Chad,

Based on your post, I just purchased a couple 533mhz boards with CM9 cards from Lonnie. :)

Travis,

I have a StarOS PTP link using the 533mhz WAR boards that get up to 33Mbps (TCP). That’s using CM9 atheros cards and 2’ PacWireless Dishes.

Hi,

Does anyone know actual TCP throughput with StarOS on their 533mhz boards in just a point to point config, using 20mhz of spectrum?

So... Who makes them?, how much?

Hi Richard,

  This cloaking mechanism is the 5MHz and 10MHz channel sizes that

George was referring to on the Star WAR boards. Works really well and even

seems to improve signal quality.

Cheers,

P.

Guys;

These all sound great.  I was reading just a couple months back about a

WISP

operator that had a severe problem.  Just a few yards away, maybe 300 feet,

another guy put up his tower.  I think they were both on 2.4 GHZ, and

someone suggested a different AP that would not even be detected by

conventional systems.  Something about nonstandard bandwidth, channel

spacing or coding.  I really feel that stealth is best here.  These other

guys have been in business for a while and could cause trouble that I do

not

need.

Trango does make a good product. I still have 2 Sunstream AP's in use.

They

are like Timex watches.

I'm using Star War boards. A little bit more than the trango s. The 2

card

boards in a 5 gig rootenna let me use the 2nd card for an omni.

Speeds are about 20+ megs or so and I cloak down to 5MHz and 10MHz

channel

sizes.

One of the things I've been doing is slapping up repeaters all over the

place. Cheap as hell, about 400.00 or so.

Lately I've ran lmr400 into some of my customers attics and installed an

omni for their home wifi. We tend to service our customers right to the

pc

and it's a lot better router than a linksys. And I have happier customers

and I'm happier.

The 2 port and the 4 port both have dual ethernet as well.

Pretty versatile product. Lonnie has come along way with the new war

platform.

That's on quantity 30.... $149 each. 5.8ghz, dual polarity, up to 3

miles

(add $40 for a dish and it goes up to 13 miles) and delivers up to

10Mbps.

Hard to beat! And with SmartPolling on the AP, you can get hundreds of

customers per sector.

that's only quantity (large!) pricing isn't it ?

If it's pretty absent of trees you might look at 5.8.  Trango has that

cpe for $150.  Not going to find any propriety gear cheaper.

I have been planning my WISP for about a year, and have yet to begin

delivery of bandwidth to customers. My choice for service delivery

was

802.11b, but with increased competition from other services nearby

(about 5 miles away) I am wondering how to avoid problems.  I have a

50' tower, and it is ROHN 45g.  My choice for antennas would be 4 90

degree horizontal antennas.  I have looked at bandwidth and shopped

it

to death.  My best price is $400 from Lime Light.  And I've built a

couple of servers, acquired some switches and a router.  The Router

is

a Cisco 1750.

My questions:

What CPE's and AP's would work best in this environment?  I want to

keep interferance to a minimum, as well as control costs.  My

environment includes lots of desert, and single story buildings.
