Re: [WISPA] GPS Sync / or Sync between devices at site without GPS Question

I do not know how the Radwin Sync works. With Canopy, you do not lose
bandwidth unless you do not have the timing the same. You can adjust
settings in such a way as to not step on yourself and still have different
bandwidth profiles with Canopy.

I do not see why sync would lose any bandwidth, unless it is cause now you
only have X Transit tie and Y receive tie instead of X+%Y.

Re: [WISPA] GPS Sync / or Sync between devices at site without GPS Question

2011-01-10 Thread Jerry Richardson
Yes, with wifi based radio systems you can see less throughput with sync than 
without.

With Canopy the DL% is fixed regardless if the AP is getting the sync pulse 
from GPS or generating it itself. i.e. if you set the DL% to 75% it's fixed 
regardless if the bandwidth is being used or not.

With .11 radios the DL% is dynamic and will adjust according to demand (which 
is why they are NOT in sync with other .11 radios). When you sync them, the DL 
is no longer dynamic. So if you had a .11-based BH that has 90% downlink 
traffic and force it to sync the DL% may only be 50% which would look like half.

Does that help?

Re: [WISPA] GPS Sync / or Sync between devices at site without GPS Question

2011-01-10 Thread Jerry Richardson
Right, allows sync between GROUPS. GROUPS can be as large as you want as long 
as the MASTER can be reached via Layer2 in less than 30ms. If you have two 
GROUPS (for example two tower sites) that can hear each other but can't be 
reached via Layer2 or latency goes above 30ms between them, then the MASTERS at 
both towers will need to have fixed DL%

UBNT's GPS implementation is a little different than we are used to, but I like 
that they did away with the CMM concept. I am not sure I like the ide of 
depending on one radio for MASTER sync information. I would like to see some 
code that allows for failover. Something like:
- APRadio1 is MASTER/MASTER
- APRadio2 is SLAVE/MASTER

The rest of the SLAVES in the group look at APRadio11 for sync info and if it's 
not there look at APRadioMAC2

first thing I noticed was that the available bandwidth was cut in 
half.  Is this typical of all synced units?  I guess there would be no 
more reduction in speed after the first two radios synced because if 
there were more they would all fire at the same time any way.  Did I 
loose bandwidth because they were in MIMO mode rather than Diversity 
mode or is the slowdown just a function of the timing reduction to 
keep things clean?


Is the UBNT GPS sync gear going to provide less throughput than I 
currently experience when their new sync capable gear comes out?


Thanks, just trying to get some feedback to learn more about how 
Syncing devices affects their performance.

I do not know how the Radwin Sync works. With Canopy, you do not lose bandwidth 
unless you do not have the timing the same. You can adjust settings in such a 
way as to not step on yourself and still have different bandwidth profiles with 
Canopy. 

I do not see why sync would lose any bandwidth, unless it is cause now you only 
have X Transit tie and Y receive tie instead of X+%Y.

Its safe to assume that the newer firmware with sync with UBNT will only 
work with the newer gen hardware with the gps support right.  Is there any 
functionality that works like the radwin radios where the two local units 
speak sync between them without GPS?

Even having the ability to sync two radios back to back to reuse spectrum 
would be really nice.

[WISPA] GPS Sync / or Sync between devices at site without GPS Question

2011-01-09 Thread Scott Carullo
For the first time I synchronized multiple devices (two backhauls) at a 
tower site to see what it was all about.  All of our gear in the past did 
not have the capability to sync across devices to save spectrum and/or 
reduce interference between local devices.

In this case I used two Radwin 2000C backhauls with a sync cable between 
them.  Setting up the sync between them was easy however the first thing I 
noticed was that the available bandwidth was cut in half.  Is this typical 
of all synced units?  I guess there would be no more reduction in speed 
after the first two radios synced because if there were more they would all 
fire at the same time any way.  Did I loose bandwidth because they were in 
MIMO mode rather than Diversity mode or is the slowdown just a function of 
the timing reduction to keep things clean?

Is the UBNT GPS sync gear going to provide less throughput than I currently 
experience when their new sync capable gear comes out?

Thanks, just trying to get some feedback to learn more about how Syncing 
devices affects their performance.

The alvarion gear I used with their gps card did not affect bandwidth.

Well on the same frequency I could see.
