Right-a
real salesman.  I have helped several members with my contacts without
receiving a cent.

 

It is
okay when you all wanted  last year and not only did I give twice, I
emailed about 100 friends and some of them did too.  So I was down in the
area and thought that if any of the WISPA members were around, it would be nice
to meet them.  

 

I will
remember that for next time.

 

Walter

Hi Shannon,

We charge $35 an hour to the customer for any extra work over the two
hour time frame that it generally takes to get the installation done.
My subcontractors are locked in at that rate for extra work, so it seems
to work pretty well.

A rural

meter reading system operates on 916.5 at @ ½ db.  They are having
problems reading meters near one of our cells that sits 2 Mhz off them. 
That was the only slot available on that tower, so we cant really move without
major disruption.  Their system only works on 916.5  Has anyone had
to work through this?  If you have can you hit me offlist?  Im

RE: [WISPA] 5 GHz attenuation

2007-06-22 Thread CHUCK PROFITO
No one talks of the type of trees. We've noticed getting through a line of
poplars, adjust antenna size, not much of a problem.  But one pine tree, or
a well placed ash, near impossible.  Maybe the pine needles attenuate more
because they are thin and in all directions thus absorbing all reflections
??  Anybody else see this.

Could you provide some sort of numbers?  How much loss does that 1/4 mile of

water-retaining trees have?

The town is basically a square with the tower on the far west side in about 
the center.  It is 1/2 mile to the extreme corners, so there are a lot of 
people 1/4 mile and less.

Someone on another list mentioned water retention as a show-stopper, but my 
limited experience had me thinking just about anything less than a 1/2 mile 
would work.

  Hopefully you haven't forgotten me since a lot of water has passed

  Well, you may have thought that we went away but it was only a 
temporary delay.  First of all I want to apologize to you for the early 
notification that turned out to be a false summit.  We had felt that launch 
was eminent when we sent out the cards late last year. The setback was only 
temporary though and we are finally emerging from the quiet time and able to

share what is going on with everyone.

  I have included the last 7 months of short notes from ItsYourNet CEO 
Ken Stewart to catch you up on where are are and what can be expected in the

next few months.  I don't have any information other than what comes out in 
these news briefs so just stay tuned for further developments.

  January 4:  From ItsYourNet CEO Ken Stewart...

  The questions are still coming in about the Wireless Internet project 
and Stock in the Corporation since I released the last newsletter announcing

the orders we are under with the "Quiet Time" on Thursday, December 22, 
2006.

  So...
  Let me say this again...
  "We are under strict orders to not say anything further about the 
Wireless project until authorized to do so."

  And as a result, these questions need to stop coming in to our support

channels - Thank you!

  Furthermore, with a $13-Billion investor, no Seed or Preferred Stock 
needs to be offered and no other investment capital needs to be sought, so 
sale of Stock is not required to raise the money needed to launch the 
project.

  What you do and will receive as an Affiliate with ItsYourNet is 
notification of the Stock being made available to the public before you can 
learn about it going live anywhere else.

  We will let you know when the Stock is live for public purchase even 
before your Broker calls you to recommend buying it, but that is all we can 
do; ItsYourNet does not own the Wireless Company, and even I personally have

no way to obtain Stock before it is available publicly.


  April 26:  from ItsYourNet CEO, Ken Stewart...

  The Wireless Corporation CEO, Mr. Gary Brown, met with us here at 
ItsYourNet's office last Tuesday and shared some wonderful new developments 
that we've been authorized to pass on to you.

  The latest on the CPU / chip development is that there are now just 
two (2) chip manufacturers remaining in the bidding process for the mass 
production of the chip required to run the Wireless systems.

  Although we're not yet authorized to disclose the name of these two 
manufacturers, we expect by the next Newsletter release on May 10, 2007 that

Excellent numbers, congratulations, you guys deserve it because you listen,
and work hard on what you hear!
I read a news story about a 5.8 deployment in Australia, is this a precursor
to UL here?

Subject: [WISPA] Thanks Everyone - OT



Just a note of appreciation to all our customers for enabling us to report
an excellent Q2 quarterly report today, which beat the "street" estimates.
Highlights include:

- Record revenues of $57.5 million, up 31% from Q2 2006;
- Record BreezeMAX(TM) revenues of $27.9 million;
- Gross margin of 51%;
- Non-GAAP EPS of $0.03; GAAP EPS of $0.00;
- Commercial WiMAX deployments of 170, up from 150 in Q1
- About 40 802.16e mobile WiMAX trials (about 2x claimed by any
competitor)
- Major new ecosystem partners such as Bridgewater and Arraycom (for
beamforming)
- Positive operating cash flow of $2.6 million, growing cash to about $122M
- Revising Y over Y growth to 25-30%

http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070801/20070731006573.html?.v=1

And more central to the WISP front, one of the other up surprises is that
our non-WiMAX business continued to grow, thanks mostly in part to our North
American BreezeACCESS VL and BreezeNET B100 customers. I want WISPs to know
that even with the heavy investments on the WiMAX side, we continue to
invest in our UL solutions and we consider our work on the unlicensed front
as a major part of our business.

