[WISPA] Just got bit by 3.65Ghz rules...

2008-08-06 Thread reader
I was in the process of registering a location in preparation to run a licensed 3.65 ghz link. In fact, I wanted to run 3 of them from the same site. That can be done by using 5 mhz channels, and at this time, that would be sufficient bandwidth... But no. At 5 mhz bandwidth, I can't have

What can it do that Radio Mobile does not? I have been engineering microwave paths since 1978. Back in the day it was curved path profile paper and counting elevation lines on a topo map. I have used about a half dozen software products over the years, including the original on line version

Chuck, I am probably one of the biggest supporters of Radio Mobile, love the software and agree with you. What Radio Mobile does not do well is things like reliability factors for hot standby and if you build in diversity antennas. For most WISP's this is not an issue. To that end, Radio

I don't know the answer to that question. I have always pondered the issue of fade margin on digital paths. If you factor in an error checking in both the modulation methods and the TCPIP stack, you can deal with minor fades and in many cases you might not even notice a short fade. At that point

List prices range from $795 to around $1500, depending on whether they are single or dual lens (day / night) and the output resolution. We mostly use the m22 it or the m22 sec, which range from $795 to $995. You can find some discounts, but there's not a lot of margin in these products. Tom S.
