I already have the 18ghz set sitting on the shelf, that would be the only
reason to use it.

Here's the interesting thing about a link that long:

2ft dishes = 99.9955% uptime (23 minutes per year outage)
4ft dishes = 99.9992% uptime (5 minutes per year outage)

I can live with 23 minutes per year if I can use 2ft dishes.

Hi,
 
Does anyone have any information on long 18ghz links? I keep running the 
path calculations on a link I am considering (28 miles with 2ft dishes) 
and I come up with 99.99% uptime for my region.
 
I would really like to chat with anyone that has anything around that 
range and frequency. I'm having a hard time believing those uptime 
numbers even in my area.

Speaking from experience... you may change your mind when your customers 
start calling. You DO NOT ever want your customers to think rain can 
take down your network. It only takes a couple of rain storms with 
associated outages to ruin your customer's perception.

for a

Re: [WISPA] Longest 18ghz link

2007-10-08 Thread Travis Johnson
I am using the calculator made by the company that made the radio 
(WitCom). They are +22db radios and they show using 2ft dishes a -55 
RSSI with a needed -77 to keep the link up. These are not the newer 
style, auto modulating radios. They are 45Mbps full-duplex, and either 
they are up, or they are down. They don't rate shift or anything like that.


I have two other links using these radios... one is 19 miles with 4ft 
dishes and we have never even seen the signal fade by 2db even in the 
heaviest rain storms. This is different than our 15 mile Dragonwave 
radios that we see 10-15db fades during the same storms.

RE: [WISPA] RF propagation map: WiFi vs WiMax?

2007-10-08 Thread Patrick Leary
Another inaccurate post. Jeff assumes that a UL WiMAX 5.8 GHz system
will look like a licensed version. He also assumes 802.16e means mobile
-- it does not, 802.16e systems can be mobile, fixed, nomadic or
combinations of these. The WiMAX Forum will eventually have an 802.16e
profile for 5 GHz, but the systems themselves will be designed for the
realities of UL in 5 GHz (so they will be designed for fixed). As such,
they will not have lots of the expensive things needed in a mobile WiMAX
network like ASN gateways, AAA servers, etc.

At this point, it is probably best to ignore Jeff's posts regarding
WiMAX. They are thus far simply wildly off the mark.

802.16e in 5.8ghz would be absolutely the biggest waste of money ever  
as you wouldn't get a true mobile network but your network costs  
would be around, yaknow, 300k for a market of 20k people for just  
BASE station equipment.

The way to go if you are really worried about upward compatibility  
( and you own licenses or want to lease spectrum ) is to build a MOFO  
network using ATCA solutions, but still you are talking for just 4  
sectors of Wimax with scaleablity to multiple bands and sectors, 50k  
per base station to start. The key is going to market with a solution  
that has both a SDR system but low cost initially.

 We did consider deploying Wi-Max 802.16e (802.16d totally out of

 the standard Wi-Max still seems to be rather immature as most   
 aspects are similar to 802.11a/g. Then again this applies only to  
 the initial Wave-1 compliant Wi-Max devices but once wave-2  
 standardized equipment comes we should have smarter antenna systems  
 (MIMO,beamforming) with which we will definitely get a better  
 performance.

 So for the time being I think in terms of performance, pricing and  
 technology it's better to stick to Wi-Fi!

 Just curious if anyone has seen a coverage map that compares WiFi

 I spent a little bit of time researching WiMax, but decided I  
 would be unlikely to have a license and to just go with what I  
 have that mostly works (unlicensed). But I would like to know what  
 WiMax means in a rural, tree filled environment.

 As a novice WISP (about 18 months now), I can only hope for good  
 coverage with 2.4GHz to maybe a mile. A rare house might have LOS  
 farther than that, but generally there will be enough trees in the  
 way by a mile to block my signal.  (this is using farm grain legs/ 
 silos for the AP, so maybe 150' max AGL)   If I switch to 900MHz,  
 maybe the distance gets out to 2.5 miles.

 Would a 2.5GHz Wimax AP push the signal much better thru trees?  I  
 suppose it would make a difference what was at the customer end -  
 a laptop with a WiMax card vs a fixed, outdoor radio.  And does AP  
 height help a lot?  I don't see an advantage to paying commercial  
 tower rates to get above 200' in my situation, but maybe that  
 changes with WiMax.

