Re: [AFMUG] I need a valium
If you expect LTE 3ghz to be the silver NLOS bullet it is not. Putting speeds aside for the moment. Lets just talk signal. Same tower, same height Telrad 3ghz LTE with the Alpha dual-slant sector within 1db signal as 2.4 NBM2 on a UBNT 10db omni. LTE does not change physics. The sales guys want you to believe that. It ain't so. So, if you can attain a -75 on a 2.4 omni on a tower it won't work worth anything. That same signal on LTE will rock. If you think it was have equal penetration to 900mhz and be a replacement for your old FSK system, you are sorely mistaken. Near line of site? Yes. We had a very specific application that Patrick said without question would work. When it didn't it was a bad antenna, then it was bad jumpers, then it was a bad compact, finally they flew someone in who argued with it for a day and at the end of the day? You can't argue with physics. The whole "watch it work at -110" is garbage too. They skewed the numbers by 30db. Yes, it will work at -80, will it work well? YMMV. In the end it was too expensive for the limited benefits we observed. They swear I'm the only one in the world it didn't work for in the same breath they swore it would work without any doubt.

I haven’t dealt with this guy in years but Mr. Malone is suffering greatly, especially financially. He has gone through the legal process but there are always ways around it as he has learned. There are those that do not have a moral or ethical foundation in their business dealings and they hurt those of us who try to run their company by those principles. Those people need to be eliminated through legal means and intense pressure. Sometimes a lesson needs to be taught the hard way. I have no dog in this fight, I do however, think our industry takes a black eye with players like this. For example, how many of us have had our signs stolen from competitors and then replaced in the exact same spot? That’s kids play compared to this dude. Personally, I would go after this guy multiple ways simultaneously. Go after his clients with literally free service if you have to. Talk to the States Attorney General, file with the BBB, file complaints with D&B, knock on the door of every house with one of his antennas and steal the customer legally, get every ex-customer he has to hit them on Yelp (make sure you can prove he is doing it, not hard BTW, just pull the logs, check the MAC of the AP sending the disconnect, etc… and probably back it up with data from an analyzer), find the location of the transmitted signal and contact the FBI, contact Angies List, post his investors names everywhere and what kind of a dirtbag company they invested in, have your attorney notify them they could be in violation of fiduciary responsibility and can personally be sued if the Managing Member is found to be violating the law and they knew it (which they will when you notify them), hire his employees away and if you do, get whatever information you can assuming they aren’t under an NDA, find out who set up the transmitter since I know he didn’t, send them a cease and desist letter as well as hitting them with a restraining order, threaten with restraint of trade, etc… Attack the pillars of the company, the employees (which I’d also go after individually either in a criminal or civil manner) and the investors, not the company itself since he would be who you are dealing with and and could filter what you do.

Since ISP A is now the operator of the control point they would be illegally operating the point to point stations without assuming them from ISP B, am I correct? Any rulings, court cases, opinions would be super. Thanks in advance.

So eventually there will be a few EPMP APs up there and 2 backhauls (maybe 3) all with Radiowaves 2' HP parabolics with the skirts. The rail is good heavy guage steel it just doesnt have much lateral stability. We can back the nuts off the bolts coming through the top but we are limited to what we can reach through the hatch, apparently the bolts will fall out so we can do stabilizer bars, just short. Since its a dormant silo, we can come through the work area across the diameter of the railing, but i see a moron tower monkey tripping and falling off of it.

Re: [AFMUG] M series NanoBeam/PowerBeam and U-NII-1
Thats all fine and great. The question is how far does it lower the TX power.

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik 9HPn Performance? Improvement over PMP100?
Way to make a bunch of incorrect assumptions without every having used the product in the application described or at all. Loss of GPS sync is the biggest gripe. They do perform better than PMP100 unless you need to run multiple sectors in which case forget it. They do work far better than UBNT 900mhz gear. I have one pop with about 25 users. Overall TX is roughly 15mbps on 10mhz channel. It isn't great but its cheap and dirty and 15mbps is much better than 4mbps. That said, we are not deploying any new pops or upgrading old until 450i gear is released.

