[WISPA] RB333
Hi, Just another heads up on the Mikrotik Routerboard noise issues. We mounted an RB333 using an 18v PoE within about 3 feet of a HAM operator antenna on a tower. He called last week and asked if we had made any changes lately. He said he started seeing noise issues (repeater getting keyed, etc.) since we installed the RB333. Today we replaced the RB333 with an RB433 and the problem went away completely. It would appear the RB333 has some of the same noise issues as the old RB532 boards. It's possible this could affect emergency services (140-150mhz) repeaters as well as HAM stuff. Travis Microserv WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Anyone Willing to Speak? Deadline is Sat.
I think that there should probably be a few more speakers. The ones listed are good, but it takes a variety to get people to come back.

[WISPA] ROI on wireless infrastructure for traffic solutions (e.g. ITS band)
Today I talked with a company that is investigating wi-fi infrastructure that supplements their traffic solutions. What I found most interesting was that these wi-fi solutions pay for themselves extremely quickly if they do things like save fuel, increase ridership, etc. My question to the group is, How do I find more about these types of ROI reports? Lately, I've been investigating how companies pay infrastructure, particularly ones I want to sell them! Any and all pointers in this direction would be greatly appreciated! WISPA Wants You!
