[WISPA] Why not offer gigabit internet?
Lets say you have a 20GB+ Backbone, FTTx or a good working 60ghz radio solution that can get gigabit to the premises. Why would you not offer a gigabit package? I see several companies that have the capability of getting gigabit to the customers but not ever offering gigabit... I see 50,100,150, 200 but not more. What is the business reason for not offering a gig when you can on the infrastructure? -- David Jones NGL Connection 307-288-5491 ext 702 ___ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
Re: [WISPA] Billing Solution
We are struggling with Powercode's support for a procera BMU. It has basic support for the procera firmware that is from 2015 but the beta support for the 2017 stuff is way to buggy to use. No way to use content filtering... too limited support for it. I am glad to see they are branching out to use MT. Sonar has good support for both Procera and MT... Also Sonar does not require central control. Something to think about depending on how your network is.

[WISPA] Hmm.. Mikrotik or Cisco...
Good morning. I have a deep question for the Mikrotik people and the Cisco people. Let me give you an overview of where we are. Currently we have all of our tower sites using Mikrotik connecting to our core with MPLS/VPLS to our core that is multiple Mikrotik routers using VRRP (I had a core die from power supply failure and our network didn't skip a beet while it was replaced.) The VRRP core then connects to our edge that is a Cisco ASR1001-x that connects to our BGP peers. The reason we went with Cisco was because all the CCR Mikrotik Lagged horribly when doing BGP full tables. We had a Maxxwave router that did fine with the BGP but had crap interface support with Mikrotik not having good drivers for the interfaces. Different MTU for the MPLS caused problems. It appears that now with Mikrotik's CHR fixes the driver problems. the Virtual host deals with the drivers so Mikrotik doesn't have to. All has been fine for a few years... but now the Cisco has reset itself twice in the past week. For whatever reason a reboot on a Cisco = 15-20min down time. We are now needing a VRRP solution for the Edge. So here is the cross roads... Do we get another ASR1001-x and struggle for a while to get a form of VRRP to work between them? Or do we get something like this (https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-SuperServer-5018D-FN8T-Rackmount-10GbE/dp/B01LXUATHB <https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-SuperServer-5018D-FN8T-Rackmount-10GbE/dp/B01LXUATHB> ) and keep it all Mikrotik for ease of training and use? We do not have much experience with Cisco. It takes us quite a bit to configure and change them. is it worth learning and paying the 12x the price for less throughput? Cisco ASR 1001 2.5gbps throughput = $6,680 Cisco Licence for 10gbps throughput = $13,099 Total for 1 Cisco router + Repair of current + 1 Spare = $41,558 vs Mikrotik Supermicro SuperServer 5018D-FN8T + 16G mem + SSD = $986 CHR 10Gbps upload per interface = $95 Total for 2 routers + 1 spare = $3,243 Is Cisco still the better option? would it be better to say use 3 MK routers in VRRP with one spare so 2 can fail and not be a problem? -- David Jones NGL Connection 307-288-5491 ext 702 ___ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless

Re: [WISPA] Maxxwave x86 router ethernet port problem
We had the exact same problem. MT really doesn't keep up on the x86 stuff. What we did to patch it was set both sides to 1g full and turn off auto negotiate. Seemed to get us by.

Re: [WISPA] Looking for opinions on a proposal for PTMP in 6Ghz Part 101 spectrum
Wouldn't it be best to have it ruled as some form of intelligent design and not a free for all part 15? We are all for more spectrum to *USE *However, most of us have seen useful spectrum become completely useless by a mass of wifi that was not designed to scale well or play nice with others. wouldn't it be in everyone best interest to have some system of coordination so the use of the spectrum can scale?

[WISPA] What would you use a drone for?
Good day, I am trying to list out all the uses for a drone to justify buying one. Here are a few that I have come up with: 1. New tower site surveys. we are running into areas that our standard 45' tower will not cut it. (I know its short but hey we have elevation changes from 7200' to 8600' in less than 3 miles.) a drone could be used to determine how high a tower needs to be to get the best coverage. 2. Tower maintenance. We have a water tower that we are on that is no longer in use nor maintained. The top ladder is about to fall off and we need to get it repaired. A drone can take the needed pictures from the top to help us determine what parts/bolts/welder we need to fix it. That would save a trip with an 80' bucket truck so we only will need it once. What else can anyone think of for use of a drone? What would justify the cost to make it clearly a tool and not a toy? -- David Jones NGL Connection 307-288-5491 ext 702 ___ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
