Re: [smartBridges] Best and simplest deployment tools

[Dennis Burgess]

No prob: )   I have one APPO currently, it has a 2 inch N Ginder changer then plugs into the N connector on the 8 inch pigtal off a MaxRAD WISP 14db 90degree antenna.  No AMP just the APPO direclty to the antenna.  It is currently about 80 feet up with the sourrounding trees at 50-60 feet up.  The area is heavy trees, but we are above them.  I can get good coverage anywhere within .25 miles with just a ABI.  I get better singal when I use a ABO with 12 feet of RG5 (whatever comes with the mag mount from pac wireless) connected to a 7db mobile antenna.  I can get about .75 miles out with just the ABI in one spot on the road.  Other than at, I hav'ent got much else.  I have tried from a hill with a good line of sight to the APPO.   I have a ABT, that just sux so far!    Any other suggestions?   Dennis   ----- Original Message ----- From: Blazen Wireless To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 7:48 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Best and simplest deployment tools 1st off you need to give us details one how you have the APPO set up on a tower on a hill on a house, does it have an omni if so what type what polarity etc. Did you do a site survey in that area to see if there is interference especially if you are vertical polarity! if there is which I suspect then I would suggest going H polarity. Until we know your layout we can offer much more.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis Burgess To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 4:14 PM Subject: [smartBridges] Best and simplest deployment tools I have been having a hard time getting signal.  Most of my customers are around 40% RSSI with Airbridge Indoors and are working well so far.  But, all these locations are within a mile of my Tower.  I have a VERY hard time getting anything over a mile!    Anyone wish to give me some pointers? I have been using a AirBridge Outdoor plus a 7db omni mag mount from Pac Wireless and a 19db grid from Pac to test for signal.  But it really stinks when I don't even know if my signal from the tower is getting to me..  The only thing I have is SimpleMonitor, which takes some time to assoicate sometimes.   Dennis
