[WISPA] Specifications for Internet services on public frequency
Hello all, Some people of the list, like Robert West, Glenn Kelley and of course Matt Jenkins, strongly recommended me this list for my “case”. We are located in Haiti. My team is working on technical and technological specifications of a document for the deployment of Internet service on public frequencies in rural areas. We welcome your thoughts on the topic in terms of previous experiences and, well sure, you recommendation in terms of equipment. You should note that the environment in question is very mountainous with very precarious infrastructure conditions: no electricity, poor access, etc. We would like to deploy a service at minimal cost, using mainly open source software. All comments, suggestions, recommendations, draft, success stories are well come. Feel free to contact me for additional information. Warms regards, Georges-Keny PAUL WISPA Wants You!

Do you have to contend with Foliage? If so do you have any pictures of what it looks like and how dense it is? This will have a major impact on what frequencies will be viable for use in your area.

Basicaly, We will deal with hard environment, but not really foliage. One of the advantage with our country, it's you can easily have a coverage from one point. The link will coverage long distance. Maybe with multiple hop from one point to an other. Just to have an idea just take a look on Google Earth. Search From Port-au-Prince to Hinche; from Hinche to Cap-Haitien and From Cap-Haitien to Fort-Liberté and Ouanaminthe. you'll have an idea.

Re: [WISPA] Specifications for Internet services on public frequency
I'm in South America but way way out in the jungle. It's the wild wild west out here so compliance is easy. Regulations? We don't need no stinking regulations! This place is quieter than an anechoic chamber. But I know a guy who's running a wisp in town. His problem is it's the wild wild west there too. 2.4GHz is a mess. He just went to 5.8GHz for back hauls which is still reasonably pristine but I'm sure that will change. I think all the things that apply in your neck of the woods will apply in Haiti - use sectors on the APs to help deal with interference, use the narrowest possible beam width on back hauls and 5.8GHz is probably the smart way to go, use as little power as possible, starting with Airmax now will probably prevent future problems with interference. Though in Haiti I imagine equipment theft at remote sites could be a problem. Never been to Haiti but I used to sail to the relatively richer half of the island (Dominican Republic) and it was the wild wild west there too. One time the captain wanted to test the calibration of the RDF so we tuned in the radio beacon. The Dominican Republic's callsign block is HI. The beacon transmits it's callsign in morse code. The beacon's callsign was HIV. Greg On Sep 21, 2010, at 8:59 PM, Robert West wrote: Who on the list are in South America? May be similar. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Specifications for Internet services on public frequency
we sent a number of UBNT radios down and both 2.4 and 5.8 were a mess... Airmax helped - but your right - stuff was just left running - who knows where. Our team did a bunch for the United Methodist Church - and have some backhauls hopping all the way to the DR vs purchasing local. 5.1 seemed to be very open however Hit me off list - and I will see what I can do to get some folks hooked up w/ you depending on location On Sep 21, 2010, at 10:10 PM, Greg Ihnen wrote: I'm in South America but way way out in the jungle.
