Re: [WISPA] The Cord Cutting Sales Pitch

[Wallace Walcher]

I think the best current "cut the cord" solution is a combination of
Playstation Vue (Cable channels) and Tablo (Local channels).  Playstation
Vue has cloud-based DVR capabilities and Tablo does full DVR on OTA
channels.  Both work with Roku and Amazon FireTV.  Sling just announced
their DVR solution, so they might be a Playstation alternative also.  As
was mentioned above, you could make some money implementing this solution,
but there would not be any recurring revenue unless you could sell support
for it.

Re: [WISPA] anybody using the new CPE? (new toy from mikrotik)

[Wallace Walcher]

As of yesterday, none of my vendors had it in stock.

 Hi

 anybody using this new thing:

 RouterBOARD SXT 5HnD

 MikroTik RouterBoard SXT 5HnD is a low cost, high speed 5GHz wireless
 device. Dual chain 802.11n and Nv2 TDMA technology help to achieve even
 200Mbit real throughput speed. Complete with a ready to mount enclosure
 and built-in antenna, this is the perfect CPE.

 Thank you

Re: [WISPA] Wimax gear

[Wallace Walcher]

Having built my WISP from scratch with my own resources and currently being
debt free in my operations, I often wonder who the people are who so quickly
classify Mikrotik and Ubiquity gear as trash.  I am making a very good
living deploying such trash.

My perception is they are either people who are not spending their own money
- they are working for the investor, or possibly borrowing or leasing the
equipment, or they are a vendor promoting their own high margin goods.
Those that are WISPs seem to have the perception that it is better to
install higher cost equipment, no matter what the cost, if it will provide
them an expected reduction in support costs.

What I have found in my area is that people who deploy such equipment have a
very hard go of it, mainly because the replacement costs during the storm
season eat their lunch.  My operational plan is different than some - I
focus on residential customers on the outskirts of town that do not have
access to Cable and DSL.  Those focusing on business accounts in cities
would understandably have a different perspective.  But I feel very
fortunate to have a sub $200 total CPE cost (sometimes sub $100) with the
Mikrotik-type solution.

[WISPA] Trango Question

I just received an email from a vendor that sells competing products to
Trango.  The email said: I don't know if you are aware of this but Trango
just recently let their complete engineering staff go so you may want to
consider another product.

Can anyone confirm/refute this?  I have been seriously looking at their
licensed links.

Thanks.
