Re: [WISPA] Legal Radio and Antenna Combos - Are there anyin existance?
I can tell you from past experience it is a good idea to find a good brand and use it. One of the things I learned at the WCA show a couple of weeks ago was that if you want to have a business worth selling later you had better consider using one high-quality well-known platform instead of a hodge-podge of radio solutions. Alvarion is definitely one of those "good" brands. There are others but I am betting that many out there would choose to go with Alvarion from the start if they had it all to do over again. With that said I will not discount the value I have seen in others out there like Trango, Tranzeo, Waverider, Mikrotik, Star-OS, etc. The trouble is though that it is rare to find one brand with one management interface (All FCC System Certified as well) for all the different platforms you will need as a WISP. With Alvarion (and few if any others) you can literally build your entire network on one trusted platform. I went to an Alvarion sponsored conference on WiMAX triple play offerings in Washington D.C last week. that was very informative but was NOT the reason I said what I did about Alvarion. There was a company who specialized in WISP acquisitions at the WCA show that described the most important factors in determining the value of a company. One of the negatives about WISP operations was generally the frequent use of a "hodge-podge" of different incompatible platforms of radios. They stated this was a very big problem for WISP valuations. They said that using one good brand of radios was a good way to make your system worth its highest value. Just some food for thought here guys. Especially anyone who might have funding but is new to running a WISP. Rolling your own solution is not always the best way to go and can actually hurt your efforts in many cases. Find a good brand and stick to it.

Everyone, I am at my wits end. I have searched high and low for a mini-pci radio & sector antenna combo for an 802.11b AP that are legal under the current FCC rules, which by my interpretation are: 1. Total output is 36 dbm or less. 2. Antenna characteristics must be the same as an antenna that has been approved for use with that radio, where TYPE refers to antennas with SIMILAR in and out of band radiation patterns. 3. Antenna gain must be equal to or less than the maximum the radio has been approved to work with. I can NOT find a radio that is approved for any antenna with real gain.

Re: [WISPA] My Towers Need More CPU - suggestions?
MiniATX form factor motherboard, with three PCI slots should have enough CPU to do about anything you want, and you can get DC/DC power supplies for them as well. I have a few WRAP boards we were using as backhauls and the CPUs are now maxing out, so I'm going to put these units in. Surprisingly enough, the computers with power supplies are quite a bit cheaper than a WAR or Routerboard. With the right kind of enclosure, you can control the climate fairly well. They are a little bigger than your WRAP or Routerboards, but still mountable on a tower. I have some generic Pentium III vintage motherboards up on towers right now (in NEMA enclosures), and they have been working fine since June of last year.

The more you think about it the more you are going to find reasons not to do it, what you have to do is just jump in and do it. Once you do you will know what you want to do.

Jason wrote: Bob, I really don't care if it is a CM9, I just wanted the routerboard because it can act as an L2TP server. I did not think that the wrap/routerboard controller really mattered because it isn't the radio, the mini-pci card is. So I think the real question is, are there any mini-pci/antenna combos that are legal? Where are the "Tons of certified combinations" and their certs? There are many manufacturers with certified systems with external antennas. Alvarion, Tranzeo, Trango, etc, etc. There are no mini-pci cards certified with external antennas that we could ever find. Most of the boards were recertifed in other manufacturers products as an assembly. Also you said: "Keep in mind that only a manufacturer of the product can consider it an equal or lesser equivalent to what was originally approved " Directly from the words of the commission's OET people in Washington. Where did that come from? Jason Bob Moldashel wrote: NahThere are a ton of certified combinations.

If you are caught with an uncertified system the FCC can tell you to pull the plug, and if you don't you can be fined. As far as I know there is no such thing as a certified system using WRAP boards or Mikrotik Boards. If you choose to ignore the rules be prepared for a visit from the FCC because they can knock on your door any day. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC 114 S.
