[WISPA] Happy Mothers Day

2010-05-09 Thread St. Louis Broadband
Thanks Rick and Kudos to your wife! I know that this is a tough business, especially for women. My daughter just stopped by to wish me a happy M-Day. I was happy to see her. She is 18 and has a busy social life :-( She reminded me that she believes my 'real' child is my WISP. Remember that

[WISPA] 5MHz Channel Drawbacks?

2010-05-09 Thread Robert West
I have an area that's developed some noise and after watching the spectrum analyzer all week I'm thinking of going to 5MHz channels there. I'm using 5GHz UBNT APs with all MIMO CPEs. I did a test with 5MHz width and was hitting 32.5mbps TX, 13mbps RX throughput so that part is cool but are

Interference. It's easier to get away and more power is focused on the smaller channel, but if anything does interfere it does way more damage. Compatibility. If you want to do another CPE or AP it may not work. On 5/9/10, Robert West robert.w...@just-micro.com wrote: I have an area that's

It's all about signal to noise. You get a dramatic increase in signal to noise with 5 MHz channels. I have a couple sectors running 1/4 channels. I call them my trouble sectors. Horizontally polarized, I put distant customers on them who had trouble making the distance at full channel. I've

I'm not sure about all U-NII bands in the US, but in some countries one might exceed power spectral density limitations(dBm/MHz) using narrow channels. Rubens On Sun, May 9, 2010 at 5:33 PM, Robert West robert.w...@just-micro.com wrote: I have an area that's developed some noise and after

Yeah, I thought about that. I've been having interference issues at 20MHz and switched to 10MHz but still having some issues off and on. I'm thinking of pulling two of the sectors down to 5MHz and try it for a week or so. Not many users on those 2 so we should be okay on the throughput.

Yeah, changed the AP to all 10MHz but still having fade outs. Spectrum analyzer shows a few consistnt holes I could drop into that should work perfectly with 5MHz. I'll try it on 2 sectors for a bit. Bob- - Original Message - From: Leon D. Zetekoff wa4...@backwoodswireless.net To:
