Tom, Quick question, then my response... do all Apex's ship with the fiber port in them? I really have to bite my tounge... I don't want to get into what all happened (basically I don't want my thoughts made public and the customer I was working for to read them) but I was not impressed at all

Wouldn't that be great? Imagine those new Verizon Blackberry's the use our network to transport cell calls (for which Verizon still gets paid!!!) paying back to us for the use of the network. I think that in the end though, data needs to be thought of just like electricity, water, gasoline,

One more quick rant... those waveguide pieces SUCK. They caused many problems (screws on them stripping out, or some tech installing them the wrong way before it was sent up the tower and installed so I when we went to align them it wouldn't work because the waveguide was twisted 90 degrees...)

I had the same question. The main difference is that we know before the roll in most cases the frequency and color code and if that ap is blocked by trees we generally have several others in different directions that the tech can switch to on the fly. Most importantly, 6 months later it is

Hi, Having used the "voltmeter" vs. LED method of aligning, I will take the LED any day. One less piece of equipment to have to deal with on the tower, and a much more accurate way to see the true RSSI on the link. And, I think we already did the "pricing" thing about 5 months ago, didn't

LEDs lack resolution. While you can bracket the signal and guess at the center, with more significant digits you don't have to guess. Both methods work, but bracketing takes some skill. - Original Message - From: Travis Johnson To: WISPA General List Sent: Wednesday, November

Travis, Im a little late responding to this thread, but I will put my two cents in. Currently there are products on the market that are shipping that deliver 15-20mb per AP but you wont find much in the wimax arena that will ever deliver more than 50 mb, due to the need to use a small channel
