[WISPA] Alvarion VL-900
Does anybody know if the firmware files for the 5.xGhz firmware will load on the 900 VL line? I'm having quite the time trying to upgrade to the 5.5.26 firmware on the VL 900 gear. If there is a different file and you have, please send it along offlist. Thanks, -Cameron WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] RAD/Radwin x Wi-Fi
My understanding was they were using standard Wifi Chipsets, but provided their own TDD mac. Similar to the concept of Alvarion VL, that uses Atheros chipset, with their own proprietary MAC. I'm pretty sure RadWin was the first to do this to accomplish immulated Full Duplex, with a single half-duplex designed chipset. This was way before, all the recent trend SoftwareTDD packages. The units are also the same as the equivellent Ceragon models. So there is some intellectual property that was licensed or oem'ed to the other, to make that viable. Outside of that, I cant help. But thought I'd ask. What testing tools are you using to perform RFC-2544 performance testing ?

Although costly backhaul vendors (Redline, Motorola) keep telling me that RAD/Radwin are Wi-Fi based, my testing of them insist on telling me otherwise... for instance, AirMux-200 pass with flying colors thru RFC-2544 performance testing with maximum performance (18 Mbps) even for 64 byte frames (27 kpps), which is a very good pps rate compared to the 2kpps of a Ubiquiti Nanostation (non-M). Data rates are indeed similar comparing AirMux-200 to 802.11a, although Radwin tops at 48 Mbps air rate, not 54 Mbps; the MIMO model have data rates that look very much like the MCS8-15 802.11n data rates, suggesting that there are indeed some Wi-Fi heritage in the product, no matter what the tests say. Any ideas on what is going down to the bit level ? Rubens WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Searchable Map of Stimulus projects
I could not volunteer to review apps, because I am involved as a grant applicant, and it would have compromised my eligibility. It is disappointing that my app did not make submission in round1, but it will be there in round2. I think it is awesome that you offered your time to contribute to the review process! I hope more follow your lead. Tom DeReggi RapidDSL Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband - Original Message - From: David E.

[WISPA] Letter from BTOP
Has anyone else received this letter from BTOP? We received it yesterday. Dear BTOP applicant: Thank you for submitting your application for the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP), the $4.7 billion grant program established by Congress in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) to expand and enhance broadband capabilities in the United States. The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is working to ensure that funds from the Recovery Act are made available as quickly, effectively, and fairly as possible. In the Recovery Act, NTIA was authorized to consult with states, territories, possessions, and the District of Columbia (states) regarding the identification of unserved and underserved areas within their borders and the allocation of grants funds to projects affecting each state. Accordingly, NTIA is making relevant information about your project available on its website www.broadbandusa.gov for states and the public to review: applicant name, contact information, amount requested, and a description of the application. On September 8, 2009, you also received an email from NTIA requesting your permission to post your project's Executive Summary, or a partially redacted version thereof, on www.broadbandusa.gov. Assuming you have granted the requested permission, this information will also be made available to states and the public. If you have not yet responded to our September 8 email, please do so (to b...@ntia.doc.gov) at your earliest convenience. NTIA is affording states the opportunity to comment on BTOP applications that propose to serve areas within their jurisdiction and to provide an explanation of why certain applications meet the greatest needs of the state. Information provided by states will be among the factors considered by NTIA in making final awards. To protect any confidential information or trade secrets contained in your application, NTIA is providing states with only the limited information described above. Many states may wish to consider additional information contained in your application before making recommendations to NTIA and may contact you to request such information. Because states have been asked to submit any recommendations to NTIA by October 14, 2009, we recommend you respond as quickly as possible to any information requests from states to give them sufficient time to consider it before commenting to NTIA. We also request that you do not send information to the states unless and until! you are asked to do so by a state. Please note that your application remains under consideration until NTIA has notified you in writing regarding any changes to your status. Notifications will be made on a rolling basis in the coming weeks, and as such you may not hear from NTIA immediately. Thank you again for applying to BTOP. If you have any further questions regarding the state consultation process, please call (202) 482-2048 or email us at b...@ntia.doc.gov and we will do our best to assist you as quickly as possible.
