Many of you have heard about the DNS problem facing the Internet. If you haven't, I have posted some links to my blog that you should read immediately. Even if you think you are safe, it is important to look at BOTH test sites to ensure you are ready. I am far from being an alarmist, but

[WISPA] July was a busy month for new 3.65 GHz gear

2008-08-07 Thread Patrick Leary
Looks like the pipe is filling with options. In July Redline received new FCC approvals, as did Airspan, Aperto (6/30), Ubiquity, Solectek and Axxcelera. Ubiquity also received a 3.65 GHz operator license, presummably for testing. That's a smart move on their part and one wonders why more vendors

[WISPA] Harmonic Frequencies

2008-08-07 Thread 3-dB Networks
I understand the principle of harmonic frequencies, but in this case I'm not sure about the application... I've got a Canopy SM mounted to the control building of a 1000ft communications tower. SM has odd jitter/spectrum analysis readings. Tower engineers claim nothing on the tower is operating

With that much power on UHF TV a rusty nail in a fence could be mixing that channel with some other broadcast frequency and making a signal on your frequency. Anything is possible when you get close to high power RF. Can you drive a quarter mile away and get a good signal? Try to see if the

Honestly haven't put that much work into it (well its really not my problem anymore, but the techs still call me with the weirder ones). Just get a truck roll out there every six months or so. I think the techs are primarily replacing the radios... maybe the radios are going deaf? The SM shows

Could also be something traveling down your cat5 into the unit and creating havoc. These types of problems are more likely at high powered sites than harmonics. Try another unit if possible. Verify good grounding and bonding practices. Good luck Bob Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Good luck. We fought this fight last year. First they said the problem didn't exist. So, we sent supouts and posted tests to the forum until we were blue in the face. Then they said we didn't have the settings correct but refused to give us the settings that works. So, we tested with every