In the near term this means you already place orders for 5.4 GHz
BreezeACCESS VL, as well as 5.3 GHz and of course 5.8 GHz. We hope to bring
you other bands for unlicensed in the not-to-distant future as well.

Thanks again to all,

Regards,

Patrick

Subject: [WISPA] Managing your network on the go-go-go!


I'm looking for a way to keep an eye on my network, and to fix some 
basic stuff, while hiking, or on vacation, or what-have-you. Ideally, 
something I could take to a baseball game with me, even.

A laptop computer is far too big for what I've got in mind, as it's 
likely to double as a pass-around "pager" for whoever's on call this 
week. Thus, I'm probably limited to a Blackberry or maybe a Windows 
Mobile device like the Motorola Q, running on a cell phone network.

Most of our towers are running Valemount's StarOS software, so we need 
something that has an SSH client, and that SSH client needs to support 
key chording (Control-whatever, basically). Most devices like this, a 
Web browser is a given, which should handle the rest of our needs 
(looking in on the network monitoring system, and a couple Ligowave 
towers). The ability to receive (and, maybe, send) emails is important, 
but that's pretty much guaranteed these days too. (Worst case, I whip up 
some email-to-SMS voodoo.)

VNC support would be swell but probably not strictly needed. (Besides, 
it'd take forever to scroll around a 1208x1024 desktop on one of those...)

I can't be the first one here who's looked at getting a Blackberry (or 
something similar) to handle basic network stuff remotely. What works? 
What doesn't? Will I even be sorta-happy with, say, a Blackberry 8700?

We operate access points off of three water tanks that are owned by a local

broadband connection to replace the 900mhz radio links they use from each 
tower to their main office.Has anyone done this before or is it possible?We 
have limited knowledge of scada equipment but this would be a win win

Ray, 

JohnnyO is correct but ommitting specific details...

First -- We do provide the conduit for our water district to monitor and
control their locations via our Internet service. If you want more details,
contact me off list and I'll fill you in on what I know, and if needed, put
you in contact with the consultant that arranged this solution with us.

Second -- JohnnyO, the medical issue you refer to has been confirmed to have
originted with your wife. If she hasn't, make sure she goes to the doctor
soon as I hate others to meet my similar fate. BTW, you may wanna see a
doctor too! :)

of the data aquisition for the water district whose tanks they operate off

We operate access points off of three water tanks that are owned by a local 
utility district.They have aproached us asking if it is possible to use a 
broadband connection to replace the 900mhz radio links they use from each 
tower to their main office.Has anyone done this before or is it possible?We 
have limited knowledge of scada equipment but this would be a win win 
situation for both of us since it would eliminate their radio links and we 
would gain a customer. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

County seeking wireless Internet service, generators

By JIM SECKLER/The Daily News

Saturday, September 15, 2007 9:30 PM PDT

KINGMAN - Mohave County is looking to connect anyone with a computer in the
county with wireless Internet.

The county supervisors recently directed county staff to seek information
for a provider to supply countrywide wireless communication and Internet to
county television districts.

The county has requested information to see if any private company could
provide the county with wireless Internet access to urban or rural areas of
the county that are underserved. The firm would provide wireless service at
no cost to the taxpayer or no use of grant funding, county Procurement
Manager Travis Lingenfelter said.

Areas within close range of the county library branches currently have
wireless Internet coverage. The goal is to provide coverage anywhere in the
county. Other counties have researched countywide wireless Internet service,
he added.

The system would provide wireless Internet access for business, education
and improve public service. An Internet system could also help enhance
distance-learning skills, increase the knowledge of the Internet and the
computer for better paying jobs.

The county could possibly offer public buildings, towers, traffic signals or
other structures in exchange for complete coverage of the county. Interested
firms have until Oct. 11 to submit information to the county's procurement
department.

The county is also looking for a firm to provide five backup power
generators for the county's emergency alert system. Funding for the
generators comes from a grant from the Arizona Office of Homeland Security.

The 20-kilowatt generators would provide backup power to allow the county to
operate during a power outage. The generators would be located at remote
mountain top communication sites throughout the county and could be subject
to extreme weather conditions.

I have had the same results with the Wilson Electronics auto repeater with

I have a repeater in my car for my Nextel phone, and while it doesn't 
make the signal perfect, it does change  a 2 bar area into a 4 or 5 bar 
area, and the deadspots are much smaller. It cost about $179.00.

