How much content will really be shot in 4K?

All of the Red digital video cameras record in 4K, the newer ones in 4K 60fps. 
Red cameras are common in Vancouver even on low-budget movie productions these 
days.

In our test bed we have tried both the –Lite and the AirPrism versions of the

20+ access points in close proximity. When we swapped out for the AirPrism 
version we didn’t see massive improvements, but things were already working 
pretty well so I didn’t expect this. We’ve also been through a ton of dev. 
builds so I don’t have a good feeling for what a –Lite vs AirPrism looks like 
in an A/B test with the current release software.

 

Next steps here are to deploy several AirPrism APs with very tight spacing and 
close channels to see how well isolated they are and prove out that technology.

For those of you who haven't heard, several of us started a new project 
yesterday.

https://github.com/esseph/groundcontrol

Licensing is tentatively set as falling under GPLv2.

We have already been offered code snippets, a dev box, a db server, and several 
people have decided to volunteer time to make this happen.

The initial idea is that the system itself will be free, with a possibly paid 
support/features option, or maybe a model similar to observium where the is a 
"community" (free as in beer) version that comes out every 6mo or so, and a 
"paid" version with newer features and direct support. We're not sure yet, but 
we want to make this project accessible and fairly vendor-neutral.

If any of you could volunteer time, support, code, documentation, ideas, etc. 
it would be greatly appreciated. This is a project by and for the WISP 
community. Thank you!

CRC errors have been a symptom of noise on the Ethernet cable. If have a few

.0001%, so I was really wanting to see if other see this, and those that

That's not normal, unless it was some one time event.  Is sync on the timing
port or power port?  If on power, do you have a Cat5 surge protector and
what type?  If it's a 300SS, get that out of there and put in something
newer and better, or at least bypass it temporarily to see if that's causing
the CRC errors.

If the counters are not incrementing and it only occurs let's say when

Subject: [AFMUG] 4.9 for medical records transfer from hospital to clinic

 

Could 4.9GHz be used for medical records transfer from hospital to clinic if 
license was passed from county to hospital?

It's a long shot, but I have to ask.

Couple of years ago I was on Diablo to replace some blown fuses and it was
blowing uphill and collecting on th bottoms of the radios.

Good times...

We do it on remote POPs because the wind and rain goes in weird directions

It was to address the potential of  corrosion.

 

We got burned yesterday where moving an active backhaul somehow sent a reset
signal to all of the AP's. The only think I can think of is that the
connector might have had some corrosion.

 

Crazy shit.

I don't see why anyone would do this, if water gets into your RJ45,
something has failed and needs to be replaced.

Re: [AFMUG] Cheapest way to bachaul 1gig fiber 1 mile?

[Jerry Richardson via Af]

1 Gig both ways?

 

You *could* theoretically use two AF24’s and a Mikrotik router to bond the 
connections. 

 

This would give them <1.0Gbps with redundancy.

What is the cheapest method of backhauling a 1gig fiber about 1 mile? I'm 
assuming you can't reliably bond or aggregate airfiber 24's can you?

Subject: [AFMUG] How to deal with constant customer internet saturation.

 

So it's becoming a reoccurring nightmare for me.  I get a customer calling in 
saying their internet is slow.  It ends up being their upstream or downstream 
or both are totally maxed out for hours on end.  Unfortunately, my 
responsibility does not stop there.

 

We have been going the route of installing Mikrotik's in the customer home, 
which helps us identify the problem.  But what do we do from there?

 

I feel like the overall bandwidth isnt the ENTIRE problem.  With more 
intelligent usage, more people can use it simultaneously.  Of course, giving 
them more speed would help, but I feel like it's a bandaid around the big 
picture, which is the fact that nothing plays nice with anything else.

 

Are there any mikrotik guru's here that could figure something out that we 
could preload on all these mikrotik routers that would help minimize this issue?

 

In my mind, I feel like the solution lies in the prioritization of each 
connection, without putting a hard limit on any one device.  I just can't seem 
to figure out the proper implementation.

 

Are any of you seeing this reoccurring nightmare?

I have a 2' parapet wall on both sides that I have to go over.  The wall is
braced enough to the hold a wire and the total distance is about 40'.
Basically I was going to mount to the inside of the parapet wall with
something like a J-mount .  Just wondering if I should do channel bar and a
pipe instead for strength or is there something else I need to use.

Re: [AFMUG] valuing a pay increase

[Jerry Richardson via Af]

Here is how I look at it:

My value is proportional to what I generate.

 

If I am an “employee” and my contribution is limited to doing “my job”, I am 
subject to whatever salary the employer deems I’m worth.

 

However, if I operate as a partner, and I generate new business, reduces costs, 
etc, I have an opportunity to discuss revenue sharing, commissions, etc. i.e. 
make myself invaluable and a contributor.

 

My .03 (adjusted for inflation)

Certifications situation sucks, the boss wont pay and I dont have the dough, I 
make just enough to be ineligible for the free government dough, but thats kind 
of the american way

 

Thats what im still trying to grasp, is the point of the employee pay to keep 
up the same purchasing power through minimal cost of living or to progressively 
increase it. I know it varies by economy and industry and area, but just 
curious in general from the employer perspective, I know from my employee 
perspective I want to be able to jack my house up and dig a new 10 foot 
basement.

Subject: [AFMUG] valuing a pay increase

im curious from the small business owner, which I assume most of you owners on 
the list consider yourselves, how do you value a pay increase? (assume its an 
employee that is worth their salt)

Do you try to just keep it where the employee has the same spending power, ie 
just cost of living to match inflation, percentage based, profit based, set 
value?

 

In discussions with the boss about future he mentioned a number, for shits and 
giggles I compared what my last raise is worth today.

 

I havent had a raise in 2.5 years, and based on the government calculators what 
I make now was worth 80 cents more 2.5 years ago than it is now.

 

The number he said was a dollar, which under normal curcumstances to po folk 
like me isnt a small raise.

 

but when I looked at the numbers, that dollar only puts me 20 cents up on where 
I was 2.5 years ago, that 8 cents a year in increased purchasing power.

 

That kind of boils down to an insult. Or is that the wrong way to look at the 
value of the potential pay increase?

 

I have never believed in asking an employer for a raise, my thoughts have 
always been that an employer thats a good employer will pay you what they think 
your worth to them, apparently im worth 8 cents
