[WISPA] FCC requests comment on smaller dishes for 11 GHz
I recall some past discussion bemoaning the large dish sizes required for licensed links .. I just found this in the latest "Rural Spectrum Scanner" from Bennett Law (http://www.bennetlaw.com/rss.php?vol=13&issue=12). Should WISPA endorse this? I'm not familiar with the details of 11 GHz regulation. *FCC Seeks Comment on the Use of Smaller Antennas in the 11 GHz Band* The FCC has released a *Public Notice* announcing that it has adopted a *Notice of Proposed Rulemaking* seeking comment on whether to permit the installation of smaller antennas by Fixed Service (FS) operators in the 10.7-11.7 GHz band. The FCC initiated the rulemaking pursuant to a Petition for Rulemaking filed by FiberTower, Inc., a wireless backhaul provider, proposing to change the technical parameters that would permit the use of smaller FS antennas with reduced mainbeam gain, increased beamwidth, and modified sidelobe suppression in the 11 GHz band. The FCC seeks comment on whether FiberTower, Inc.'s proposals would serve the public interest by facilitating the efficient use of the 11 GHz band while protecting other users in the band from interference due to the use of smaller antennas. The pleading cycle has not yet been established.

Re: [WISPA] Vonage
Outstanding find! I checked out the summary you posted on your site. Equipped with patent numbers I know how to access them from uspto well enough ... and they're free (have almost 40 issued under my name). I can fully understand how a company can independently develop and use an algorithm that another company has patented (the finding that the infringement was not "willful"). However, I've been in the industry long enough to know that "you got'ta check" before you ship a product if you intend to compete with big fish that take IPR seriously. Only a newbie (completely unfamiliar with the concept of IPR) could make such an eggregious error (which should indicate as well as anything that Vonage is, in fact, newbie). Never used pacer. Looked it up (http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov/) and it looks interesting. I'd love to read the verdict just for interests sake. Do you need a separate email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as your post reads?

Re: [WISPA] New Alvarion CPE- Excellent

What will matter most, is real world trials. If it looses 2-3db, that would be disappointing. I do not have the history to compare Alvarion against their own older models, and can only compare them to multiple other manufacturer units, that we've used over time.

[WISPA] New Principal Member - MetaLINK Technologies, Inc.
Here is one fast growing WISP operator! Eric Merkel from MetaLINK Technologies, Inc. has joined up as WISPA's newest Principal Member. I am so happy to see such a broad range of WISPs becoming part of WISPA. We have many operators of various sizes joining now every week and our combined customer bases will soon be able to show regulators, investors, legislators, etc. that WISPs are a much more important part of the entire broadband industry than many would have believed. I want to personally thank Eric and all from MetaLINK Technolgies for making the decision to support WISPA and look forward to working with you to promote and improve the WISP industry. Here is a little background on Eric and MetaLINK: MetaLINK Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1996 as a dial-up ISP in Northwest Ohio by myself (Eric Merkel), Todd Harpest and Julie Latham. Over the past 11 years, MetaLINK has expanded its service offerings to include Web Hosting, DSL, Network Consulting and Administration, CLEC/Dial-up Wholesaling and of course Broadband Fixed Wireless in 2002. MetaLINK's wireless coverage area (http://wireless.metalink.net/ml_coverage.jpg) is mainly in Northwest Ohio but we also reach into Northeastern Indiana and Southeastern Michigan. We serve both residential and business customers using a variety of unlicensed frequencies (900Mhz, 2.4GHz, 5.8Ghz). To date we have over 2500 wireless subscribers and are adding over a 100 new accounts per month. MetaLINK is excited to now be a part of WISPA. WISPA's lobbying and other efforts are finally giving the small WISP's voice in Washington. We look forward to working with everyone and shaping the future of the Broadband Wireless Industry!

