Re: [WISPA] FM tower co-location
I have a 2.4g Cisco AP and a 5.8g MT backhaul link on a FM tower at 99.5mhz. My gear is at 230' of a 300' tower. The FM array is 10 bays that is fed by 50k watts, and is only about 15' above my AP and BH links. The Cisco is basemounted and the MT radio is on the tower at 230'. No problems what-so-ever.

Re: [WISPA] FM tower co-location
Yeah. It's, by far, my most troublesome site. Not all the fault of the FM system I'm sure. There are 3 or 4 competitors only a mile away. And my antennas have to mount behind another tower etc. But the general noise there is so high I have to take my volt meter outside of the building in order to get an accurate reading. I hate being up there! I'd much rather have two other systems with no other users in the area than one like this. laters, Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)And I run my own wisp! 64.146.146.12 (net meeting) www.odessaoffice.com/wireless www.odessaoffice.com/marlon/cam - Original Message - From: Chadd Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 6:06 PM Subject: [WISPA] FM tower co-location Curious if anyone here has co-located on an FM tower?

The station on the same tower as me is not a super high power station - I think they broadcast at 12,000 watts (we have one close that does 75,000 Watts) !! The RF engineer for the station told me that 40' was safe for short exposure. I have some gear closer to 12' away. They are required to turn down the power if you are going to be close. I don't want to ask them to do that too much (I am sure with the rent they pay they can dictate terms to the tower owners, if they are not the owners (not sure)). I bought an RF radiation suit. Unless I am going to be very close for a long period (hours), I just work in the suit. I also had a Narda RF monitor, until it had a 460' fall - oops. The bottom line is 50-300 MHz is very dangerous for human exposure. It will cook you like a microwave oven starting with your eyes and testicles.

Re: [WISPA] TRANGO!!
You read my mind. If they even had 90 degree antennas it would be great John Blair Davis wrote: That is too bad Since my biggest tower has less than 30 users, putting 6 $1000 ap's on one tower just doesn't make sense On the other hand, putting 3 AP's with 120deg antennas on a tower is something I can justify.

[WISPA] Fwd: Press Release - PePLink enhances wireless coverage with 900MHz frequency operation
PepLink is also promising 2.4 GHz CPE with WPA2. Far as 802.11 goes, I think they're on the right track with this and 900 MHz gear based on the Ubiquiti card.-- Forwarded message --From: Maggie Cheng [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: Jan 25, 2006 5:14 AM Subject: Press Release - PePLink enhances wireless coverage with 900MHz frequency operationTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] For immediate releaseHong Kong, Jan 25, 2006 – PePLink, a leader in manufacturing and marketing broadband devices, integrated solutions and embedded platforms, today introduced a municipal Wi-Fi networking solution with frequency operation at 900MHz and transmit power at 700mW to highly enhance the wireless coverage. The solution consists of a multi-SSID advanced access point – PePLink PolePoint UltraPower 9 and a secure Wi-Fi Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) - PePLink Surf UltraPower 9. PePLink's PolePoint UltraPower 9 and Surf UltraPower 9 offer incredible range advantage over 802.11 solutions at 2.4 or 5GHz in obstructive environment and at the same time support the feature sets of 802.11 standards. The devices are equipped with the SuperRange 9 – from Ubiquiti Networks. By supporting 900MHz with 700mW transmit power, PolePoint UltraPower 9 and Surf UltraPower 9 can help the WISP to implement a citywide wireless network where obstacles like tall buildings weaken the signal strength while using standard 802.11 frequency operation, said Alex Chan, Managing Director of PePLink. The initial investment and ownership cost can be dramatically reduced by deploying much fewer numbers of access points in the field. Other than 900MHz, the PePLink PolePoint and Surf series also operates at 802.11a/b/g frequency. Featuring multiple SSID, the PePLink PolePoint can masquerade up to 16 access points on a single platform. Each access point can be configured with its own security policy (WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA-Enterprise, 802.1x with Dynamic WEP) and authentication mechanism. This enables the separation of Virtual LAN (VLAN) based on security and performance requirements. The PePLink Surf connects wireless WAN to Ethernet LAN. It provides 802.1x supplicant services as a network termination, and delivers a clear demarcation point to the end user. With the secure authentication and data encryption, WISP can gain competitive advantage by offering industry standard for secure access.

[WISPA] USF tax changes?
Does WISPA have a stand on this? http://techrepublic.com.com/2100-1035-5959140.html?tag=nl.e550 As one who has built my network without any public money, I have no interest in collecting special taxes. I have more than enough paperwork now... I also don't want my competitors to get government money to build their networks. But locally, I have found out that they are getting government grants to expand into my area. Having seen their install rates, monthly fees and tower provisioning costs, they would not be making any money if they did not have the government footing the bill. -- Blair Davis West Michigan Wireless ISP 269-686-8648 -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
