Re: [AFMUG] Samsung smart TVs
I recently had to deal with a Samsung problem for the cable company I consult for. Turns out Samsung had a server outage that affected the D and E models if memory serves. Of course it had to happen the very same day the cable plant made some fairly large changes (last Tuesday), so it took a little digging to track down the problem.

Re: [AFMUG] Rocket series shields
As others have said on this thread.. The XW Titanium units are worlds better (in terms of speed and interference immunity) than the TI and XM radios. They are stable if you run the interface at 100 Mbps instead of 1 Gbps. If the regular rockets are now available in XW I suppose those would be as good as long as you add shielding. I personally would just use the XW Titaniums to avoid the cumbersome shield. What I really want however is the AC radios with backwards compatibility so I can deploy a mixed N/AC network.

AGL.We moved to higher point and signal jumped to -75 dBm, The Bad: Radios associated but would not pass traffic using 5MHz channels. I tried 3 MHz channels as well and would not either. Noise floor was jumping from -95dBm to -81 dBm.. The association would stay up at -79 dB while moving and drop. As soon as we had clear shot with would connect but pass no traffic from Internet. I could make changes to AP but that was all. We moved closer to site and parked at furniture store with clear LOS. Even with a -65 dBm at 6 miles ,,,no Internet traffic. I had an IP from MT and speed test would load slowly and error out with latency message. Pings were all over the place with a few time outs. So interference was too great in this part of town to use these. I will share screen shots in later posts.

Re: [AFMUG] Rocket M900 tests
We've had this discussion before, but I might as well re-state it. In the right environment, 900 will still have better penetration than 3.65, no matter what fancy trickery telrad has or has not endowed upon it. The TVWS equipment could be an option, although the regulatory uncertainty with the frequencies involved is a bit troubling. -Jason On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 11:31 PM, Mike Hammett af...@ics-il.net wrote: On purpose? www.telrad.com www.runcom.com (I honestly ran out of time last week to talk them.

Well I know some of you are in the clutches of ole man Winter. Did some testing with the M900 Rocket with dual pol Yagi installed at Condor's Lower Comanche Peak site Friday afternoon. The Good: Even at 8 miles blocked by buildings and houses, I could see the AP on site survey menu with signals in the -89 to -95 dBm range but no association. We had a mast with two antennas and M900 on truck with height about 10 ft. AGL. We moved to higher point and signal jumped to -75 dBm, The Bad: Radios associated but would not pass traffic using 5MHz channels. I tried 3 MHz channels as well and would not either. Noise floor was jumping from -95dBm to -81 dBm.. The association would stay up at -79 dB while moving and drop. As soon as we had clear shot with would connect but pass no traffic from Internet. I could make changes to AP but that was all. We moved closer to site and parked at furniture store with clear LOS. Even with a -65 dBm at 6 miles ,,,no Internet traffic. I had an IP from MT and speed test would load slowly and error out with latency message. Pings were all over the place with a few time outs. So interference was too great in this part of town to use these. I will share screen shots in later posts. We knew the 902.928 MHz noise floor in central and east side of El Paso was high so I was not surprised. On the far west El Paso which borders with New Mexico, we have a water company using these for SCADA and cameras at 1 1/2, 3 and 6 miles with no problems using 5 MHz channels colocated with Phoenix Contact FHSS 900MHz I/O. This link has an Ubiquiti sector on AP and dual TY-900 antennas at CPE side. Note: The M900 AP is collocated with several M5 rockets on same tower.

Random LBT hits, the APs show inSync and outSync counts but no lost/acquired timing messages in the event log, and the SyncInjector says nothing happened, SMs going crazy losing session, APs reporting SMs out of range when things go nuts and I have to reboot the AP(s).

Well I know some of you are in the clutches of ole man Winter. Did some testing with the M900 Rocket with dual pol Yagi installed at Condor's Lower Comanche Peak site Friday afternoon. The Good: Even at 8 miles blocked by buildings and houses, I could see the AP on site survey menu with signals in the -89 to -95 dBm range but no association.We had a mast with two antennas and M900 on truck with height about 10 ft. AGL.We moved to higher point and signal jumped to -75 dBm, The Bad: Radios associated but would not pass traffic using 5MHz channels. I tried 3 MHz channels as well and would not either. Noise floor was jumping from -95dBm to -81 dBm.. The association would stay up at -79 dB while moving and drop. As soon as we had clear shot with would connect but pass no traffic from Internet. I could make changes to AP but that was all. We moved closer to site and parked at furniture store with clear LOS. Even with a -65 dBm at 6 miles ,,,no Internet traffic. I had an IP from MT and speed test would load slowly and error out with latency message. Pings were all over the place with a few time outs. So interference was too great in this part of town to use these. I will share screen shots in later posts. We knew the 902.928 MHz noise floor in central and east side of El Paso was high so I was not surprised. On the far west El Paso which borders with New Mexico, we have a water company using these for SCADA and cameras at 1 1/2, 3 and 6 miles with no problems using 5 MHz channels colocated with Phoenix Contact FHSS 900MHz I/O.This link has an Ubiquiti sector on AP and dual TY-900 antennas at CPE side. Note: The M900 AP is collocated with several M5 rockets on same tower. Jaime Solorza Wireless Systems Architect 915-861-1390

Re: [AFMUG] Rocket series shields
We have had odd issues with the titaniums, I dont know if there has been a redesign on them since we purchased them a while ago, but they just seem to crap out in poor conditions much easier than the standard rockets. The backlobes on unshielded ubnt radios saved the day for us one time when we had a lightning strike, we started at the remote site that had a ptp 300 integrated struck. All we had for spares was connectorized and the tower would not allow for a dish. The site is low use so we decided to throw up a nanobridge. It happenned the site at the other end had a ubnt backhaul facing the other direction. We were able to bring the link up and peak it to that backhaul, which was nice because we didnt have to scramble up to that location to swap out radios, or return to this site to peak it out. We have since shielded that backhaul On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 10:28 AM, Mike Hammett af...@ics-il.net wrote: Are the Tis actually working for you?

Re: [AFMUG] Rocket series shields
For Rockets there are two different shields. One is the Rock Shield which shields the original Rocket case. Second there is the shield that bolts onto some of the parabolic dishes that provides slightly better sidelobe performance on the dishes themselves. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 3/2/2015 9:38 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: I think he means exactly what he said being that he later addressed RF Armor directly. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com https://www.facebook.com/ICSILhttps://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalbhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutionshttps://twitter.com/ICSIL *From: *Josh Luthman j...@imaginenetworksllc.com *To: *af@afmug.com *Sent: *Monday, March 2, 2015 11:36:54 AM *Subject: *Re: [AFMUG] Rocket series shields RF armor shield you mean?

Re: [AFMUG] Aruba Networks?
BelAir did the same thing, but they did it the right way technically, separate radios in every direction. Motorola did it the wrong way at ½ the price and introduced the 1/n problem with a single radio. Tropos had the best mesh mobile solution and it worked great. Aruba has a great mobile solution also up to about 40mph though, just not the cheapest. None of them had any reasonable throughput though over multiple hops, especially with the 1/N issue. When we tested the BelAir, the best we could get through it was about 17Mbps TCP/IP versus SkyPilot at 12Mbps but the BelAir could hop.The biggest problem for all of them is they priced themselves out of the market. The most cost effective solution today is any vendor with a Peplink mobile router in the car with dual radios talking to the cheapest APs you can get up on the poles. It can look ahead and connect before dropping the previous connection. Rocket M2’s with omni’s work pretty well. rory From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Chuck McCown Sent: Monday, March 2, 2015 10:09 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Aruba Networks?
