-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My first question would be has anyone on this list had expierence with locating a wireless node on a City water tank?
As a WISP in a rural area, we have one node located on the top of a water tank. This node has a point to point back to the central node, and an access point with an omni to provide service to the surrounding valley. Lately, I have been having some really odd problems which I have been scrambling to find a solution for. It appears to manifest itself in the form of service outages for various people, at various times, in various locations. While one customer is working fine, another is completely dead in the water, there is no real pattern to any of the service outages. Monitoring the point to point proves that it is solid. There is no packet loss, and no problem pulling data through it. The entire infastructure has been rebuilt multiple times, From cable replacements, to antenna replacements to new bridging and accesspoint equipment. The Omni stands about 10 feet high off of the top of the water tank, which I would estimate to be a 30 foot diameter circle of steel. We have tried lowering, and adding height to the omni as well. I would like to know if anyone has any ideas as to why this node would perform so diferently than my other nodes. I am able to provide a great service on all of my other locations. This one I have honestly been fighting with for the past 6 months. I can elaborate on anything needed to help analyze the problem. I didn't want to go too deep into things untill I found if people had an interest. Thank you kindly for your time. I appreciate any help.
