Chuck,
I have heard that BPON is on its way out. You are using GPON? How long
have you had it in place? Is this done with passive optical splits 1
by 32? Is it Wave Division Splits? If so how many splits per node?
Still 20km distance by design? I thought there were problems with GPON
not working in
We use GPON. BPON died (as a spec) very soon after it was implemented. As
did APON and EPON.
It is not wave division, it is very similar to CATV in that you can split it
down the equivalent of 16 dB and you have a brick wall distance limitation
of 12 miles on any leg. It does use two differen

Thanks for the link; here are some quick thoughts...
1. Buying (or leasing) licensed spectrum sounds good... if the spectrum
and equipment costs are affordable.
2. Wouldn't it be nice to have "quick and easy", affordable access to

Hello All,
Hope it is OK to post this here...
I wanted to thank all in the WISP community for the opportunity that I have
had to work with you while at Pacific Wireless. After 8+ years I have
accepted a position at another company.
Very interesting topic -
In the UK similar bands (28, 32, 40) just got allocated on a
regional/national basis, and some of the prices paid were very modest.
Google OFCOM and have a look if interested.
One of the national spectrum winners informally offered us access to their
spectrum on a "per link

Yes, we are expecting a 40MHz channel to do the bandwidth we are
looking for. Our current solution is configurable for 20MHz or 40MHz
channel. The reason we are looking is that the 40MHz channel isn't
working right and they keep pushing back the fix date. We're just
about done waiting on
Why not use an actual APC UPS and extra batteries? That way you can
monitor the power, have an estimate of run-time when the power goes out,
and get email alerts.

If you need the 60+ Mbps and going 25 miles on the same link, I don't know
of anyone that meets all the requirements. If the above two requirements
are separate, I believe StarOS meets them all, although their 5.4Ghz DFS is
still a little flaky, in my opinion. You can do 900Mhz with the Ubiquiti
This was my first thought how do you add the extra batteries though, I read
that it is not good to daisy chain the ups units together.
And the cost of batteries that support external batteries aren't cheap.

Hi,
We do the same, but we use AGM batteries. We found the Walmart (or any
deep cycle battery) requires too much maintenance. The water levels
usually needed re-filled every 3-4 months.
We found 110aH (real aH, not the over-rated numbers on the deep cycle
batteries) AGM on ebay for $100 each.
Oh, OK. For backhaul we use orthogon in unlicensed and Trango and
Dragonwave (and Harris) for licensed and achieve these speeds and ranges.

This is what I do, but I will add that we get the APC SmartUPS models that
can take an SNMP card. The SU700 or SU1000. We put an AP9617 in it (has
more features than the AP9605). This emails you to notify you of a power
event. Then you have your *howevermany* hours to deal with the outage.
We use decent marine deep cycle batteries with an Iota charger. A large
part of battery life is the quality of the charger.
Just using DC for all the power needs, so don't need the extra load of
inverting/transforming to get back to dc. The way to go if you are able to.