What precautions does OSHA expect for these type situation, that unarguabley

have safety issues.
Do they want the climbers to wear some sort of protective clothing, more 
than what they normally wear?

PS. Microwave Radio's power levels do not harm Humans, but wonder if the

A Interesting site.  The Flash graphic could be used on local WISP home
pages for community support, city pages, etc. especially on a city wide mesh
info page.  Rotary, Lions , and all the others. Would give visitors a since
of what the local community supports and what is important to them.
Church's, schools, boy scouts, you could go nuts finding marketing
applications with this.  $0.00 for non profits. 
I'm interested in your thoughts , possible applications, its value to you.

Not sure how much I need really. It's the downtime.
This one pop has a trango, a wrap a metro and a cheap switch. Usually 
when it looses power it could be 24 hours or more.

With your set up, how much do you pay including the 2 rv batteries and 
how long have you had for a power outage?

I just ordered one of the cheapo generics for my house to check out. But 
  generic usually leaves that feeling of uncertainty that makes me uneasy.

RE: [WISPA] WR 900 question

2007-11-16 Thread CHUCK PROFITO
Almost ALL metal absorbs water! As soon as you put a torch on it or weld on
it, you see it dry if front of your eyes.
Cast steel and cast aluminum hold way more than rolled, and hardened even
less... The denser the material, the less it absorbs. So don't take this
wrong, but if its 'soft' it sucks.

Ehh I do not know about through it self. I do know that small spaces can
will "suck" air (and water vapor with it) in as they do the heat/cool cycles
due to pressure changes. This can be seen by leaving a kids sealed plastic
toy out side for a few weeks. If you wish to test it you first have to
submerge the toy for 24~48 hours in water to make sure its water tight, use
cold water and pre-chill the toy in the fridge.

I am curious about how well the cavity filter worked after a CLR treatment.
CLR and most other such cleaners for calcium, lime, or rust are based on
hydrochloric acid and do a fair job of eating metal. I found out the hard
way that it can and will eat a tub drain clean through if left over night.
Was the part washed and rinsed with distilled water after the cleaning?

2007-11-21 Thread CHUCK PROFITO
You are nuts or spoiled on 5 gig or have fiber stuffed up every tower.  1
P2P on a 2.4 rural ap opening 100+ connections will packet flood an ap in
about 1 minute.  2.4 will only realistically deliver 5 megs per radio. 1 P2P
uploading to 60 plus users will be slowed enough to bring the bits per
packet way down, then the packet flood ensues.  Now put six sectors on a
tower, with 300+ subs, 10 megs of back haul, then add 6 P2P and on top of
that add three or four bit torrent users with 50 or 60 connections each down
loading the best movie ever from Netflix, and now your backhaul starts the
flood too.. And you are 30 miles from the fiber head in.  Yeah, right...
Don't tell me not to shape the traffic.

Come on, you guys that sell "slow" broadband generaly don't have too 
much to worry about. It's not like if you got an ap that does 10 megs 
and you sell 50 512k subs that the one or three out of 20 running p2p is 
going to be very noticable.
Try giving those 50 equal access to the full 10 megs and see what 
happens then, if you don't throttle the p2p.

Thank you son from all of us at CV-ACCESS and all the Profito family. We
understand how proud you are of him, and at the same time how you would like
to chain him to the tower! :)  Supporting and backing them is NOT NUTS. Your
"perspective" is fine. 
Both of our boys and daughter-in-law served in Iraq and all, by the grace of
GOD, came home safely. One of our boys is out now on a medical, and the
other son and his wife are at Fort Sill waiting on a future deployment.  
Thanks Giving is a very special day here too.

Chuck I am connected to fiber. It's right next to my water tank with a 
lot of sectors on it to ditribute out to the vrious repeaters, I 
sectorized the hell out of my network with tight beam widths and reuse 
frequency without interfering with myself. A good portion of my network 
is 5gig and I have almost 1000 radios. I could double my customer base 
and not too heavily impact my network.

I believe in high capacity systems, so thats the way I build it.

I agree, you are fairly well protected, Travis, but for how long.  But more
and more we are seeing encrypted P2P and encrypted Bit Torrent... This will
soon be the norm across the world because so many like you and I and George,
Comcast, etc ARE limiting it.  We cannot keep trying to control the
application, we have to control the packet ONLY, no matter who,what or where
it goes to.  That is our business, Open access via Packets and excellent
customer Service... for a price that is.