Improvement over PMP100? I believe it is downconverted 2.4ghz, like the UBNT 900mhz stuff... but I guess it could potentially be downconverted 5ghz too - definitely 802.11N based though. I assume it uses the same channel widths as any other 11n Mikrotik radio, so I would assume probably 5mhz, 10mhz and 20mhz. I haven't ever used these things, but I can't see how it could be worth the effort of replacing PMP100, My experience with UBNT 900mhz was always worse overall than PMP100 (with the exception of PTP links), and I really can't see how these could be that much better... especially considering they're only 1x1 and UBNT 900mhz gear is 2x2. The most obvious issue being that you're going to lose the ability to sync (which may not matter all that much in some networks)...

My question here is what is the longest link you've done with the NBM5 25 and what is the actual gain on these units since they don't seem to actually gain 25 as they're suppose to. I'm not opposed to using a Rocket and larger dish, just trying to see what the actual limits to the device are and what the actual gain is for math. Currently I've got the 24 mile shot with a 29 and 26dBi grids, decent, but still using 2008 MT hardware. I need more speed for growth.

Re: [AFMUG] Angry landlord over Roof mount antenna
It seems that OTARD was intended more to deal with HOA BS than tenant rights. Thankfully I have never had to deal with it. Thankfully I never intend to become a rental tenant again.

A: The rule applies to antenna users who live in a multiple dwelling unit building, such as a condominium or apartment building, if the antenna user has an exclusive use area in which to install the antenna. "Exclusive use" means an area of the property that only you, and persons you permit, may enter and use to the exclusion of other residents. For example, your condominium or apartment may include a balcony, terrace, deck or patio that only you can use, and the rule applies to these areas. The rule does not apply to common areas, such as the roof, the hallways, the walkways or the exterior walls of a condominium or apartment building. Restrictions on antennas installed in these common areas are not covered by the Commission's rule. For example, the rule would not apply to restrictions that prevent drilling through the exterior wall of a condominium or rental unit and thus restrictions may prohibit installation that requires such drilling. Don't think so. The rules are clear that permitted restrictions have to be "reasonable" and if there is a "conflict" the burden of proof is on the landlord. Further, restrictions cannot violate the impairment clause in section 2.2 i.e. may not unreasonable delay or increase costs, or preclude reception or transmission of an acceptable quality signal.

The problem becomes, how much aggravation does the landlord want to go through as the burden of proof undisputedly lies with them.

A: The rule applies to antenna users who live in a multiple dwelling unit building, such as a condominium or apartment building, if the antenna user has an exclusive use area in which to install the antenna. "Exclusive use" means an area of the property that only you, and persons you permit, may enter and use to the exclusion of other residents. For example, your condominium or apartment may include a balcony, terrace, deck or patio that only you can use, and the rule applies to these areas. The rule does not apply to common areas, such as the roof, the hallways, the walkways or the exterior walls of a condominium or apartment building. Restrictions on antennas installed in these common areas are not covered by the Commission's rule. For example, the rule would not apply to restrictions that prevent drilling through the exterior wall of a condominium or rental unit and thus restrictions may prohibit installation that requires such drilling. Don't think so. The rules are clear that permitted restrictions have to be "reasonable" and if there is a "conflict" the burden of proof is on the landlord. Further, restrictions cannot violate the impairment clause in section 2.2 i.e. may not unreasonable delay or increase costs, or preclude reception or transmission of an acceptable quality signal.

Re: [AFMUG] Angry landlord over Roof mount antenna
Perhaps. I would argue that if professionally installed there is no damage. Again, the burden of proof is on the landlord.

Re: [AFMUG] Angry landlord over Roof mount antenna
Does the tenant have exclusive right to the area of the roof where you mounted the antenna or is it a shared area among tenants? Does the landlord own multiple units there or just the unit where you installed the antenna? Its obviously an OTARD issue and I would tell the landlord to pound sand.
