[WISPA] 5GHz signal generator? maybe a poor mans SG?

2008-11-05 Thread Jon Langeler
We're in need of a 5-6GHz signal generator to simultaneously span a 
large portion of the 5GHz band to roughly tune some RF filters. Right 
now we're using some 802.11a cards we're having to link them up and do 
bandwidth tests to get them to 'fill up' on a RhodeSwartz SA (I suppose 
it's an expected result). Also we don't have the signal generator option 
for the SA either :-(

1. Anyone know a good way (maybe using linux, windows, or Mikrotik 
software) to get the cards to transmit fairly constant without having to 
have them connect to an SM/AP?

2. Otherwise a time/cost effective option to use another method, any 
recommendations to buy/rent a real signal generator?

Thanks!

Re: [WISPA] The nanostation thing....

2008-07-21 Thread Jon Langeler
I can't say whether I'm interested in your ideas yet or not. But unless you 
wanted to develop syncronization or some specific function of a centralized 
server for the base stations I don't see the point of adding  the additional 
complexity. Canopy for example has synconization without the need for 
additional 'controllers'. 

Mikrotik's RB433AH have a *LOT* of extra cpu(from our expereinces) and they're 
only $150ea! Have you thought of using 802.11n/MIMO on the downstream with dual 
polarized setup? It's too bad we didn't have an FDD spectrum allocated to WISPs 
where there were channels dedicated to upstream and downstream. Almost 
exlusively we use FDD for PTPs as opposed to HDX for a handfull of reasons. 
Similar benefits exist in PTMP situations...

 But the control point would be at the tower, not remote.  I know some WISPs 
 operate in remote areas, but this is more for a high density urban 
 deployment, similar to what you would use AirSpan or Alvarion for.

 The reasoning behind the FDD style deployment would be to help compete 
 against 10Mbps+ cable connections.  Right now a 6 AP deployment usually has 
 about 10Mbps for each AP (Canopy, Trango).  My thought is to transmit-sync a 
 50Mbps (40mhz turbo-mode) signal, with the vision that you could give fiber 
 speeds wirelessly.  Or, with 50Mbps of bandwidth (per sector) it would give 
 you the ability to serve thousands of subscribers in a high density 
 deployment.  The other though would be to be able to multicast MPEG4 video 
 over it.

 My vision is to keep us being able to compete with cable  DSL for years to 
 come without spending a fortune.  If an open source system could interface 
 with 6 NS5's ($600) plus a rackmount PC ($1000), that's a Wimax-style QOS 
 deployment for less than the price of a single Canopy unit.  The other 
 thought is that single NS5's are 802.11 and have no ability to transmit sync 
 (i.e. share frequencies) like other systems do.  By giving it the ability to 
 do that, you have an inexpensive hardware platform with $1 per AP 
 features.

 My thoughts on this I've even mentied on the Mikrotik forum a while ago 
 were
 to have a 2 part system:

 An outdoor wireless unit (like a Nanostation) that does nothing but act 
 as a

 tower
 control room that is the intelligence, like Wimax-style QoS, polling, 
 VOIP
 control etc.
   
 Isn't that how the Cisco solution works with a Wireless Lan Controller?
 This works great in campus
 environments which usually have a 100mbps or gigabit wired backbone, but
 not necessarily in
 WISP type deployments.

 In the case of a WISP you may have an exclusive wireless network
 (wireless link between CPE and aggregation point with WiMAX or other RF
 back haul ).
 or a hybrid model (wireless link between CPE and aggregation point with
 DSL/T1 back haul).  Having the additional network infrastructure
 overhead on networks carrying customer traffic may or may not saturate
 your pipe.

 If you have the money to build separate control and data paths great!

 
  The outside part could be connected via network switch to
 allow a failover master control unit.

   
 Certainly. You want a reliable core.
 
 I would think the inside part would be a rack mountable Intel/AMD server 
 or
 even an inexpensive workstation (since even a $250 computer has 20x the 
 CPU
 power of a Nanostation).
   
 Certainly.  Perhaps something like a mini ITX server.

 
   It would also allow the ability to sync AP
 broadcast, and maybe even include GPS sync capability.  That would allow 
 the
 outdoor unit to be minimal in flash and CPU speed but still allow high 
 speed
 communications.  Taken further into a 6x60 deg NS2/NS5 AP tower, combine
 that with mesh for tower to tower communications and have a Skypilot 
 system
 on steroids (tower to tower routing with no hop loss).

   
 Interesting. Didn't quite follow all that, but I will research it.