Hi,

I think some people missed my point on this discussion... so I'm going to
re-cap:

We use MT to cap the p2p sharing (during business hours only, because that
is my peak usage time). Some people say MT is only catching about 70% of the
p2p traffic. My point was that by using MT (that I already had in place and
is FREE), if I am able to cap 70% of the p2p, that should take care of 99%
of the problems... because any network should be able to handle what little
p2p is left. I am also capping each sub at the CPE, so overall I am fairly
well protected from a single (or small group) of p2p users affecting
anything seriously.

You are nuts or spoiled on 5 gig or have fiber stuffed up every tower.  1

P2P on a 2.4 rural ap opening 100+ connections will packet flood an ap in

about 1 minute.  2.4 will only realistically deliver 5 megs per radio. 1 P2P

uploading to 60 plus users will be slowed enough to bring the bits per

packet way down, then the packet flood ensues.  Now put six sectors on a

tower, with 300+ subs, 10 megs of back haul, then add 6 P2P and on top of

that add three or four bit torrent users with 50 or 60 connections each down

loading the best movie ever from Netflix, and now your backhaul starts the

flood too.. And you are 30 miles from the fiber head in.  Yeah, right...

Don't tell me not to shape the traffic.

Come on, you guys that sell "slow" broadband generaly don't have too 

much to worry about. It's not like if you got an ap that does 10 megs 

and you sell 50 512k subs that the one or three out of 20 running p2p is 

going to be very noticable.

Try giving those 50 equal access to the full 10 megs and see what 

happens then, if you don't throttle the p2p.

Travis Johnson wrote:

  

Hi,



First let me say that we cap p2p traffic during the business day, 

but

otherwise we let it run wide open. However, we sell our connections 

based on speed. Whatever they pay for is what they get... none of 

this burstable stuff, etc. If they want 512k, they pay for 512k. If 

they want 1meg, they pay for 1meg.



The problem with bandwidth caps of xx gigs per month is that NOBODY

else is doing it... not DSL, not Cable, not any of my wireless 

competitors, etc. Once you start putting that limitation on their 

connection, they will start switching to something that does not have 

caps. If you have bandwidth limits in place already, there is no need 

for the monthly limits. (This does not mean we allow 24x7 bandwidth 

usage, but we allow "reasonable" usage).

traffic and rate limit them.

And once we can do this, then it's time to pull out the menu of 

various offerings we can provide.

Want a 3 meg x 3 meg burstable connection with a sustained traffic 

rate of 1meg x 256k and bandwidth cap of x gigs, it's price "a", 

want a higher something in your package, it's price "b". Want 

something different, then it's price "c".



The sub can choose. Once they choose they know what they bought.

2007-11-26 Thread CHUCK PROFITO
Awhile back there was a thread about hardened laptops for service personnel.

 
Then I spotted this article http://tinyurl.com/239v4k or

/BNStory/Technology/home  about the Linux based lap top for kids with a

for $400.00 you get one and some poor kid some where else gets one too.

My question:  will a Linux based system run the apps we would need for
service personnel? Does this unit have enough power to do an install. @ $400
for 2, we, WISPA, could do a lot of good, if they would work for our service
personnel.

I'm finishing up on the link map/spreadsheet to send you.

How accurate does the GPS coords need to be, for Freq Coord study? I'm using
Google Earth. I can go as far as zooming in and marking the GPS 
coords for the exact antenna positions.
Or I can pick a center spot of the building.
Confusion based on having one site with multiple antennas.
My understanding was that the FCC wanted accuracy within 1 deg?

Forbes, 
I know this sounds stupid, but I have always found it to be true, in any
battery configuration, you are only as strong as your weakest cell.  It
determines the output/input load. Take a hydrometer, a shorted cell will
show discharge while charging.

A week ago we received a low battery page on a solar site.  We got there 
to find the Positive wire was oxidized and not making connection, 
stripped it back and it worked fine.  Then we had no sun for three days, 
worked perfectly.  When the sun came out it stopped working again, isn't 
that kind of backwards?  On my way out again to change batteries, we use 
a bank of two 6v industrial batteries.

Brad,

A tip on the Loggers 8 port...there is a rechargeable battery inside that
doesn't seem to last more than a year. Once it dies, you lose your config
and if the device ever looses power, everything comes back in either all off
state or all on state. I tossed one logger and then when it happened to a
second, I decided to tinker. I got a replacement battery at batteries plus
and it started working correctly again, saving my config after a power
outage. I'm not sure what can be done about it except to put them on a
maintenance schedule. Of course this was on the older devicesmaybe
they've gone to flash memory now?

We've had more failures than successes with the Digital Loggers eight port

market at less than $300, but I would expect a better failure rate than what
we've seen out of them the past several years.

