That's why I use Star-os, so that I could extend
the timing limitations... Again, to get to 15 or more
miles.
I have several customers beyond the limits of
normal "wifi", being 18, 16, 14,. etc miles from the AP.
I expect to have a few over time that go close to
30 miles.

With client shots that are upto 15 miles long, 802.11b doesn't
seem to hold up. That is why we went to Karlnet in the first
place...

And you are totally against running purely 802.11? wi-fi? It would be
pretty easy/cheap if that was an option.

The point of this is not to replace the antennas at the customer end. I
do no use 'all in one' antenna and radio on my existing Turbocell
system. All use a separate external antenna with the radio in a NEMA
box. I wish to replace just the radio boxes, not the antennas/amps.
I'd drop the 2.4 gig stuff and go with a new 5 gig system.
Keep what you've got up on the tower and put the new gear up in
addition to what you have.
I wish I could, but to put up a new tower antenna, I will have to pull
one of the old ones. Contract issues.
Then move people off as devices fail.
It'll save you a LOT of time and trouble to go that way.
My 5 gig system is still Trango. I'll look at the new Airaya and SB
gear as we get some more time on them.
laters,

Hi all,
Well, with YDI/Terrorbeam closing the Karlnet office in Ohio, I think I
need to find a replacement for TurboCell systems..
My requirements for a replacement .....
1) must use the same 2.4GHz antennas and amps I currently have
installed.
2) compatible with many different boards for CPE and AP
3) polling or token based. No hidden node issues.
4) tolerant of a wide spread in snr levels between clients.
4) low cost.... (yeah, right!)
I am not interested in 'all in one systems' where I have no ability to
mix n' match antenna's and such.
So far, I have heard a little about Netstream, (from MikroTik), and
about StarOS.
Netstream seems to offer polling and long range PtMP. However, having
to get new licenses every year is annoying.
StarOS offers up to 10 non over lapping channels in the 2.4GHz band.
This could be useful in cleaning up interference issues at some towers.
I lean toward Netstream because I have had good luck with my Mikrotik
routers that are currently in service, but I am more interested in
finding something that will last. I am also concerned about being left
high and dry as ydi/terabeam just did to me and many others.
Anyone out there using one or both of these systems? How about another
system meeting these requirements that I don't know about?
Thoughts?
