[WISPA] Hotspot Phone Tech Support ?
I've asked this question before, never really got a response. Figured I'd try again. I run a number of hotspots, and need to provide 24x7 support for the users at them. Generally means asking the stupid questions like is your wireless adapter turned on / cable plugged in, etc I use an answering service now, and they're just not cutting it. They have been given a QA sheet by me, with prescribed answers, and then if none of those answers / procedures work, they're to patch me or my tech support person in to the call so we can take it from there. Well, they're telling customers Sorry, support dept is closed, let me patch you through to someone else all the time. They're now being fired ASAP. Need someone to replace them. These calls don't last long, and it's not too involved a process to support customers at a hotspot. Does anyone subscribe (or offer) such a service ? Needs to be courteous people with knowledge on the other end on supporting stuff like this. And, it NEEDS to be 24x7x365 staffed. WISPA Wants You!

[WISPA] Cable
I have been using an outdoor, shielded, flooded, with drain wire cat5e cable from Arc Wireless/Winncom for all my outdoor work and have had great luck with it. Now, it appears this cable is no longer available. I'm looking for a replacement. While I'd prefer the same cable, I'd be able to live with a non-flooded version. Any recommendations?

After the FCC released its proposed rules for TV whitespace, the FCC asked manufacturers to provide devices for testing to the FCC lab. The FCC released the results of the two devices and they were not impressed. The lab found the devices to be too prone to causing interference. These were just the first prototypes and were bound to be weak. Now that manufacturers have a better idea of what the FCC is looking for, they can go back to the drawing board and try again. Comments are due on the notice by August 15th with reply comments due August 27th. Wouldn't be a bad idea for a few of you to file comments and let the FCC know that just because these devices didn't work, the commission should resist any pressure to delay the opening of this spectrum and work with manufacturers to create a market of compliant devices. Also, the prototypes were created by a consortium of Dell, Google, HP, Intel, Microsoft and Philips. Are any WISPA vendors working on TV whitespace gear? If not, any idea why not? I'm just a dumb lawyer but this seems like a potentially large market for Alvarion, Trango, Motorola and everybody else.

Re: [WISPA] Cable
Definately call Shireen, (www.allrfcables.com) He stocks the non-gel cable that is a replacement/equivelent for ArcWireless type. (sometimes he has it with Gel) We use it for most of our outdoor installs, its been working well. On a side note, as policy we now prefer to select non-Gell Filled. We found it unnecessary (If actually not burying cable in ground), because the gel usually just ended up oosing out over time causing failure of Ethernet connectors, or a mess dripping inside premise at terminations. Basically we predict that radio solutions without gel-filled would end up with a longer life without maintenance using non-gel filled.

Re: [WISPA] Hotspot Phone Tech Support ?
Why would you expect an answering service to do tech suport? Isn't it out of their league to handle anythng more than taking a name number and message? The problem I see with hotspot tech support, is the cost should be much higher than the hotspot internet service costs. A per incident price makes more sense to me.

[WISPA] Managing your network on the go-go-go!
I'm looking for a way to keep an eye on my network, and to fix some basic stuff, while hiking, or on vacation, or what-have-you. Ideally, something I could take to a baseball game with me, even. A laptop computer is far too big for what I've got in mind, as it's likely to double as a pass-around pager for whoever's on call this week. Thus, I'm probably limited to a Blackberry or maybe a Windows Mobile device like the Motorola Q, running on a cell phone network. Most of our towers are running Valemount's StarOS software, so we need something that has an SSH client, and that SSH client needs to support key chording (Control-whatever, basically). Most devices like this, a Web browser is a given, which should handle the rest of our needs (looking in on the network monitoring system, and a couple Ligowave towers). The ability to receive (and, maybe, send) emails is important, but that's pretty much guaranteed these days too. (Worst case, I whip up some email-to-SMS voodoo.) VNC support would be swell but probably not strictly needed. (Besides, it'd take forever to scroll around a 1208x1024 desktop on one of those...) I can't be the first one here who's looked at getting a Blackberry (or something similar) to handle basic network stuff remotely. What works? What doesn't? Will I even be sorta-happy with, say, a Blackberry 8700? David Smith MVN.net WISPA Wants You!

