Charles, The request for a declaratory ruling applies to all frequency bands. The bands of immediate interest are 3.7 to 4.2GHz and 5.9 to 6.4GHz (an easy freq change for WiMax, 3.5GHz to 4GHz band and 5.8GHz to 6GHz band)where the subordinated link antenna sizes drop from 8ft and 6ft to as low as

We have found many (most all?) <10kW "job site" type generators do not work well if at all with APC UPS. In the event of a power failure we simply rent a 25kW towable diesel generator. Granted 25kW is way overkill for most any HUB site, but apparently the larger generators provide "cleaner" power

Brad, You can adjust the sensitivity of the APC UPS's to handle just about any type of incoming power. We have run a tower off a cheap Home Depot 2000watt by adjusting the APC so it would not keep switching off an on. Travis Microserv Brad Belton wrote: We have found many (most all?) <10k

Travis, How do you go about tweaking a UPS? We use APC 750's at most small tower sites. During the event of a power outage we use 1000watt generators but as you said...the UPS just shuts off and on, repeatedly. -Eric Travis Johnson wrote: Brad, You can adjust the sensitivity of the APC UPS'

George/Mike: I worked for 6 years in deep UPS and power quality at PG&E in Silicon Valley including IEEE1159 and CBEMA curve. Our field work demonstrated that if an automatic transfer does not take place at one quarter of a cycle in a 60 cycle per second AC power supply, then the sensitive logic

Re: [WISPA] Low cost generator

It should work, But In our particular case the question was "what is the automatic transfer time between the UPS inline with the backup generator?" what is the switch over time??? And at what voltage threshold does it switch. IEEE 1159 and the CBEMA curve typically recommend to start looking at 65