 
 I had taken the idea to a second level having a FDD-style system with a
 separate transmit unit and recieve unit outdoors where the CPE would 
 simply
 switch frequencies or polarities to recieve their packets, and switch 
 again
 to transmit.
   
 Seems like a massive amount of overhead. What would the reasons and
 advantages/disadvantages for such an approach be?

 
 That could allow for a 40mhz-turbo mode broadcast (GPS synced) with 5mhz
 channel upstream.  My thoughts were having the capability of sending out
 50Mbps+ downstream to clients (assuming a dumb wireless driver would be
 very light on CPU usage compared to, say, a Mikrotik unit that does

[WISPA] AC relay to reboot DC (PoE devices) suggestion?

2008-05-27 Thread Jon Langeler
I'm looking for an AC relay to reboot our PoE radios and I'll explain as 
best I know. Basically we have 24/48V DC along with AC at our sites but 
our remote reboot controllers only have AC outlets on them. What I'm 
looking for is the ability to reboot our DC devices also with a sort of 
relay plugged individually into each rebootable AC port that would 
reboot each DC line individually. Any suggestions?

At the IP layer, it is true FDX.  However, NStreme (and NStreme dual) 
is based on 802.11 protocol.  There is some protocol information that

I have a client with a 900 MHz network that has been deployed more than
5 years. Apparently without doing a wireless site survey, the City has
deployed two 900 MHz automatic meter reading systems. One uses Itron
hardware and one use Utillicom hardware. There is now a head-to-head
battle as the City networks are creating intense interference problems
for the WISP network. I know all about interference-reduction
techniques
as I've been utilizing and teaching these techniques for years but what
I don't know about are the possibilities of leasing licensed spectrum
(2.3 or 2.5) in order to estimate the cost of moving from the 900 MHz
band to a licensed range. I'd appreciate it if anyone could offer any
advice or insight into possibly leasing 2.3 or 2.5 GHz frequency space.
Is this possible or is it out of the question?

Thanks in advance,

Marlon, if that's the type of product your looking for, I'll save you 
the hassle of looking (and you can come back to this post in 5-10 years 
to make your conclusions on my recommendation) because your best best is 
to go with canopy or wait until a 5GHz 802.16e solution comes out(not 
likely soon). If Alvarion would get an actual ENGINEER to debate about 
their RF technology compared to others on-list, that would be the day :-)

Got it.  Thanks.

I guess my beef comes from being a wifi based wisp.  I find it too 
difficult to reject interference with a csma based product.  Anything 
with a wait for clear air, then transmit MAC is GREAT for 
collocation.  But sucks when there are products around that don't 
follow that mechanism.  That's (my personal belief) why Canopy went 
with it's GPS sync.  It doesn't care who's already out there, when 
it's time to transmit it does.  Trango does that to, just without 
sync'ing the AP's.


My REAL world experience so far is that csmak (or csma/ca, or whatever 
collision avoidance scheme you want to use) is GREAT where there 
aren't many other systems within ear shot of the radios.  However, 
when there are other devices in the area, especially those that don't 
have a collision avoidance mechanism, the csma radio will pay a heavy 
price in performance.


Having used both csma and polling products, I'm not putting in any 
wifi type products at 5 gig.  All of our next gen products will be 
polling as long as we can keep things that way.


These days, I'm learning to sacrifice raw performance for reliability 
and uptime.  There's a balance, sure, but getting that last 10 to 20% 
out of a product is less important to me than having a product that 
can survive some of the games that my less scrupulous competitors play.


However, with EITHER technology choice, it's critical to design a 
network that can, and does, physically (antenna choice and ap 
locations) isolates your system as well as you possibly can.  That 
seems to be the type of trick that just can't be taught.  Your network 
designer either gets it or he doesn't.  Heck, I've even done 
consulting gigs where I looked a guy right in the eye and gave them 
several choices for site locations.  Only to have them pick something 
completely different, and sometimes unworkable.


80 to 90%  of people's problems with wireless are self inflicted.  
Either outright or in a lack of forethought manner.


Here's an idea for you Patrick.  Make this product work both ways.  
Give it the option to be either csma or some fancy new version of 
token ring.  Then we could optimize performance for any environment 
that we find ourselves in.


Oh yeah, I remember the big hubbub about GPS in the BreezeACCESS II 
line. Why was it important for collocation then but not now?


Hope you guys all had a great Christmas!

