Re: [WISPA] Sectoring a tower
Wait till you get a couple people doing netflix or hulu, 3 sectors instead of 2 isn't a huge investment, and you'll have a lot more choices for antenna vendors.

Re: [WISPA] Sectoring a tower
Hey Mark. My experience on the Pac 120* H-Pol sectors is that you will come very close to 360* with just two of them. I would stay away from 180's. I think it was the good man Marlin that sent me some info about those a few years back when I considered this and I decided on the 120's. Worked great at very close to 360. You may get some odd lobes and dead space but planned accordingly you can probably cover what you need with just two of them. -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Mark McElvy Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 3:55 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Sectoring a tower I have one of my towers that has grown to 32 subs, This is a MT ap and I hear that is the magic limit.

Re: [WISPA] Sectoring a tower
There is no magic number. I have had MT based APs that with the customer usage and the RB that it was really busy at 20 users. I have and know others that can provide the throughput to well over 50 customers. It depends on a lot more than the count. That said, going to sectors can do much for you. And Steve Barnes is right in his post, 10Mhz channels and using both Vertical and Horizontal polarities makes life better.

Re: [WISPA] Sectoring a tower
As an RF Engineer and an antenna designer, I can say that you don't want 180's. Go with the 120's or even some 90's. You'll get pretty good coverage all the way around even with a couple of 90's back to back. If you are really worried about the small nulls on the sides, make sure your main beam is pointed to the highest traffic areas. Cameron Jason Hensley wrote: Hey Mark.

Re: [WISPA] Sectoring a tower
Yeah, and the new Deliberant radios will do 1/2 and 1/4 channels. I have had good luck with a mix of them. The new ones with the Atheros chip set seem to be more sensitive too. mike At 05:05 PM 10/27/2009, you wrote: There is no magic number. I have had MT based APs that with the customer usage and the RB that it was really busy at 20 users. I have and know others that can provide the throughput to well over 50 customers. It depends on a lot more than the count. That said, going to sectors can do much for you. And Steve Barnes is right in his post, 10Mhz channels and using both Vertical and Horizontal polarities makes life better.

Re: [WISPA] Sectoring a tower
I'd recommend against 180* antennas. They are really just lopsided omni's. Go with three 120* antennas. Mix vpol and hpol. You'll be glad you went this route over the long haul. marlon - Original Message - From: Mark McElvy mmce...@accubak.com To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 1:54 PM Subject: [WISPA] Sectoring a tower I have one of my towers that has grown to 32 subs, This is a MT ap and I hear that is the magic limit.