[WISPA] 60Ghz backhaul....
I was wondering of anyone had any advise as to what type of radio to get 100+mb throughput with high reliability. This would be an upgrade to a backbone. I have read up on some of the 60Ghz but the one I found was well over 10Gs (not happening). One important thing is that I have to stay out of the 5.7 range (this tower has that covered.) and there lies the trouble. I am, so far, looking at some 5.4s but If anyone has any advise, I would appreciate it. Regards, LP WISPA Wants You!

David, This is totally in the other direction of having a full keyboard, but you might look at the Nokia 770 and 800. The 770's are on discount now, for about $150. Someone showed me theirs last week. It is more geared toward Wi-Fi connections, but would connect to the net thru bluetooth to your cellphone. Seemed like a reasonable web browser for something that fits in your pocket. And it runs linux, so ssh is there. I was able to connect to a StarOS AP in less than a minute. I'm hoping ssh can be configured with some macros, plus practice should improve on time. 800x480 screen, I might new glasses. On August 6, at 3:58 PM August 6, David E.

I intend, eventually, for this hypothetical gadget to be passed around every week between techs. This means I'd have to buy three new phones, all with Bluetooth support and data plans (to use for tethering to the 770), which is likely to cost quite a bit more, long-term. Either that, or I buy one phone for tethering, but then whoever's on call that week has to keep track of three gadgets - a personal phone, the Bluetooth phone, and the 770 - which starts getting annoying and cumbersome again. If this mythical device is too big to fit in a pants pocket, it will get left at home, where it doesn't do anyone any good. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] 60Ghz backhaul....
5.4 or even 5.3 should be good. Depending on how long of a run it is. How long do you have to go? How fast?

This would be an upgrade to a backbone. I have read up on some of the 60Ghz but the one I found was well over 10Gs (not happening). One important thing is that I have to stay out of the 5.7 range (this tower has that covered.) and there lies the trouble.

Re: [WISPA] Bandwidth
It all really depends on the geographic location of the source. Rural areas are more costly than Metro, the infrastructure is already there. It sounds to me that the provider has the facility and bandwidth, I would just compare quotes similar to that area. some people can get 10Mbit for $1000.00 a month over Ethernet, others pay $2000 for 6Mbit over Traditional T1's.

Re: [WISPA] Managing your network on the go-go-go!
One of my employees has the HTC Mogul. He's got Sprint (who we left because I got tired of dropped calls and the limited coverage). They had it in stores starting last month. Our company is on Verizon, and Verizon hasn't released it yet, so I'm still waiting, but that is definitely going to be my next PDA phone. Runs Windows Mobile 6 and you can do just about anything you'd ever want with it. The rumor on the street is that Verizon will have it in stores around November. I'm particularly excited because Verizon is in the process of upgrading the towers in our area to EVDO (my phone keeps switching between 1X and EV, so I know its close), so the speed of e-mail and web on it should be pretty good.

What SSH client are you using? (And does the keyboard actually have a Ctrl key?) It's likely I'll still be stuck with a Blackberry because of cell coverage, sadly. (Around here, the best coverage by far is Alltel, who recently bought out local company First Cellular; ATT/Cingular has, by most accounts, pretty iffy coverage. And Alltel is all about the Blackberry. Either that or the Moto Q.) I'll look into that one, though. Thanks for the reassurance that my idea isn't totally nuts. :) David Smith MVN.net WISPA Wants You! Join today! http://signup.wispa.org/ WISPA Wants You!

RE: [WISPA] Contract Installers
Ron, Please be patient. John sent his secretary an email asking her to prepare the copy. He is out of touch for the next two days working on some important projects. I'm sure he will get it to you as quickly as he can.

Re: [WISPA] Contract Installers
I sent it to him already. It is a large enough file that I have no intentions of sending it to the list because the bandwidth consumption to send it to everyone is a waste. If anyone who is a paid WISPA member needs the document then feel free to request it from me directly. All the best, Scriv Rick Harnish wrote: Ron, Please be patient.