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion Comnet Radios have arrived

2006-12-26 Thread Jon Langeler
Let's use 900MHz as an example. We deployed Alvarion 900 on multiple 
sites for over a year and it was a less than enjoyable experience. We 
started by transitioning one site from Alvarion 900 to Canopy 900 and 
things started working much better.
I may use licensed operations as an example only because I've had the 
experience of being on both sides of the fence. Also we buy GPS sync 
units as low as $300 new from a 3rd party vendor, as do many canopy 
operators.
As for the excess bandwidth availability in the UL bands, that's 
definately not the case here...

Jon,

When discussing GPS, you continue to offer examples from the licensed
world, which is about as relevant as trying to do an apples to apples
comparisons of mobile licensed cellular service plans with UL fixed
wireless. As I have said before (last week), licensed uses GPS due to
the necessity of having to re-use a small amount of channel over and
over again, cell after cell. That's not the case in the UL world, except
perhaps for Canopy whose bandwidth availability is so low relative to
the channel. 


Jon, you, me, the fence post and everyone else knows why Canopy -- alone
in the entire UL 5GHz world -- requires GPS to scale, it's to keep from
stepping all over itself. It is not even a debatable point. The
recommendation is right there in Canopy white papers -- let me
paraphrase: Deploying Canopy? What to scale? Buy this $1,500 cluster
management module for each cell! (P.S. Don't forget the $125 power
supply.)

Seriously, saying Canopy's GPS (something you have to pay extra for
even) is a value-added feature is like saying my car is special because
it has tires. I have to hand it to Motorola though, they have convinced
you that the one thing no other brand needs in UL, is something you have
the privilege of paying extra for just to get your brand to work well in
even modest scale in the first place.

I didn't make any 'claims' and as for 1,000 cpe, that's possible with 
wifi(although I'd hate to be one of the end-users). Some of the 
differences is how happy the customers are(reliability seems to play key


here), whether they're business or res., how easy it is to have lower 
cost employees deploy the network(as opposed to me and other qualified


or certified engineers that charge $10K's more/yr), and how tasked the

support and management department is, etc. Things that factor into 
operating a real world wisp. My kind of business is one I can leave for 
a vacation or another venture while having confidence the thing is going


to continue growing while I'm gone.
As for GPS sync. Maybe the cellular guys were wrong the whole time, must

be another Moto consipiracy and maybe mention that to everyone that 
developed 802.16d/e(WIMAX) including your own Alvarion engineers! ;) No 
GPS is not required, but it sure makes a lot of sense and is arguably 
'proper' for a multi cell deployment. I predict this is one of those 
things that the novice wisp will someday either understand, moved on 
beyond wireless last mile, or stuck it out and trained their support 
dept. on how to 'put out fires' for as long as possible. Of course all 
of this is my opinion but I have to go now...hopfully was enough for

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion Comnet Radios have arrived

2006-12-22 Thread Jon Langeler
With VL, you still run into the issue of self interference in a cellular 
deployment(many tower sites in a region). The only products I'm aware of 
that cooperate properly in a cellular deployment are minimally GPS 
capable, and the advanced products that support things like hand-off or 
N:1 deployment go beyond that with 2-way base station to base station 
communication. Technologies such as wimax, 3G, fiber networks, etc. all 
use GPS to to improve efficiency and operation. IMO VL may still be a 
good product to deploy, but just not in a cellular or colocated 
deployment.

Tom DeReggi wrote:


Charles,

Although your comment is true, and you left out on the fly flexibilty, 
what people want is not always the best value, at the end of the day 
with all things considered.
The value of consistent availability and right out of the box 
deployment is PRICELIST!  This doesn't only save cost of installer 
labor, but also management labor in purchasing and aquisition.