 

I noticed on Digital Loggers site that they have a newer version available.
Maybe this version is more reliable?  I've also read that the DIN mount
style rebooter is more reliable than the 2U rack mount style.  Maybe Kevin
could somehow integrate the DIN unit into his PoE controller to save costs
and development.

 

While I think adding a couple AC ports to this device would be neat..let's
not divert from the intent of this product from being a PoE controller.

 

I wonder why UBNT doesn't design a PoE controller that would fit the need?
Seems like a natural fit product that they could also manage via their
AirControl System management software.

Kevin, 

On cost:  With your model, we're still going to need to buy a device like a
Digital Loggers remote AC reboot device because we will need to reboot a
router or switch.

If it can have a couple of AC ports to power a Mikrotik router (x86-based)
and a switch, we don't have to ALSO buy another remote boot device ($350
value).

Since we can get the remote booting with the digital logger box, then all
your box has done is clean up our PoE's, and I wouldn't pay nearly that
much.

So... we're most of the way through a mid-span design similar to what people
are outlining here. Right now it's only non-standard POE, though. No 802.3.
Again, we were only going to build three, for our own use. If we sold
something that was:

 

Remote on/off per port

Auto-ping reboot per port

Dual-power supply, with notification on fail

DC powered, either 12, 24, or 48v

The one we are working on is 24v output only

1u rackmount or small form factor wall mountable

SNMP for reboot, voltage monitoring, input monitoring

 

We figured if it's a DC device, we can plug it into 110v easily with a
transformer.

 

If it was $450, would anyone buy them? Actually, what I really need to know
is, would we be able to get rid of 90 of them? We'd have to make a batch of
100, and we could use 10.  We'd get them back from the PCB manufacturer
mid-May.

Turn your PC into a Wi-Fi hotspot
 


These days, nearly all of our gadgets connect to the Internet. And the vast
majority of them do it wirelessly.

As awesome as wireless communication is, it has its limits. For example, if
you aren't in a Wi-Fi hotspot, you can't connect.

Virtual Router can help. It turns your laptop into a roaming wireless
hotspot. All you need is some type of Internet connection. It can be through
a local area network, 3G or dial-up.

This gives you the opportunity to connect your Wi-Fi only gadgets. And you
can secure your hotspot with WPA2 encryption. That means you're still safe
even while you're broadcasting Wi-Fi.

I got several of each, but I ended up using channel 1 mostly.  When I
put that puppy in, I got like 40 dB less noise on the channels I
didn't want, and I also could not even hear other APs when I moved the
radio to channels 2-11 (there is that much isolation in the filter).

Now throughput is much smoother and higher.  Before I put these in,
bandwidth would be slow and come in spurts (as evidenced by various
throughput tools like iperf and online speed tests).

Depending on how it needs to be installed between buildings, there may not
be much cost difference between fiber and copper, especially if you need
multiple circuits.  Fiber is not really expensive and you can get a lot of
strands in a small cable.  Just be sure to run more strands than you "need."

speed? 10, 100, 1000, 10G.  There are lots of Ethernet extenders that can
give you speeds to 100 Mbps over coax, copper,. just Google it and you will
find plenty.  We have used these when fiber is not an option.  However, make
sure you take grounding between buildings into account as well with stuff
like coax/copper.  If you can afford it fiber is your best option.

I have a special job to do.

I need to connect 4 sites together in a line and provide Ethernet
connectivity between them.  I may NOT use wireless to do this.

I can run overhead cable of most any type I need to.  Coax, cat3 or cat5, or
even fiber if the price is right...

Site 1 to site 2 is 700 ft.  Site 2 to site 3 is 900 ft.  Site 3 to site 4
is 2400 ft. 

Looking for options...

Re: [WISPA] The Legislative Situation Is Dire

2011-07-21 Thread Chuck Profito
TOM DeREGGI, 

 I would like to make you a Serious Business Offer. OK?


Seriously. This is a real offer. In fact, you really can't turn me down, as
you'll come to understand in a moment.

Here's the deal. You're going to start a business or expand the one you've
got now. It doesn't really matter what you do or what you're going to do.
I'll partner with you no matter what business you're in - as long as it's
legal.

But I can't give you any capital - you have to come up with that on your
own. I won't give you any labor - that's definitely up to you. What I will
do, however, is demand you follow all sorts of rules about what products and
services you can offer, how much (and how often) you pay your employees, and
where and when you're allowed to operate your business. That's my role in
the affair - to tell you what to do.

Now in return for my rules, I'm going to take roughly half of whatever you
make in the business each year. Half seems fair, doesn't it? I think so. Of
course, that's half of your profits.

You're also going to have to pay me about 12% of whatever you decide to pay
your employees because you've got to cover my expenses for promulgating all
the rules about who you can employ, when, where, and how. Come on, you're my
partner. It's only "fair."

