RE: [WISPA] Alternative to Meraki mesh??

OLSRd is open source and used on many devices. While I would not call it
plug and play once you have a basic setup adding nodes is very easy. Also as
there is a windows version of the code one can easily add any laptop or
desktop computer to the mesh. Again this is just one more tool for a WISP or
enterprise to use. 

We have customers in the shipping and mining industry where they mount these
on trucks where LOS back to a main AP does not work, with the correct setup
the traffic is carried back to the main servers over the MESH :)  We are
doing more aggressive mobile testing with the our RWR-HPG to see what they
can really do with fast hand-off and VoIP. Very cool protocol :)

The cost is not to make the initial distribution.
Its the ongoing maintenance of it, and not getting improvements made by a 
name brand vendor.
And its the cost in disruption to your business when, your contractor no 
longer has time to maintain, and you have to start from scratch with someone 
new.

I have worked with several of the "biggies" and the idea of multiple SSIDs
is usually to provide different services, not co-mingle them.

OLSR allows you to have multiple paths (tcp/IP) to your Internet gateway, a 
true mesh system not only allows multiple paths, but will also seek out 
different wireless connections to different SSID's to find the shortest path

to the Internet gateway. In the case of OLSR  (of the systems I've seen) it 
does not seek a list of SSID wireless connection.

CUWiN is indeed working on a Meraki port -- the initial port is finished, but
we're still working on miniaturization.  Meanwhile, I'm here in Austria meeting
up with folks from FunkFeuer and FreiFunk -- who've been doing fantastic open
source mesh wireless R&D work here in Europe for years (but that most folks
don't know about back in the states).  I've been pulling together a global
alliance of open source mesh wireless groups to create the Open Source Wireless
Coalition (see OSWC.net).  Now that a number of FOSS technologies have matured,
the goal of OSWC is to take best-of-breed components from each of these projects
into a single turn-key solution.  For the nay-sayers out there, these networks
cover enormous regions (e.g., Djursland in Denmark, Guifi.net in Spain) and
entire metro areas (e.g., Berlin, Leipzig, Vienna, Graz), have scalability to
hundreds of nodes, are using completely free and open source software, and have
been operational for years.  My goal this year is to help transport these
technologies stateside and get a critical mass of users together who want to
deploy and develop them.

> What's wrong with Meraki that you would trust some other company over  
> them?

The only reason folks don't know more about them is that they don't have the PR
and marketing money of the major corporations.  Currently, there's a lot of
anger in the open source community towards Meraki, because they took an open
source project (Roofnet) and closed it in a proprietary system while, at the
same time, not giving anything back to the community that helped develop the
technologies.  I think a lot of folks don't trust them because the good will and
original goals of the founders appear to have been subsumed by the dictates of
their venture capital funders.

While I agree with what you are saying in principal, the definition of a
"True Mesh" is every changing :)  OLSR is based on the ad-hoc design, and
with the level of processor we are using, a single ESSID and channel with
somewhere in the 75-100 interface range should work very well for most of
the customers that will be using it.  

To do what you are asking for would take more processing power and add to
the cost which is not the intention of the RWR design. This is just another
tool for the WISP to use in a design that makes sense with OLSR :)

You can dump their software and build your own. I have not seen
anything else quite like them but would also like to know what else
exists.

On the RWR product line mesh is strictly base on OLSRd, so what it support
so will the RWR. We have been getting many requests from customers for a low
cost high power mesh that would work in campus and school setups, which the
RWR works great for. We do not have multi SSID support but we do have
support for static routing. 

Can you give me an idea on how you would use this in a network design where
multi-SSID would be need with mesh and routing??

Also the RWR-HPG-N is an outdoor unit with an N connector which an omni can
easily be mounted using a barrel coupler thus removing the need for a cable.
https://www.demarctech.com/products/reliawave-rwr/rwr-hpg-n.htm

Also all the RWR-HPG come standard with the advanced lighting protection
expect for the DT-RWR-HPG-10AS which has an option as many customers are
using these for indoor installs where LP are not needed.

Re: [WISPA] Alternative to Meraki mesh??

2007-10-25 Thread Rick Harnish
Vendors, 

 

Please be careful when responding to posts.  Feel free to contact the
original poster offlist if you would like to promote your products.  General
response to questions are ok, but be wary that it doesn’t turn into an
advertisement of your products.  I know it is a fine line and I definitely
do not want to limit the flow of knowledge on the list, however, in fairness
to other vendors and the more sensitive list members, we need to be careful.


 

WISPA is attempting to promote vendor member products better than we have in
the past.  If you haven’t looked at the WISPA homepage lately, you will find
a new section called Vendor Member Spotlight in the menu on the left side,
with a listing of current Vendor Members below it.  These links will take
you to a page dedicated for promotional content  and link to the vendor’s
webpage.  We just started this, this week and thus far, we have only
received content from Butch Evans.  I have contacted all the vendor members
requesting this material and most are in the process of working on it
currently.  So check back often to see the updated Vendor Member pages.

 

Respectfully,

Rick Harnish

Re: [WISPA] Alternative to Meraki mesh??

2007-10-25 Thread Anthony Lemons

John,

Trust?  I don't trust anyone. :)
I'm just not to keen on the idea of building out a network using 
their (Meraki) equipment without having full control over the 
customer. You have to use their backend Dashboard and they do the 
billing. The small form factor of their boxes is cool and it appears 
their product works as advertised. I would rather pay my money to buy 
a piece of equipment and software that I run and control instead of a 
service, which is what it appears Meraki is migrating towards.

Hi Anthony:

We offer a 2-radio and 3-radio mesh product based on a proprietary L2
mesh.  It takes into account wireless datarates, node loads, position,
etc. and was built specifically for wireless mesh networks.  There are
many advantages of L2 meshes over L3 meshes.  Our mesh products also
offer QoS across the mesh end-to-end.

Here are the datasheets for the products:

http://www.ligowave.com/landing/specs/LGOM2AGN.pdf
http://www.ligowave.com/landing/specs/LGOM3AGN.pdf

These are available from Deliberant and from DoubleRadius as well.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Re: [WISPA] Alternative to Meraki mesh??

2007-10-25 Thread Tim Kerns
OLSR allows you to have multiple paths (tcp/IP) to your Internet gateway, a 
true mesh system not only allows multiple paths, but will also seek out 
different wireless connections to different SSID's to find the shortest path 
to the Internet gateway. In the case of OLSR  (of the systems I've seen) it 
does not seek a list of SSID wireless connection.

Subject: [WISPA] Alternative to Meraki mesh??

Anyone know if there is an equipment line along the lines of what
Meraki is selling?  I've been checking out Meraki and like the low
cost, self install, mesh technology, etc. but I do not like that you
will be depending on their backend (Dashboard) software. Are there
any other companies offering products along this line?

I understand that Ruckus is going to release a mesh system. I have not 
heard when, but I believed it to be soon.

You can dump their software and build your own. I have not seen
anything else quite like them but would also like to know what else
exists.
