Re: [WISPA] What the heck chews up 100mhz of 5.8ghz?!?
Some unscrupulous operators also may use them "Tsunamis" to kill/squat on the spectrum to prevent new commers. This is a large part of the advantage of using sectorized, is you find out where the noise sources are and engineer around them. If you are in their direct path and close, it may mean changing cell site locations or frequency range. The good news is its probably a very directional antenna, and feasible that you could not interfere with them by moving your cell site location. There are several other brands other than Tsunmai that also allow use of all the channels. Its usually the outcome of older legacy gear that attempted 45mbps or higher links.

Re: [WISPA] What the heck chews up 100mhz of 5.8ghz?!?
Also remember, its not only about doing the spectrum analsys upfront, but also an issue of choosing a broadcast site, where the management is savy enough to manage the spectrum use correctly at the site. Whether or not you interfere with colocated equipment should have been caught before any gear was ever even turned on, or a dollar spent in onsite time. Thats the advantage of paying for the use of spectrum from a site. Many people will install unlicensed gear, without contractually having the right to deploy it in the first place. Many Licensed carrier don;t understand its the appropirate practice to. So often, if you've paid for it, and they haven;t, you can make them take it down.

Re: [WISPA] What the heck chews up 100mhz of 5.8ghz?!?
Charles, I'm suprised! In general I would advocate cooperation and it sounds like perhaps there would be some options here if this does turn out to be a cell carrier or such. We would certainly like to continue earning our reputation as good guys - even with competitors who otherwise would not do likewise - I simply didn't expect this situation here. On a commercial tower we'd be screwed I know. But I think this goes both ways - since I'm going canopy here and going to do 5.8, it's going to hurt them and unintentionally so unless we figure something out. I do have sectorization as an option, as well as 5.2 and 2.4 and 900 if I really want. And cross polarization probbly won't be enough due to the high rssi already.

Re: [WISPA] What the heck chews up 100mhz of 5.8ghz?!?
One of the other things to do if they are using wmux is to make sure that they aren't running over powered. Or that they can't turn the power down. I had a company run 6' dishes on a link of 13 miles. Knocked me offline almost 40 miles away! They had a 60, yes six zero, dB fade margin. They were very nice about it and turned the power way down and we both worked just fine after that. laters, marlon - Original Message - From: "Jack Unger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 7:17 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] What the heck chews up 100mhz of 5.8ghz?!? Asking the link owner to consider changing their antenna polarization is a good idea although their antenna and labor costs to do that could be kinda high depending on who they do (or don't) have on staff to do their tower and antenna work and what antennas they are currently using. With a signal that loud, even cross-polarizing to drop it down by 15 or 20 dBm would only lower it to -71 dBm or -76 dBm at best. It still could be loud enough to significantly reduce the receiving radius of Mike's possible new access point. Often, when first installed, these links are set to run at full power when they may not actually need to run that hot. Sometimes the link owner will be willing to turn the power down a bit if asked. This would help Mike to increase his access point receiving distance. Depending on the direction that the signal is coming from, Mike can sectorize, effectively "turning his back" on the noise. Then if he chooses an antenna with the opposite polarization, he may be able to get his small-area deployment to work OK. jack NOTE to Mike: That will be 50 cents, please. Marlon K.

Re: [WISPA] What the heck chews up 100mhz of 5.8ghz?!?
Mike, One thing that is different with the Western Multiplex vs. Redline or others is the WM is a "constant carrier", full-duplex radio. Changing them to a Redline or something else would actually be a downgrade for them... the true full-duplex operation as well as constant carrier radio makes this type of radio perfect for backhauling cellular and other telco type services. We have several of the 2.4ghz WM full-duplex radios co-located on the same towers we are... you can sure tell with a SA exactly what channels they are using... ;) Travis Microserv Mike Ireton wrote: Marlon K.

Two words -- Western Multiplex. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Ireton Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 8:25 PM To: wireless@wispa.org Subject: [WISPA] What the heck chews up 100mhz of 5.8ghz?!? While installing a new canopy accesspoint today, in an unserved community with no other wireless isps and little else, I discovered that I have about a -56 avarage across the entire swath of 5750mhz thru 5845mhz... what the hell?!?!? It's a small area deployment and we had planned on a simple low gain omni, but not now... I don't know who or what but 100mhz, is that really necessary?

Proxim (formerly Western Multiplex) Tsunami point-to-point radios. They eat up the entire 100MHz. They are ancient, inefficient and use a crude modulation, but that meant they worked, and worked well. Thousands of them were sold and they are still being sold new.
