[WISPA] Lucaya X-4000 radios

2008-01-04 Thread Matt Larsen - Lists
Hi all, I did some performance testing yesterday with the new X-4000 radio units from Lucaya and wanted to share the results. These are the new four radio access point/client/backhaul units from Valemount Networks (the authors of StarOS). The latest versions of the firmware now support fu

Oooh well yeah ... since it uses 2 radio cards ... you are looking to 40 mhz total for regular operation and 80 mhz total for turbo mode ... Also I assume you need to use very separate channels in order to avoid self interference in the dual pol antenna and between the radios inside the enclosure

How does StarOS handle frequency usage for FDX? Does it require another channel (and thus another 20 MHz) for FDX operation? - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: "Matt Larsen - Lists" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTE

If that's the case, then it's no better (perhaps worse) than MT's N-Streme 2 running on either the new RouterBoards or PCs. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: "Gino Villarini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General Lis

Seeing as how these auctions are the "Holy Grail" of spectrum - I am sure that they are not only going to enforce the anti-collusion rules to the tee, but they are probably hunting for those who may be treading lightly on the border of the anti-collusion rules. Best practice would to be avoiding

The benefit I see of the star-os duplex link using two cards is you can use the busier direction on a full 20MHz wide channel and use the other direction on a 5 or 10MHz width channel. You can also have one direction on 5 gig and the other on 2 gig, or even 900. point is on a PtP link, if yo

Matt, you forgot to mention one other feature on the X-4000 : "FCC Certified" I'm a relative newbie at WISP equipment, but I'm just blown away by the price/performance of the Lucaya gear. I was just looking at the store and the M1208 client units are on special for $99 (each, in a 10 pac

I believe you can do different bands on Mikrotik as well. I'm fairly certain you can't do the different channel sizes, though. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: "George Rogato" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General
