[WISPA] Are we being muscled out of the 5265 - 5700 frequencies?
Recent events make me wonder if the FCC is trying to muscle wisps out of these frequencies. Since we are primarily Ubiquiti equipment I can only speak from that platform. First the latest firmware update removes compliance test which for about 40% of our equipment deployed would render them unusable since 5735 - 5840 runs at - 50dBm or higher noise levels in our area, Second is new product released only supports 5735 - 5840. Seems like DFS is such a pain that manufacturers do not want to mess with it. Case in point the new NanoBeam M series only support 5725-5850 for USA. Worldwide version which we are not allowed to buy or deploy supports 5170-5875. Seems the only alternative is to go with licensed P2MP which makes more money for the FCC and drives the cost of wireless internet up for both wisps and consumers. -- Arthur Stephens Senior Networking Technician Ptera Inc.

[WISPA] RAD Airmux5000
We're having voice issues on our wireless network, specifically with voice quality, and we are looking for suggestions on how to tag specific vlans with COS (of 6) before they enter my RAD HBS. The complaints are primarily for static and sometimes choppy calls. We know that it's likely a voice priority concern that needs to be addressed, though just not sure how to do it. Some of my HBS' are connected to a cisco 48 port 3560 and a few are connected to an 8 port 2960. We're able to tag for the upload in the RAD HSU, though not for the download. Anything ideas...?

Re: [WISPA] Are we being muscled out of the 5265 - 5700 frequencies?
DFS always comes second due to a longer certification process. It'll eventually come. Some manufacturers seem to get approved more quickly, but that could be timing of announcements and not the actual certification process. -50 dBm? Where? Where? I do see where your address is and I am suspect. I am in suburban Chicago and I have at worst -70 noise floor. It's actually better in downtown Chicago at someone I know's apartment 22 floors up (maybe low-E glass?). Something is very wrong if you have a -50 dB noise floor. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Art Stephens asteph...@ptera.com To: wireless@wispa.org Sent: Friday, January 31, 2014 10:29:09 AM Subject: [WISPA] Are we being muscled out of the 5265 - 5700 frequencies?

The new NanoBeams will support DFS, they are just pending approval. Compliance Test - do you really want to go down that road? So what you just said, in a public forum, is that 40% of your radios are running illegally on frequencies they are not authorized to be on. Please pack up and go home.

Re: [WISPA] Are we being muscled out of the 5265 - 5700 frequencies?
People running on those TDWR frequencies like that without proper configuration are ruining the Unlimited Gain Antenna rule in the 5.8GHz band. It is before the FCC right now and WISPA just held a manufacturer's webinar about it. Every dish 2'+ would be affected, and would not be allowed any longer. No more 20-30 Mile 5GHz links. I truly hope you are not running your equipment inappropriately. Ubiquiti already has DFS certified gear, they are VERY familiar with the process, and they typically produce DFS options on their 5GHz platform.

Re: [WISPA] Are we being muscled out of the 5265 - 5700 frequencies?
Chuck has it right. See below. 33. Antenna Gain. Under Section 15.247, the assumed antenna gain is 6 dBi, with a 1 dB reduction in power required for every 1 dB that the antenna gain exceeds 6 dBi. For fixed point-to-point systems, no power reduction is required. Section 15.407 assumes the same antenna gain of 6 dBi, with 1 dB reduction in power required for every 1 dB that gain exceeds 6 dBi. For fixed point-to-point systems, a 1 dB reduction in power is required for every 1 dB that gain exceeds 23 dBi. The only difference between the two rule parts is the maximum antenna gain that can be deployed without a penalty in transmitter power. We propose to apply the more stringent 23 dBi maximum antenna gain that is currently required under Section 15.407. We believe that using the more stringent antenna gain requirement will ensure that there is no increase in the potential for interference from unlicensed devices operating under the new combined rule parts.

Recent events make me wonder if the FCC is trying to muscle wisps out of these frequencies. Since we are primarily Ubiquiti equipment I can only speak from that platform. First the latest firmware update removes compliance test which for about 40% of our equipment deployed would render them unusable since 5735 - 5840 runs at - 50dBm or higher noise levels in our area, Second is new product released only supports 5735 - 5840. Seems like DFS is such a pain that manufacturers do not want to mess with it. Case in point the new NanoBeam M series only support 5725-5850 for USA. Worldwide version which we are not allowed to buy or deploy supports 5170-5875. Seems the only alternative is to go with licensed P2MP which makes more money for the FCC and drives the cost of wireless internet up for both wisps and consumers. -- Arthur Stephens Senior Networking Technician Ptera Inc.
