RE: [smartBridges] Setting up Equipment

[Sean Duaine]

Thank you for reminding me of this. Yes I realize this will happen. We don’t plan on offering anything over 1.5~3.0mb service to any of our customers. Id like to see if anyone knows if this is the same problem with the sB also. The only thing im worried about is if by the 4th tower the ping times are too high. -Sean Duaine   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bullit Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 8:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Setting up Equipment   Ooops, also you may want to double check your deployment plans. I believe the smartBridges are half-duplex and by daisy chaining them like you plan, you could be giving up bandwidth with each hop. Possibly even up to 1/2.   e.g.  11megs ~ ~ ~ 11megs/5.5megs ~ ~ ~ 5.5megs ~ ~ ~ 2.5megs(CPE)  (of course not to scale but an example)   I know this applies to the Orinoco radios but I've never really checked it out with sB's.   Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean Duaine To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 8:39 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Setting up Equipment   Correct. Last question I have, its more of a WISP solution but you guys can probably help me. Right now for the tower equipment we planned on using Sector Panels that I found in a tessco catalog. Will there be any kind of conflict from the sb equipment? (Radio waves or maxrad are the antennas we plan on using). So our setup would be..   From the roof of our tower we have the AirBridge Outdoor (11mbps) to the tower. From the tower we have the sector panel antennas( 6 of them ) broadcasting to the AirBridge Outdoors at the clients house to the AP inside the house.   Everything there sound right? Or might I have some conflicts here? -Sean Duaine   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bullit Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 8:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Setting up Equipment   Ok, now let me add this:   NOC Switch - CAT5 up the tower to - AirPoint Pro Outdoor - External antenna (may need LMR to connect AirPoint to Antenna)   Tower 1 (receiver) AirBridge Outdoor - CAT 5 to switch - LMR to Antenna   Tower 1 (transmitter) switch - CAT 5 - AirPoint Pro Outdoor - LMR to Antenna   Again, there is no LMR except from the radios (which I assume both would be mounted up the tower.   I don't think you can simple connect the CAT-5 from the airBridge to the AirPoint because you would need power to be up the tower and most towers don't have power up there.   I see you are still mentioning LMR from the radio to an internal AP/Router and I still understand why you would do that.   Michael   ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean Duaine To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 7:56 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Setting up Equipment   Sorry, let me explain what were doing a little better. We have a noc that is <1 mile away from our base tower. We are using a radio to send signals to tower 1. Tower 1 will broadcast to tower 4. Our noc should also broadcast to tower 2 and 3, if it doesn’t reach due to LOS then tower 1 will have to do that.  From there we will be sending signals to the clients to an outdoor unit. From the outdoor unit, run the LMR-400 Cable to the internal AP/Router. Im just having a problem understanding smartbridges side of this. -Sean Duaine   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sean Duaine Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 7:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Setting up Equipment   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. -Sean Duaine   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rudolph Worrell Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 7:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Setting up Equipment   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.hyperlinktech.com www.jefatech.com www.demarctech.com www.ebay.com    Yes eBay!     Have fun building out. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Sean Duaine Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 8:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Setting up Equipment 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       Sean Duaine
