Re: [WISPA] Routers
Jory,I am not a router tech, but we have 3 Imagestream routers in service here, 1 Gateway and 2 of the Rebels. I also have the main Imagestream office on my wireless network and host their server. We made the change to use Imagestream routers in 2000 and have not had any problems. The support staff has done great things to help tweak my wired and wireless network. Their head of sales is Jeff Broadwick [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I would recommend sending him an email and tell him what you need the router to do and he can work with getting you taken care of.

Re: [WISPA] Best system for a new WISP
I have heard that the current Alvarion VL firmware handles roughly 27 Mbps aggregate throughput. The latest Alvarion VL firmware will be out next month. Tests are showing 36 Mbps per sector max aggregate throughput (upstream + downstream). The real advantage for me will be the 30,000 packets per second capability. Estimates are now at roughly 300 simultaneous phone calls per sector. I want to be able to offer phone service in the near future. The higher packet count allows for each sector to handle more simultaneous customer sessions even if they involve much smaller packets. I have seen sectors brought down to very low capacity due to floods of little packets. I am guessing most consumer gear maxes out in the 5000 packet per second range. Does anyone have any real numbers on this? Scriv [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What is the max throughput in a PTMP setup?

They are NOT using the new Ubiquiti cards as I first thought. They have their own Atheros based design.

Re: [WISPA] Quick note of hello
Jeff, I read Patrick's post before yours. I am also glad to see you here. WISPA has been working hard to gain access to spectrum and better regulatory issues for our industry. We have seen some real successes. We still have a long way to go but the WISP industry has been making great gains toward becoming a well organized industry. We hope all of you can help us reach this goal. Jeff is also a good friend of mine. Jeff and I seem to always end up together at trade shows. I owe him several rides as he always seems to get stuck being my driver! Sorry about that Jeff. :-D Glad you are back, Jeff, Scriv Jeff Broadwick wrote: Ditto. I hear things are going well here!

RE: [WISPA] Quick note of hello
Title: Message Hi Charles, You must be talking about our new guy in the South Central, Bob Niemen (aka Dustin Hoffman's body double!). Don't look for connections that don't necessarily exist. North America (Alvarion, Inc.) has never lost its interest in the UL market. Remember, that in general the UL market contributes historically about 50% of our global revenue. When something accounts for about $100M, one always pays attention. My re-joining here is just a natural thing. I have a new hire that started today that takes off lots of the more traditional marcom work. I intended to get back to more direct market connections once he came on board. Second, both Brad and Ed are on this list for us, and they mentioned that it would be useful if I were back on. As well and maybe most importantly, Scriv let me know the other day that he bought some VL after all these years so I consider this somewhat of a show of support and appreciation. Bob's comments actually refer to our greater attention to the VAR channel. It had been neglected in some regions. We now have a resident body living in every region and all are pros that understand this is a very high touch businessand that is especially true of the UL market.

[WISPA] Universal Service Fund
Marlon has been asking us for a while to give him feedback on Universal Service. We have not helped him as much as we should have. He asked for input from the WISPA membership originally. I am asking everyone, members or not, if you can help. Marlon has been asked by a member of the House Commerce Committee (One of his Reps in Washington) to help them structure legislation toward the re-working on the Universal Service Program. Thoughts on the Hill are now leaning toward making it available to multiple operators in a market and opening it to aid in broadband as well as telco. The feeling from most WISPs is two things to date. Most think the government should make Universal Service just go away. I share some of that feeling myself. What should be known though is that government rarely makes things go away. They usually want a role. With that said we need to give them ideas on how to make this program help us in our goal to bring broadband into underserved and/or unserved areas. To do this we need to understand what the program does, what was its history, how it works and how it does not work. We need to develop a strong strategy for dealing with Universal Service and offer a position that legislators can feel good about and that helps show we are serious about helping in legislative issues. I welcome feedback from anyone with information which can help us develop this position. We need to act soon as the legislature is wanting to do something now. Please help us mold our future through this important effort. Your thoughts and knowledge are needed. Input from anyone with knowledge of Universal Service would be helpful at this time. What we do not need is an argument that we should just tell them to make it go away. We know that is what many of you want. In lieu of it going away we need to know how it can be made to help us.

Re: [WISPA] Universal Service Fund
I think the key is this: If we are going to be forced to pay into the fund, we must be able draw from the fund. However, as a small WISP, I really don't need any more paper work. I don't want it to go away, as I see the need out where it is 30 cable miles from the customer to the switch (for POTS). But, I am not sure that it really applies to us. My operating costs don't really change based on the customers range My install costs might be higher, but that is a one time cost. As I understand the USF, the payments are to offset the increased costs of maintaining rural phone service, not the increased one time costs.

Re: [WISPA] Brokers / Master Agents for Wireless ?
Rick, This can be a good thing. Referral programs can be great. I set up compensation plans and referral programs for ISPs. I also am a sales agent for 20+ companies (so I have an idea what the industry averages are).

I've been approached by someone in the t-1 / dsl resale arena that would like to get quotes on addresses from wireless guys (US!) first... Would this be the arena to ask for such qualifications or should we start up another list ?

Re: [WISPA] Anybody played with this gear?
Sorry to answer my own post but I thought it was needed here. I was asked offlist by a list member if I was supporting this product with the message I sent below.I need to be clear that I was not promoting this product at all. I was simply passing along what I was told to save others from making the call to get the same data. Scriv John Scrivner wrote: I just called them. They are asking $732.00 each for these units.
