Is someone already using v6.5 in BreezeAcess VL radios? I'm looking for some input about its performance. Any comments? Thanks, Eduardo WISPA Wants You!

[WISPA] Towers
A few weeks ago, we wee talking about tower pricing... Today, I find myself in need of pricing for a 80-100 ft freestander we can rebar and pour our own foundation and put it up, just need the tower kit it will carry some M900 sectors and a backhaul...

[WISPA] Attenuation of polycarbonate or acrylic at 5.8Ghz?
Subject: Attenuation of polycarbonate or acrylic plastic? Hi, we're building a wireless video observation system for a lumber mill loading area. This is an extremely rough-duty environment with huge logs swinging around, and any exposed antennas, cameras, etc. would shortly be smashed to bits. We're thinking of installing everything in a 1.5 ft. diameter thickwall steel pipe, and installing our required 5.8Ghz panel antenna flush with the end of the pipe, covered with a 2 thick piece of polycarbonate or acrylic. The link only needs to work at a distance of around 150 feet. However I can't find much info on-line about the RF attentuation of clear plastic materials (or if it's even enough to matter) at 5.8Ghz. Anyone out here ever had to do something like this? Thanks, Tom S. WISPA Wants You!

How far (distance) are you trying to go ? a few hundred feet ? then don't worry yourself too much. a few miles ? then feel free to experiment .

Trying this again, it did not post the first time. rOn 5/25/2011 10:55, Eduardo wrote: Is someone already using v6.5 in BreezeAcess VL radios? I'm looking for some input about its performance. I've got a few customers running it. From what they tell me there is no difference in performance between it and 6.0.21. The only change in the software affects the upgrade keys, so if you need to buy an upgrade key, you'll need 6.5.7 going forward. You can downgrade, but the 6.5.7 code will modify the downgraded code to accept the new software license keys. This way if you need 6.0.21 or 5.5x on the network you can still use the new license features. -- *Bryan Fields* *APAC Imports LLC* Phone: 800-721-6502 Fax: 727-493-1511 http://apacimports.com WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Towers
Maybe their heavy duty models but the light and medium weight have weak cross bracing that hurts your feet? I've seen heavy winds twist bend them too easily.