Re: [WISPA] Postini Mail Scanning Service
Mark, As a WISPA sponsoring vendor for Postini, I can offer some information as I was a Postini customer before I was asked to become a Postini Partner Reseller. Postini uses an MX directed service that redirects your customer's messages through the Postini hosted filtering data centers. Accounts can be manually created or use one of two automated user creation methods. There are no software or hardware concerns and the interface is 100% web based for all your system administration. Since closing down our dialup data center in 2002, we moved all our webhosting to our secondary provider we have used from our beginning and needed stronger filtering methods. Since we were too far away to administer an appliance type service, e.g. Barracuda, Ironport, etc., we gave Postini a try. Our main concern was reducing our server loads and increased disc space for handling the increasing amount of spam and viruses. Postini handled this by being at the front edge of the network and killing off a significant amount of wasted bandwidth created by spam/viruses, a definite plus. Since we did both virtual and dedicated hosting, our virtually hosted accounts that had high amounts of spam traffic, we saw increased server performance and significant amount of reduced disc space as well as reduced bandwidth overall. The cost of using Postini was genuinely a concern, but so was the potential cost of losing revenue from customers wanting a better filtering service and costs of increased bandwidth and server resources. We took advantage of Postini's 30 day trial and gave all our clients the same. We put all of our customer domains on the service and in using Postini's reporting, were able to see our largest email contributors and provide those stats to our customers on a before and after period of using Postini. This provided a good development tool in determining our costs to our customers and how we could offer the service to them and at what price. That said, we also began reaching outside of our own hosted customers and promoted Postini to other businesses, especially those hosting their own mail servers, e.g., MS Exchange. We again offered free trials and developed a significant amount of additional business by promoting Postini and leveraging their existing marketing and press credentials. By Postini being a hosted service, (Software as a Service - SaaS) we were also able to provide businesses with multiple offices a centralized management control of their email system messages. We have customers with as little as five accounts and some with over a thousand users and I can honestly say our churn is hardly measurable in almost 4 years of providing Postini, because they did not like or afford the service. One of the best features I feel Postini offers is a wireless feature for filtering to PDA's, e.g. Blackberry and Treo's. We actually have a few IT specialty companies promoting this feature alone and doing a very good job at that. As for the impact, all I can say is that in all my time providing Internet related services, I have never had an easier time than that in offering Postini. In fact, I have completely focused my company's direction on providing Postini exclusively and hopefully adding other related email services in the future. In closing, no matter what service you use for spam/virus control, your customers need it and want it. Best Regards, Frank Muto President FSM Marketing Group, Inc.

Re: [WISPA] Postini Mail Scanning Service
We love it! 1: Two ways. Enter each addy by hand. Or there's an autocreate in which a user just has to get 3 emails in 24 hours and the account is automatically set up. We usually set up our hosted customers this way as it saves everyone time. They just create a new email account then send it a few test messages and poof, postini is up and running. 2: VERY low personel overhead. And it's always as current as anyone's gonna get. It's a "professional" third patry contractor for us, makes it easier to upsell. Also very few false positives. 3: GUI isn't at all intuitive when setting up new domains etc. Has spurts of heavy misses. 4: Optional service. We charge $1 per email account for spam/virus filtering. Just over 100% margin for this service. 5: I'll bet we've had less than 5 people decide it wasn't worth it. Ever. We have hundreds of email accounts using it now. The best part is that *I* don't need local tallent or contractors to admin yet another box or another service on an existing box. It's also stopping traffic BEFORE it gets to my network. We have lower bw needs due to postini. I've had customers trim 10 to 15 GIGS per month just by adding postini. The amount of html content is shocking in all of that spam crap. laters, Marlon (509) 982-2181 (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)WISP Operator since 1999!

RE: [WISPA] New Alvarion CPE- Excellent
Hello Tom, Got any pictures? Good to hear they improved the mounting design. The old design was too small for many of the pipes we use. If the new design will accommodate 3 1/2" - 4" pipes then that is a nice improvement. Wow, they changed the CAT5 weather seal and now a terminated CAT5 cable will pass through!?! I wonder if they are also now adhering to 568A & 568B standards too? (friendly jab in the side) Seems to me I remember Patrick attempting to belittle me after I shed a little light on this design flaw. Patrick's statement not long ago: "The gaul of us to create a tight seal. I am sorry you are not able to figure out how to attach the connector Brad. Thousands of others seem to manage just fine and when is the last time you ever heard of anyone complaining about water intrusion into a VL VPE or PoE line?" H...So, do I get an apology now Patrick? Looks like your own design team has rethought the CAT5 weather seal. It is good to see Alvarion is listening to the end user even if they don't admit it. Maybe dual band and dual polarity is just around the corner. They had better hurry up with it before Trango releases their OFDM product with DB and DP.
