single link sale instead of looking at the mass potential if we could all get our hands on low-cost Gigabit backhaul to all of our towers. Ken and I have been beating this into their brains now for a couple of years. It will sink in someday when they think it is their idea. :-) jk Scriv Matt Liotta wrote: We deploy BrideWave gear and have been happy with it.