I'll share something from my experience that I find is Ironic as heck. 
I always looked at Alvarion as the high end market gear, but its being 
a stronger residential play.   I recently have done a lot with 
War/StarV3 for high end business, mostly Point to Point links, because 
I can get good speed, flexibilty to reach the neighboring building, 
and great testing tools with things like Iperf  BUILT-IN able to test 
Ethernet connections as well as RF conclusively link by link, as hops 
increase as the backbone mesh grows.  Alvarion is also a great product 
for high end business, which I'm also using in some cases, but I have 
a higher cost to accomplish that, since StarOS has dual radio slots.  
Where Alvarion has now shown undisputable advantage based on its new 
low price, is in its residential application. The difference between 
$185 and $285, is almost nothing compared to my time savings in 
operations.  The ease of opening the box and installing a VL is 
unmatched.  What VL does for me, is that it gives me confidence in 
using subcontractors to isntall. Because I know they'll take the time 
to make sure they get the best signal.  With my other gear, its such a 
pain to get best signal, I was afraid to use contractors and only do 
installs with employees by the hour, so their income did not deter 
them from doing their best job. I gladly pay $100 more for a complete 
ready to go product. The only thing that keeps me from going 100% 
Alvarion for residential is that, I already have 100 APs installed of 
another manufacturer, and I need to focus on revenue not re-build 
out.  Its not just the cost to replace the AP, its the cost to replace 
the consumers without downtime, all at once, when there is little free 
spectrum left to just install a new AP.  To install a new AP, and 
existing AP must be removed first, in many cases.  From a 
performance/reliabilty point of view, there is nothing wrong with the 
gear I previously preferred to use, but from an operations and 
installation point of view, my operations can scale much easier using 
the VL.  Low marging residential is where that matters most.  Its 
important to be able to have consistent install time and meet 
schedules.  The other day I ran out of pigtail. The other day I ran 
out of thin thread stand offs. The other day I ran out of J-Arms. The 
other day I ran out of antennas that came with mounts that support 
2-3/8 pole.  Everyday there is a barrier that delays operations. Sure 
an easy barrier to fix, but still a delay. Instead of focussing on 
sales, I'm focusing on making sure I have enough Gold standoffs in 
stock (5 cent parts).  There is something to be said for what Alvarion 
has offered through the Commnet program, probably one of the strongest 
value propositions offered to date.  Its going to really make the 
competition work.  Just my 2 cents.


The competitions, just better hope that Alvarion doesn't offer an AP 
trade-up program, to help conversion.

Why is that the case? You really think GPS on Canopy is some cool

It is all to prevent self-inflicted interference (remember, Canopy does
not even have ATPC) and to allow for channel re-use. Other systems, like
VL, do not need it. It provides far more capacity than Canopy, so it
does not need to re-use channels and with basic channel planning you
don't have issues with self-interference.

stamp of approval) that gets scared off, when they learn about the 
failure. Deals with partners that took months to build get thrown 
away over night, with a couple reboots from buggy ARQ firmware.


What you can't forget is that in PtMP, you can't encrease the 
antenna side of the AP. Not everything can be solved with the big 
antenna on SU side. Without ARQ one is toast.


Trango gave me so much hope when they developed ARQ for the 5800 
Foxes, which works fantastically. I'd select the Fox over a 5830-ext 
any day because of ARQ. But thats not good enough, I need ARQ and 
EXT connectors. Last year,  I made Trango aware that we needed ARQ 
on 5830-EXT and Link-10s more than anything, and a year later, we 
still don't have it, and its not on their priority list.  That is 
frustrating for my business. Customers don't wait in Urban Tier1 
markets.  When the Link doesn't go up in a few days, or their were a 
couple of noise issues that scare them, they have already placed 
their order with someone else.


What it has forced me to do, is slowly start swapping out my Trango 
APs, to make room (spectrum and antenna lease fees) for radios that 
can deliver packetlossless links.  Even Wifi gear can offer 
packetlossless links.  And its forced me to go back and re-negotiate 
my contracts with property owners to try and not pay per antenna, so 
I can get more antennas of larger size (PtP) for less money on the 
roofs.  Its a BIG waste of time, that I wouldn't have to do, if 
Trango added ARQ reliable ARQ to 5830-ext.


I'm still a Big Trango fan, and still am basing my business around 
its product, because of its value proposition, but I am loosing 
sales and getting more black eyes than I have to, because Trango 
does not have a EXT antenna product line that delivers reliable 
ARQ.  I haven't bought a new Trango 5830 AP in ages, I have to many 
pulls on the shelf waiting, when I need one.  If Trango never 
released ARQ for the FOX, I would have never kown what I was 
missing. But now that I have experienced it, I can't live without it.


The two biggest reasons, for lack of progress in my company is, 1) 
Waiting for technology, and 2) Waiting for finance to come through.

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion VL Fixes Problems with Backhaul Links

2006-09-22 Thread Jon Langeler
Tom, I have nothing to gain or lose by telling you what we've not only 
extensivley tested but also experienced over 6 years. We started using 
canopy since it began shipping and at least 100 trango SU between 3 
different towers since beta. I just hate to see fellow wisp protest that 
there isn't a good product and struggle when their actually is a pretty 
darn good one...and on top of that has an upgrade path in it's vision, 
it keeps getting better.


