Re: [WISPA] Mobile broadband for Law Enforcement (Small town)
I've used Canopy 900Mhz while mobile before. It hopped between towers quickly enough that I'd only loose a few pings From what I've heard of Butch's Mikrotik setup, it sounds really nifty. IIRC he used two wifi cards. One would be the data connection and the other would look for a better connection and they would switch roles as the vehicle travled. Totally blew my mind that you could script up Mikrotik to do that.

Re: [WISPA] Mobile broadband for Law Enforcement (Small town)
The patrol cars using our network use cisco cards with two rubber duckies and two Hawking amps. The antennas are installed on either end of a 2h x 3 d x 4w plastic kit enclosure sitting on the dash. They can go 60mph down the boulevard and not lose a packet. While this works, I would not have done it this way. I would have used a magenetic rooftop antenna with an amp (to deal with the cable loss) and made the car function as a mobile WDS access point.

4.9 performs just like 5.2 and 5.8. There is no NLOS. I have deployed a lot of it for PD surveillance cameras. The noise floor is low, but I still have links that just will refuse to work. And there are only 2 non overlapping channels unless you squeeze your bandwidth. -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Patrick D.

Re: [WISPA] Mobile broadband for Law Enforcement (Small town)
I think if they use the Ubiquiti cards, you're asking for trouble with the antenna and cable hanging off the thing. It really IS a messy setup. Installing the Mikrotik R52Hn mini-pci card inside the laptop, the mess totally goes away. If a large antenna is needed, as I did, install an SMA connector to the laptop case with a pigtail going to the card. Depending on AP placememt, it should talk to them fine.

I did, however, use to use a magnetic mount on the roof and run a cable into the truck to a MMCX connector to snap into the card. worked darned well. lots of wires though. What I ended up doing was put a Mikrotik R52H card in the laptops to an SMA conector I installed in the laptop. Works much, much better and I can use either the SMA if I want to put a big antenna on it or it will use the internal laptop antenna. The bonus is that it's cheaper to go that route. So it sits in the toolbox.

I have been dealing with different aspects of law enforcement for years and it seems like they are never happy. Then you have the officers that will not want the stuff in their cars to start with. Somehow that will be your fault to.
