RE: [smartBridges] Setting up Equipment

Allright, I found the typical site. I think the main thing I was getting confused on was the CPE itself. The other options I’ve looked at have the cpe (more of a pizza box) and I was looking for that. That’s good that its only the outdoor + ap + other equipment. With this mailing thread & help I’m glad ive decided to go with smartbridges.

-thanks

One way is to use the Airbridge outdoor unit.

 

Attach the mast to a location with a desired antenna. (If you are using Airbridge Total then the antenna is already in the radio) 

 

Mount the bridge to the mast.

 

Make a pigtail from the antenna to the airbridge.

 

Run the cat 5 cable from the bridge to the customers PC/router.

 

Home that helps.  Please see smartbridges explanation of a typical WISP setup.

That airbridge isn’t going to be detected inside someone’s house from a tower a few miles away. I already have good prices on the cables, crimps, tools, etc of what ill need there… It’s just the understanding, or lack thereof of the system setup. I understand how it works… I’ve gotten everything understood till I reach the clients house.

Welcome  Sean.

 

Some radios come with antennas built in but the airbridge is stand alone.  See them here http://www.smartbridges.com/new/products/ab.php.  There is an indoor and an outdoor units.

 

As for pricing on brackets, cable, antennas, crimps and tools.  You will have to look everywhere!  I get my stuff from these guys.

 

www.ebay.com    Yes eBay!

 

 

Have fun building out.

Please excuse my ignorance & stupidity on this, I’ve looked for several hours on google and I can’t find a straight answer. We are currently getting costs numbers to deploy our wisp. We have decided to use SmartBridges equipment. My question is this… >From the antenna on the tower, the signal is sent down to the CPE (airbridge??) that is outside... from here we run a LMR400 cable to the airPoint (with Ethernet)? Also when I was previously looking at Raylink they had the pizza box like dishes outside. Is that also what the airbridge is? Or is that another piece of equipment that will be bought? Again, please excuse how stupid this may sound, but I can’t find any resources on this and were trying to figure out how much many we are going to need for deployment. I also realize we will need mounting brackets, cable, switches, and other equipment. But I’m just trying to get the prices for the equipment here.

-Thanks