ARQ does not affect C/I like FEC does for example. When you say ARQ is 
fixing any resiliance problems that may be true. But you'll also suffer 
from increased latency and less throughput during those retransmissions. 
Not good if you want to support VOIP and keep customers happy. Having a 
low C/I means the system will be stable more often and maintain a lower 
retrans. Trango's ARQ is not even an option in the 5800 model which is 
what you and I probably have a decent percentage of in our Trango 
networks. Having a low C/I requirement affects other things like 
increases the range of a product. I'm laying out facts, you can convince 
yourself of whatever you want...

Tom DeReggi wrote:

Nice try, but I've found that comment to be not at all true. I have 
often chosen to avoid canopy user's channels, but because I am a good 
WISP neighbor, not because I had to.  Why fight if you can cooperate.  
On a SPEC sheet Canopy does boast the lowest C/I.  But Trango's 
specified C/I was reported before considering ARQ. And Trango has 
always underspec'd their spec sheets.  C/I is not nearly as relevant 
as SNR resilience anyway. With Arq, we've easilly ran links as low as 
4 db above the average noise floor, reliably.  There is VERY little 
difference between the Trango and Canopy C/I in real world usage.  The 
Trango just adds more polarities as more options to work around it, 
when needed.  One of the reasons we like Trango is its resilience to 
noise, that gives us the abilty to fight it out and stand our ground.  
The Foxes w/ DISH, have excellent ARQ and resilience to Noise, within 
their range and LOS.


When we start to have trouble with Trango, is when we start to push 
the limits of the technology.  Its a LOS technology that we attempt 
NLOS with. My arguement is also not that we can't be the last man 
standing. Its that when the battle happens the customer sees it, and 
the customer does not tolerate it.  IF a Canopy and Trango went to 
war, one might survive a little better than the other, but ultimately 
both customers would feel the interference the majority of the time.

Since canopy is the most robust(3db C/I, ARQ, etc.) PTMP product in it's

likely find themselves conforming to the canopy operators' spectrum usage.
As for coordination among the canopy operators, that's an easy problem to

Re: [WISPA] tv white spaces update and a question for you guys

2006-09-13 Thread Jon Langeler
Marlon, I'm rather surprised that you would even mention 2.4GHz(wifi I 
assume) as a possible technology to use in these bands. Now that they 
have cellular technologies specifically designed for BWA purposes 
(Canopy and WIMAX are good examples) and given the possibility of a 
fresh start to using this spectrum, using an unarguably inferior 
technology for BWA like wifi just doesn't make sense. You end up with 
the craziness we have right now in the current bands. If testing data 
for equipment operation in that band is needed, you could probably 
obtain this information from a few companies off the top of my head like 
Qualcomm(Flash-OFDM), IPwireless(TD-CDMA) and Airspan(WIMAX and 
proprietary), that currently have experience w/ 700MHz.
IMO if they ever release a 'WISP band'(which I would be surprised), 
they need to have a GPS synchronized transmission cycle as a 
requirement... Here's an idea, make WIMAX as the accepted technology for 
that spectrum. Then all you need is the WISP(s) in the area to 
coordinate transmission cycles to minimize interference potential. That 
leads to a whole other subject, if a 'wisp-band' were opened up, the 
WISP industry could potentially be a whole new ball-game...think 
companies(AOL, Speakeasy, Covad, etc) spending 10s of millions to go 
regional/nation-wide that you would otherwise potentially not have to 
compete against. Now THAT would be interesting :-)

For example, IPSEC.  Microtik allowed us to get over the 1512 limit, as long

Can someone recommend a fairly simple spectrum analyzer  that will 
   


do  2.4
 

and 5.8. I need something that is portable and not to complicated 
   


to  use.

My apologies. I just looked at the rental cost which was more than we 
pay for the RS units...

Same cost?  You did notice that the Avcom unit is $3k?

Those still look pretty old-school. Have you used the handhelds from 
RS, the FSH 3GHz and 6GHz series or the handheld Anritsu(s). Same 
cost or less to rent/buy and no upconverters required...

Sorry about that.  I got the brand wrong.  It's Avcom.

You probably want the one with ethernet.  Then you can set one up 
and remotely access it via laptop.  (Useful for things like Scriv 
is fighting with right now)


You'll need the frequency converters for your 5.8 gig band checks.

These are really really cool units.  Wish I had one of them instead 
of my Advantest big kid one.

[WISPA] Mikrotik Radius/PPPoE Radius

2006-04-28 Thread Jon Langeler
We're setting up MT PPPoE w/ Radius and while we're at it maybe hotspot 
auth. Recommended packaged solutions? Anyone tried Radius Manager 2.0.2 
before? Anyone want to provide some consulting on this that's done it 
before? :-)