Now. after you've put your hard-earned savings at risk to start this
business, and after you've worked hard at it for a few decades (paying me my
50% or a bit more along the way each year), you might decide you'd like to
cash out - to finally live the good life.

Whether or not this is "fair" - some people never can afford to retire - is
a different argument. As your partner, I'm happy for you to sell whenever
you'd like. because our agreement says if you sell, you have to pay me an
additional 20% of whatever the capitalized value of the business is at that
time.

I know. I know. you put up all the original capital. You took all the risks.
You put in all the labor. That's all true. But I've done my part, too. I've
collected 50% of the profits each year. And I've always come up with more
rules for you to follow each year. Therefore, I deserve another, final 20%
slice of the business.

Oh. and one more thing.

Even after you've sold the business and paid all my fees. I'd recommend
buying lots of life insurance. You see, even after you've been retired for
years, when you die, you'll have to pay me 50% of whatever your estate is
worth.

After all, I've got lots of partners and not all of them are as successful
as you and your family. We don't think it's "fair" for your kids to have
such a big advantage. But if you buy enough life insurance, you can finance
this expense for your children.

All in all, if you're a very successful entrepreneur. if you're one of the
rare, lucky, and hard-working people who can create a new company, employ
lots of people, and satisfy the public. you'll end up paying me more than
75% of your income over your life. Thanks so much.

I'm sure you'll think my offer is reasonable and happily partner with me.
But it doesn't really matter how you feel about it because if you ever try
to stiff me - or cheat me on any of my fees or rules - I'll break down your
door in the middle of the night, threaten you and your family with heavy,
automatic weapons, and throw you in jail.

That's how civil society is supposed to work, right? This is Amerika, isn't
it?

That's the offer Amerika gives its entrepreneurs. And the idiots in
Washington wonder why there are no new jobs.

I would not deploy any UBNT Aps on a tower without the shield kits.

1) UBNT radios are in a plastic case, they bleed out RF like crazy.
So if you have a bunch of radios on a tower you will cut the noise
substantially.

2) Water,Ice, birds, etc..
With the shield kits the radios are enclosed in an aluminum box.
 They stay dry and keep ice, water, and animals from damaging the
jumpers.

3) We have had lots of lighting this summer and I think having them in an
all aluminum enclosure grounded has helped us from losing any yet.

Guessing, you are going to use 2  12v in series to get 24? right?

Then any good battery backup will work, except you loose 20% efficiency.

a $99 Tripp-Lite from Costco and two deep cycle marines will do. or 4 6v golf 
cart batteries (costo has these too) but you will need a $20.00 float charger 
with these. See Interstate Batteries.

Re: [WISPA] Adding External Batteries to a UPS

2011-10-07 Thread Chuck Profito
Try the SMART1000LCD, 1000VA / 500 watts, from Costco, $89.00. Pull the
battery, buy two more just like it from Interstate Battery, make 2 lines
apx. 20 inches each with 1 male and 3 female. plug in male to ups threaded
thru vents, put the three batteries on top the case and plug in. For ease of
handling duct tape the batteries together horizontally. They will always
come back when power is applied(default is ON), until circuit failure, about
4-5 years. Less if you have really bad power, like on a old dairy, maybe 3
years.

We used these a lot in commercial building closets, because of their compact

(Although never used the snmp card)

We've pulled almost all of them out to date. The reason we stopped using 
them is that like all other consumer UPSes, they tend to fail bad, when 
batteries die, and not restore power to the equipment until a site visit to 
remove UPS from service. (although we did like that it has a physical on/off

switch, not just button, to force UPS on state).

Whats also a pain is that the internal batteries are NOT easilly removable. 
You have to take it apart in half, and hope not to short anything in the 
process, and prey the leads stay on when put back togeather.  (unless 
they've changed the cases, for better access, since)

Thanks thats good to know. Since we don't run DHCP anywhere.
Based on that, probably only good as a home unit, thats behind a home

We have a couple of them in our office waiting to be deployed at tower
sites.  The web interface is crap, it won't allow you to put in a subnet 
and
default gateway.  You have to set it to get a DHCP address to get those 
key
routing numbers inserted.  I like the size and the price is right, I 
guess

for $80 you shouldn't expect many management features.

Hi all.

I'm looking for an IP based remote reboot or relay controller.

It must be small, controlled via http or telnet, and be able to turn a

Oh, before I forget, cheap, too!

Any ideas?

