Re: [WISPA] Waverider Vs Alvarion VL 900
They have upgraded one of my older units as well. I have two more of the older units left, thankfully they are in the air and in low noise areas, I hope to have them upgraded soon just because. -Cameron > You shouldn't have to worry too much about the old product because I > think they did a 100% field upgrade at no cost to owners of those AUs, > right?

Re: [WISPA] Waverider Vs Alvarion VL 900
You shouldn't have to worry too much about the old product because I think they did a 100% field upgrade at no cost to owners of those AUs, right? You should still check, but I would hope it'd be unusual to find an upgraded unit for sale.

Re: [WISPA] Waverider Vs Alvarion VL 900
I'd really like to hear some success stories from people using Name brand 900Mhz OFDM, compared to non-OFDM.. Or more importantly, if anyone has had bad experience with Name brand 900Mhz OFDM, compared to non-OFDM.. I'd also like input from Name Brand OFDM 900Mhz manufacturers regarding what embedded filering they might have in their radios, to combat noise which is just about everywhere with 900Mhz. Let me explain I recognize in a noise free environment, it likely works well, but I'm also concerned with the amount of after-rain fade 900Mhz has, and what that does to OFDM and higher QAM modulations that require higher SNR budgets. Over the last 5 years, I of course have evaluated ALL non-OFDM 900Mhz products. I've done most of my OFDM testing with ALL the OEM (Atheros mPCI) brand 900Mhz products. But I avoided spending the big bucks on Name brand OFDM gear, just to do Demos. But in my Live Testing, I'm regularly running into quality issues with the Oem OFDM products, and the stories all end the same. Eventually the final solution is I put a Trango DSSS 900Mhz sector in its place, and then I finally get consistent quality and gain a happy customer. Since the beginning of time, Trango had always been a strong 900Mhz product to "get the job done" because its ability to work in high noise enviroments, due to its high quality built-in filtering, which is near equivelent to a Cavity Filter. In my experience, I've successfully run quality Trango links at receive strengths lower than the scanned noise floor, where as with Atheros running at the noise floor is a formula for prompt dis-association and sporatic high latency, even w/ the spec sheet showing embedded filtering. At first, I questioned the OEM OS that included the Atheros, but I've seen similar results with all OEM OSes. Please recognize these comments are not mean to bash any product or promote any specific product. We successfully use Atheros OEM systems in many locations also. So what I'm trying to establish is... Has my experience been fairly compairing DSSS to OFDM, or Should the real comparison be about the difference between high quality gear versus low budget lower quality gear? Is there an equivellent to a Trango 900Mhz (quality against noise), in OFDM? Has anyone taken a challenging 900Mhz DSSS deployment (Canopy/Trango/First-gen Waverider) and successfully upgraded it to OFDM 900Mhz with out loosing significant amount of customers and/or coverage? And if so, Have you successfully been about to get three Horizonal sectors colocated? With Trango, we were able to get three horizontal sectors colocated, wth minimal self-interference as long as we used Titlek high quality antennas, and had about 10 feet min verticle seperation between them. I see that it would be a tougher challenge to accomplish the same with OFDM that required higher SNR. Sure the 900Mhz OFDM looks good on a spec sheet or likely good for PTP links, but now that its 6 months to a year down the road, whats the real world take for PtMP cell sites?

Re: [WISPA] Waverider Vs Alvarion VL 900
Hi Jon, We've had extensive experience with the VL900 product line, even through its rough release to market. After Alvarion fixed their hardware and software bugs I could recommend this product hands down based on our experience. Beware of used equipment that may not operate *at all* in minimal noise. There was a revision to the hardware on the AUs to remedy this.

Re: [WISPA] waverider vs alvarion vl 900
I had around 12 waverider lms8000 radios installed. They were a nightmare. We had problems from day one and pulled all of them. Unless they have made some changes I would stay away from them. Also the dongle on the 8000's were a big problem. Sent from my iPhone - End of message - Sent from my iPhone WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Waverider Vs Alvarion VL 900
I have no experience with the Waverider equipment, but Alvarion's pretty darn good (and we do have experience with that).

[WISPA] Waverider Vs Alvarion VL 900
Hi, We're planning to upgrade a lot of our 900MHz equipment which is currently predominantly Alvarion Breeze Access 900. The main goal is to provide the customer with better speeds The 2 options I'm considering are Alvarion VL900 and Waverider CCU8000 I was wondering if anyone has experience with using both of these radios, and if so, all considered which one do you think is generally better?