ROADSTAR’S NEW INET LOUDOUN WIRELESS BROADBAND SERVICE ‘A ROCKET SHIP’
ULTRA-HIGH SPEED CONNECTIONS NOW AVAILABLE FOR LOUDOUN BUSINESSES!
LEESBURG, VA (October 8, 2007) – Marty Dougherty, CEO of Roadstar Internet,
the area’s largest Independently-owned Wireless Broadband Internet provider,
announced today the company has successfully completed field trials of its
new INET Loudoun™ service. He said that Roadstar began full-scale deployment
of the wireless-fiber network recently and customers may now sign up for
service in its OnNet™ designated buildings.
Dougherty said Roadstar plans to connect hundreds of buildings to the INET
Loudoun network within the next 18-24 months. 

John Wood, CEO of Loudoun County based Telos Corporation, one of the first
INET Loudoun trial sites, said, “Rather than calling it ‘INet Loudoun,’ I
think a better name … is ‘Rocket ship Loudoun.’”
INET Loudoun service shatters all previous boundaries businesses faced
obtaining “real” broadband connections. The new service offers ultra
high-speed symmetrical connections for commercial, institutional and
government use, Dougherty said. Roadstar's INET Loudoun offers fiber like
connection speeds to these users hard-pressed to find any type of high
capacity broadband connection options – much less at a reasonable price.
Dougherty predicts that’s INET Loudoun service will radically change the
playing field once dominated by wire-based providers. With today’s
announcement, Roadstar is offering INET Loudoun services that rival direct
fiber links at T1 pricing levels.
At the core of the INET Loudoun service offering is the latest in broadband
wireless technology. Using GigE 80 Ghz licensed millimeter wave RF
technology from Bridgewave Communications, Roadstar is now able to build
multiple gigabit backbone network pipes–“wireless fiber”–which provide
fiber-like connectivity speeds, but with the inherent cost and flexibility
only available from wireless.
Deploying wireless fiber means Roadstar’s INET Loudoun network will be build
out in a fraction of the time it would take to construct a similar
terrestrial-based fiber network. No digging or endless waits for permits and
construction; in many cases customers can go from conception to online
within days instead of weeks or months.
Roadstar is one of the first ISP's in the nation to deploy GigE millimeter
wave technology licensed by the Federal Communications Commission into the
core of its network. Because of this, Loudoun businesses will be among the
first in the nation to enjoy the results- high capacity connections for
their business at reasonable prices.
Since the company’s beginnings in 2003, Roadstar Internet’s engineering
staff has constantly researched and tested new equipment to determine the
best use of available licensed and unlicensed equipment and spectrum to
deliver dependable high capacity broadband to its customers. 
Roadstar also unveiled a new Web site at www.roadstarinternet.com and
Dougherty said complete pricing information for all services could be found
there.
Additional information about Roadstar or the INET Loudoun Network is
available at the company Web site at www.roadstarinternet.com or contact
David Hughes, Director of Communications, at 703-234-9969

Limited tours may be available of the new facilities.


Roadstar Internet/INET Loudoun Fact Sheet
What is different about Roadstar’s INET and all the other wireless services
we hear about?
•   Today, several wireless providers such as Roadstar Internet can
provide users with T1-level service. There are more services coming, and the
soon to be auctioned 700 MHz airwaves may bring additional providers for
residential users. 
•   INET Loudoun service is radically different because it focuses on
the needs of heavy users and businesses needing very dependable, high
quality high capacity broadband connections. Company CEO Marty Dougherty
said that by utilizing this technology, Roadstar can  provide a T1 like
service for significantly less expense then a standard wired T1 (1.5Meg)
from an alternative provider. “What we are really excited about is being
able to offer you a 10-50 meg connection over the same network,” he said.
•   These lower costs mean the difference for a business considering
whether to stay in or relocate into Loudoun County. For many high tech
companies, a broadband internet connection is mission critical to DELIVERING
their product to the marketplace.
•   INET Loudoun connected buildings will be the place to locate!
What exactly is an “OnNet” Building and why would a business want to locate
there?
•   If a building or complex is designated as being “OnNet”, business
owners know in advance that the location already has the infrastructure in

NiceI've got all Fes and FESX's right now but working on a new plan for
XMR's and MLX's. I want MPLS and BGP to ride across the OSPF backbone.
Can I ask where you are getting them? We buy our foundry stuff from
Goldfield Telecom.
