If there is a powered light poll nearby it might still be a site you could consider for your AP. You’ve said that ownership would sometimes be an issue but they would give a high vantage point that could be beneficial to the bridge link but would also serve a wider area. I would also be

I’m assuming the bus stops have power for lighting? If so, have you considered using it as the power source? Even if you don’t own then, renting power from this is probably less money than the solar install and the long-term maint. For solar, my guess is you want solar charging with a battery

The backhaul would be 5Ghz Mesh with 1 Hop to the root AP. For this proof of concept 2.4Ghz is good for users but I would be looking to us 5GHz for both in the future with a Cisco AP that do FRA. -Jimmy On Tue, Jul 25, 2017 at 3:58 PM, Paul Reimer wrote: > We aren’t running

We aren’t running anything on solar. I have a question though. What’s your backhaul? Are you thinking of bridging to the bus stops? -Paul From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of James Helzerman Sent: Tuesday, July

Has anyone used or currently have any access points powered by solar panels? I am looking at doing a few proof of concepts at some bus stops to try and provide connectivity for those waiting for the bus. I am interested with the following particular questions but please add any comments or

Hi Jason, No comments, but Nyansa and Cape (another hardware-based wifi monitoring company, but perhaps US-only since they use T-Mobile uplinks?) are at Mobility Field Day 2 this week. You’ve reminded me to take another look at 7Signal though; per Caston’s post, we already have a solution that

The problem with this statement: EAP-PEAP/EAP-TTLS, if properly onboarded, are very secure. But the problem is ‘properly onboarded’. … is that even having PEAP or EAP-TTLS enabled on the network exposes you to risk regardless of the supplicant configuration as anyone can attempt to

Hi Jason, Full disclosure: My company was one of the first resellers of 7Signal. We are also an early reseller of Nyansa. I have taken every precaution to make this informative with an iota of "vendor speak". (If I've failed in any way, my apologies in advance and I will ban myself from ever

Don’t have experience with Nyansa, have experience with 7signal. IMO nothing beats 7signal in the radio / spectrum part of their *Wi-Fi* performance monitoring. It appears to me that this is the key difference. Regards, Kees On 25 Jul 2017, at 09:02, Jason Cook

Hi All, There's been plenty of positives mentioned about Nyansa in recent discussions. I'm wondering if anyone out there has experience at both 7signal and Nyansa or any other systems that do wireless monitoring/alerting in a more detailed way than vendor provided gear. The approach for these
