Map your WISP Coverage Area and Help WISPA Raise Funds!
>From now until January 15th, Brian Webster Consulting (Wirelessmapping.com) will donate 15% of the proceeds to WISPA for any WISP mapping project designated for submission to your respective state broadband mapping initiatives. It is understood that the request for information by these state agencies is time consuming, invasive and problematic. There are ways around these requests that will still allow WISP's to stand up and be counted. This can be something as simple as converting your whole network coverage map generated in Radio Mobile to a shape file using specialized GIS mapping tools. Costs can be as low as $195 if you supply your radio mobile combined coverage file. Another option for a full network coverage map is to assemble your list of AP site coordinates, height above ground and the frequency band being operated on. This data can be used to create accurate coverage maps which can then be compiled in GIS shape file format. You would also get a Google Earth file for internal uses and customer pre-qualifications, in this file are separate maps for each site. Price is based on the quantity of RF plots conducted in the same batch. For WISPA to be most effective for your industry, they need to compile statistics quantifying the actual number of WISP's, the areas they serve and the number of people being served by Fixed Wireless Broadband. We can't get by just guessing anymore. Accurate mapping is but one part of the process of gathering industry data. Please do your part in helping WISPA and the WISP industry. Map your network and get on those state maps. This method does not require any disclosure of your customer database. To be eligible for this offer you must be a verified WISPA member and submit your data prior to the deadline. If you have any questions please contact Brian at 607-643-4055 or email [email protected].
