[WISPA] outdoor fiber

2008-12-06 Thread rharnish

Travis, 

I have always had good luck with fiber.com.  At one point, I thought they 
were going to join WISPA as a vendor member. 

Thanks,

Hi, 

Anyone have a source for outdoor, UV rated, pre-made fiber cables? I need a 
20 meter cable for an outdoor run. 

thanks,

I don't see obtaining a seat at the table which is defining future policy

I just looked in the mirror, my nose is still intact!  I didn't even OINK 
today. :)

Actually, tax incentives were a major discussion point for operators who 
make investment in broadband networks.  I'll take the rest of this paragraph 
to heart as I proceed wallowing in the trough.

Boosting the statistical average speed of broadband in the US will benefit 
the whole economy.  With the majority of the population living in 
metropolitan areas, I would see the bar being raised in these areas much 
sooner than it will affect rural areas.  That being said, I will be seeking 
funding for new research for faster wireless technologies to assist WISPs in 
achieving the highest speeds possible.  I believe there will be a multiplier 
affect of dollars invested in broadband infrastructure.  Enabling businesses 
and people to be more efficient will definitely boost the economy more than 
giving tax rebate checks back as part of an economic stimulus plan.  The 
group reached a solid consensus that investing in broadband infrastructure 
would be one of the wisest uses of tight capital as it would create revenue 
in multiples of the original investment in all industry sectors. 


Respectively,
Rick Harnish

 Jeff, 

 Just to let you know, I am in Washington DC this week participating in
 the
 events below.  WISPA has signed on as a supporter of the Call to Action
 to
 define the Nationwide Broadband Strategy.  It was great to see all the
 players of the Broadband Industry working together to attempt to bring
 the
 US back up to the top of the Broadband Access ladder.  It will be a busy
 three months while this strategy is defined and presented to the Obama
 Administration. 

 Respectfully, 

 Rick Harnish

Lonnie,

To clarify please, I assume your saying that you are awaiting your first
shipment of Tranzeo 900's for your own usebut others have already
deployed WAR Boards V3 or WRAPs with the Tranzeo 900 solution.  Is that
correct?

This is not true.  The Tranzeo 900mhz radios can use 20, 10 or 5mhz 
channels.  They only use it all up if that is how you configure it.

RE: [WISPA] FW: See what's new at DragonWave @ WCA 2006

2006-06-05 Thread rharnish
Thanks for all your efforts over the weekend George.  I'm not sure why the
boxing gloves always need to come out on the weekend.  Let's put this behind
us NOW everyone.  We all have more important things to be doing than to
bicker on this mailing list.  People tend to make poor judgements in the
heat of the moment, I have seen several posts and replies from this weekend
that enforce this assumption.  Although we do not allowing spamming of the
list, there is not much we can do about list harvesting and spamming outside
the list.  Bringing these actions and rebuttals to the list is in effect,
secondary spamming of the list.  Just take it up with the vendor directly or
refuse to purchase from them if it offends you that much.  It should be
everyone's right to make those decisions for themselves.