I need some feedback from the collective.  I am looking for a backhaul
radio link for my main tower. 5.8 Ghz is fully utilized at this
location. It is only a 1500 foot shot. I would like at least 50 meg full
or 100 meg half duplex. I would like this solution to be under $8K or
so. 5.3 Ghz is pretty open here. Does a solution exist? I can lay fiber
for about $12K or so. I am considering doing that but I think laying
fiber for my main connection when I am a fixed broadband wireless
provider sends the wrong message to my potential customers when Charter
is going all over town selling fiber connections. I welcome your feedback.

I know it's not FUNNY FRIDAY yet but as Flip used to say, "the devil made me
do it"

Ya know, the IRS (US Government) took over a whore house in Nevada. Now some
law says the IRS has to run a running business to try to repay the
government for back taxes or incase the owner wins it back on appeal.) Now
as a sales person, I think the two easiest things to sell LEGALLY would be
whiskey and well, "you know what".

THEY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS 

Only my opinion here; They should capitalize on what they are extremely good
at, THE DESTRUCTION BUSINESS! 
Come to think of it, this may be part of the internet take over/

[WISPA] new wi fi??? From BusinessWeek today

2009-10-15 Thread Chuck Profito
Internet October 14, 2009, 12:01AM EST 

Wi-Fi Is About to Get a Whole Lot Easier
A consortium that includes Intel, Cisco, and Apple is set to release new
technology called Wi-Fi Direct that will turn a slew of gadgets into
hotspots

By Olga Kharif

Going Wi-Fi is about to get a lot easier. For many consumers, setting up an
in-home Wi-Fi connection point is something of a hassle. Before you can
enjoy the convenience of logging onto the Web without cables and wires, you
need to hook up some gear and create your own "hotspot."

But that's set to change come mid-2010, when a tech upgrade will make it
easier for users of consumer electronics to exchange files between
electronic gadgets.

On Oct. 14, the Wi-Fi Alliance, a tech industry consortium, said its members
will release technology that effectively turns gadgets into mini access
points, able to create wireless connections with other Wi-Fi-enabled gadgets
or broadband modems within a radius of about 300 feet. The alliance includes
Intel (INTC), Cisco Systems (CSCO), Apple (AAPL), and more than 300 other
makers of the equipment that runs Wi-Fi networks, often used to provide
wireless Web connections in homes, cafés, hotels, and airports.
Sales Erosion Possible

The new technology, called Wi-Fi Direct, will be built directly into
consumer electronics and automatically scan the vicinity for existing
hotspots and the gamut of Wi-Fi equipped devices, including phones,
computers, TVs, and gaming consoles. Owners of most existing Wi-Fi-enabled
devices will be able to upgrade to Wi-Fi Direct with a simple software
download.

While the revamp may make life easier for consumers and business owners, it
may erode sales of other Wi-Fi compatible equipment. For starters, Wi-Fi
Direct may curb demand for routers and other products that make up the $1
billion annual market for Wi-Fi access points, now present in about 30% of
U.S. homes. "The IT department doesn't have to set up an access point," says
Victoria Fodale, a senior analyst at In-Stat. "Same thing in the home. You
can do the same thing with less equipment." Cisco and Netgear (NTGR) are
among the biggest sellers of Wi-Fi equipment.

The feature also could disrupt usage of wireless Bluetooth technology that,
for example, helps users of the Apple iPhone play games with each other
outside a wireless network. In the future, some consumers may use Wi-Fi
Direct instead. Though Wi-Fi connectivity tends to drain battery life faster
than Bluetooth, it's also faster and allows for transfer of richer
multimedia content like video.
Marketing Blitz on the Way

For Cisco, Wi-Fi Direct could make up for lost sales of Wi-Fi access points
through other Wi-Fi-enabled equipment including camcorders. The company
didn’t make a representative available for this story.

Members of the Wi-Fi Alliance plan to promote their new technology with a
major marketing blitz. Intel has already begun briefing retailers, who will
promote the feature in their stores, says Gary Martz, senior product manager
at Intel. The chipmaker will also heavily promote the capability in the
first quarter of 2010 as it unveils its next-generation Wi-Fi chip package
for computers.

Chipmaker Marvell (MRVL), meantime, is planning to collaborate with its
consumer-electronics partners to mark enabled devices with special stickers
and to promote the capability through ads. "We will make a big splash with
Wi-Fi Direct," says Bart Giordano, product marketing manager at Marvell.
A Boon for Smartphones

Almost half of the 760 North American consumers surveyed in May by In-Stat
said they use their Wi-Fi-enabled devices for more than connecting to the
Internet. "We feel that it opens up a whole new set of applications and use
cases," Giordano says. "Wi-Fi Direct will really drive the next generation
of growth in [the use of Wi-Fi] consumer devices."

