[WISPA] Collisions in RF

2006-01-26 Thread Paul Hendry
Hi all,

As standard 802.11 is a half-duplex technology, does anyone know
exactly where collisions occur? I.e. is it in the air between antennas, on
the feeder inside the antenna, on the jumper/pigtail between the antenna and
the radio, on the radio card itself, or all of the above?

Cheers,

P.

Hello ccooper,

Why go higher then 9db? The pattern will shrink to paper thin
figuratively speaking. We have wy better luck with 9db or less
at 900mhz.

Tom:

The unique connector isn't required IF the equipment is intended for, 
marketed, and distributed to be installed by professional installers 
(who can be reasonably assumed to be able to do the math and not use an 
antenna which results in violation of Part-15 EIRP limits.)


Unique connector requirement was intended for consumer gear like 
Wi-Fi APs, wireless video cameras, etc. sold through the mass market. 
Completely ironic and ineffective; laughable even when you consider 
that you can get high-gain antennas for the Linksys AP unique 
connectors at Radio Shack.


I strongly prefer a good old reliable, sturdy easy-to-weatherproof Type 
N connector on outdoor gear.



Thanks,

Steve

Brian,

You have other choices. DoubleRadius is stocking Mikrotik now, and they have 
good customer service policies, significant stock, and fair prices.


WISP-router, has always done right by me, but you have a choice, if they

After hearing all the good posts about them I thought I must have done 
something wrong.  I called back to give them one more chance to talk with 
me about this.  This is how it went down.  Keep in mind I was very polite. 
I only called to request info about their policies.  I thought if the 
policy was somewhere I signed, or should have read or somethingthere 
may be something legitimate to what Beverly claims.  Because if I had 
access to the policy from the phone order, packing slip or invoiceI 
can't really say much because I should have read it.  If that was the case 
I could only complain about the crappy policy.  So far, my digging has 
yielded no such policy.



Ok, so I just called. Beverly answers the phone. I say hey this is Brian, 
I talked to you earlier.  I am looking online at your site trying to find 
information on your seven day policy you referenced. She says it is on 
bottom of packing slip. I say I am holding the invoice and packing slip 
and it is not there.  I say, So you don't have it posted anywhere? She 
says It's been too long and there is NO WAY I can do anything about this, 
goodbye  And hangs up on me.


Seriously, who hangs  up on customers calling to request a policy?  This 
was the perfect chance to prove to me where the policy was in text and why 
I should have read.  Getting hung up on pretty much tells me no such 
policy existed for my order.


You know what I just noticed.  At the bottom of the invoice it says, ALL 
goods returned for credit, replacement or repair  require  That is the 
last line.  maybe there is more info after that.  Can someone look at 
their invoice and see if there is more wording after that?  I'd like to 
know if the 7 day policy if just cut off my invoice (faulty printer maybe) 
or if Beverly is making this up.

2006-01-26 Thread Steve Stroh


Tom:

To me, sell @ Radio Shack = consumer = unique connector, sell @ Tessco 
= professional = standard connector.


YMMV

It IS a hard thing to enforce. It was written assuming good intent by 
the manufacturers. It's been the case that some manufacturers have had 
to change from standard connectors to unique connectors, and some 
unique connectors became not unique enough for the FCC's taste.


I was told once what the distinction was that the FCC uses between 
unique and standard RF connectors... but I was asked not to make it 
public. It's amusing, and simple.



Thanks,

Steve

Thanks. I was not aware of that.

Does that mean that once a manufacturer installs a N connector on 
their gear, it no longer is allowed to be sold at Radio Shack or 
Walmart. Does that Mean WiMaxwill never be allowed to be sold at 
Walmart legally? Does this mean that oncethey add an N connector they 
are no longer allowed to sell it to a municipality (an end user) 
unless they sell it through a reseller/consultant that will provide 
the work? Who is to define who is the general publicversus skilled 
engineer?
And is thisdetermined by the purchaser or the distributor? If sold 
through Tessco a company specializing in dealing with RF specialists, 
can the end user buy it from them, if the sales rep decides to sell to 
a home person? Does it mean it can't be distributed through Radio 
Shack if they have a policy to check that the buyer is a professional 
installer? Linksys sells both to consumers and RF specialists. If one 
product is labeled asconsumer line or labeled professional series, 
even if its the exact same product, does it define its right to use N 
connector?  I think there are simple ways to answer those questions, 
when everyone is working in good faith. But if it ever came push to 
shove, it would be a hard thing to enforce.