The feature could boost usage of Wi-Fi capabilities in smartphones and
television sets in particular. "It makes adding Wi-Fi to devices that don't
have Wi-Fi more compelling," says Kelly Davis-Felner, marketing director at
Wi-Fi Alliance. Marvell is already talking to makers of TVs, few of whom
offer Wi-Fi connectivity today but are now considering adding the capability
to let users wirelessly transfer photos and video from their Wi-Fi-enabled
cameras, camcorders, and netbooks directly onto TV screens.

There's also growing interest from manufacturers of cheaper cell phones,
Giordano says. Today, Wi-Fi can be found mostly on high-end smartphone
models. "The new use cases are really going to allow the technology to
proliferate among devices it's not been considered for," Giordano says. "We
are expecting that this will drive a lot of growth for us." Worldwide,
shipments of Wi-Fi-enabled cell phones should rise from 64.9 million units
last year to 314 million units in 2013, according to consultant IDC. "This
technology is going to be ubiquitous in every notebook and netbook in 12 to
18 months; it's going to be a very fast ramp," Ma

I took the survey, however it did not allow me to add in other comments. So:

The biggest problem I have with most of these Trade shows is that its a 
bunch of sales/marketing guys who have no actual idea how the product 
works and cannot answer in depth technical questions. I can get all of 
the sales and marketing information that they present on the website or 
from talking to my usual vendors. What I want is a Product Engineering 
Show where engineers come and demonstrate their products and I can see 
actual comparisons of performance, ask detailed questions, etc.

For example: I want to have talks from engineers who can answer 
questions. I want to have talks by real operators on how they implement 
OSPF to redistribute BGP across their networks. I want to hear talks 
from people that combine Motorola Canopy, Ubiquiti, Ligowave, Mikrotik, 
and Netsys to create innovative solutions for providing data coverage. 
All should be able to show examples.

Just my 2 cents...

Re: [WISPA] Outdoor UPS

2009-10-29 Thread Chuck Profito
Is there an enclosure? 
Are there Costco's in your area?
Triplite 1000 VA / 500 watt $99.95
We put these on our repeaters with a additional battery in our enclosure. 
Default setting is 'ON'
We have deployed about 80-100 of these, only had one failure.
We are in central California, so mild winters, 100 -105 summers.
YMMV

Looking for recommendations on an Outdoor UPS, not concerned about a 
long run time, just to handle the occasional blips. Form factor and 
mounting considerations are one of the main concerns with this install. 
Will be fed by AC power, but it can distribute as a single AC or DC 
feed, something that can do 100-250 watts would probably be fine.

Re: [WISPA] Fault tolerant tower deployment

2009-10-29 Thread Chuck Profito
Or do it your way and add this to the mix, and to switch radios you don't
have to go to the tower.

http://www.dinrelay.com 

this unit saves the trip up the hill.  Small one $125 with auto reboot, 16
port $295

All of our towers have these and a few repeaters. Now with auto reboot on
most of the radio boards, 
it's mostly used to boot routers, switches, or hung boards.

Based at least partly on what I've learned on this list:

An enclosure can contain radios from 2 different bands with no issues.

A dual band sector has less wind loading than one of each.

Radios and enclosures have gotten cheaper.

It really wouldn't be any more complicated than having a spare radio 
"on the tower," if implemented properly. If an entire router or power 
supply failed there would be an entirely redundant unit ready to go 
into service.

So there would be no single unit.  If either radio, or either router 
died, the drone would take over.  Each antenna would have a redundant 
radio in a DIFFERENT enclosure.

No, I'm not a coder, I'm a farm boy.  Our definition of tower, 2 or more way

So, if you know it's down, log in and turn one off and one on.

Have you written any scripts to automate those din relays based on

[WISPA] Nintendo and Wii

2009-10-30 Thread Chuck Profito
>From CEA Smart Brief today:

Nintendo said to be integrating Netflix into Wii console
Nintendo is developing a way to integrate Netflix streaming into its Wii
gaming console, according to a published report. The system could be
available by the end of this year, or Nintendo may wait until early 2010,
when the company is expected to introduce its new Wii HD console.

Pandora.com is my favorite web site.

I can't exist as a purveyor of rural broadband under the present 
"rules" if HD video becomes common in my customer's home.  How would 
ANY wireless company, using available spectrum accommodate 20% or 
more of their customer base tying up air time to transport another 
company's content?  I guess a metered paradigm is in my future.  Is 
that the 'NEW" digital divide?  The whole thing gives me heartburn.

Does this work: 4:00 Friday afternoon Young girl takes out power line with
her car.  That Power line feeds your main Tower that feeds 4 other towers.
30 Min later when the batter backup goes down 50 clients call and want to
know what your going to do to get them back-up before the weekend.  Power
company can give you an estimate and its 20 miles to the tower and you let
all you employees go home early because its been a hard week.

Argh!!
