[WISPA] signal tests
Im wondering how everybody else is handling signal tests for resi subscribers. We do most of our resi in heavily wooded very hilly terrain, so coverage can be somewhat tricky to predict based solely upon customer address - their mailbox/address may be at the top of the ridge and they live down in the valley or vice versa. When a new prospect comes in, we can make certain assumptions about their coverage based upon topo, RM plots and historical install data. But this still leaves us with a large number of potential customers that require a truck roll and on site signal test. At some point the scale of doing this becomes pretty large and time intensive. I don't feel that we can schedule people for an install and determine when we arrive whether or not we can do the install - most people have to take off work to meet us for the install. Has anybody come up with a better solution than having a full time signal test tech? Thanks Chris Cooper Intelliwave WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] signal tests
We have a very similar situation. I use a few maps to Topo studies on them. I use delorm topo for this. I can get a basic idea of hills and such. This gets about 50% out of the way with only 10% failure rate for those things you can't prepare for like a silo on their property and a two story tin shed lol. If there is ANY questions on the topo, we put them in a folder for physical surveys- where once a week, we take and drive to each location to get a signal readout. No matter what we do, there's still the possibility for failure and they are NOT happy to have the day off and all that excitement with a failed install! I do understand, though. That is our system so far and it is working decent. we also plot all working customers and failed surveys (and listing the reasons why or why not) on a google map that we keep. Hope that helps somehow :) Luke - Original Message - From: chris cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 10:04 AM Subject: [WISPA] signal tests Im wondering how everybody else is handling signal tests for resi subscribers.

(Normally we don't need anyone at home for the signal check.) Checks tend to stack up for a few days, then get done when a tech is in the area; if we're installing someone just north of Smalltown, we add an extra hour or two onto that tech's schedule and have him do all the Smalltown-area checks while he's in the neighborhood. This does require someone, or some software, to keep track of these things, to make sure no checks fall through the cracks, and occasionally a tech still has to take a day doing nothing but driving around doing random signal checks. It's not perfect, but it's the best we've got so far. We still have to do a truck roll for each signal test, of course, and there are still plenty of no-go checks.

Hi all. I'm looking for a Linux consultant to help me upgrade out web and mail server. Currently, it is running Fedora Core 3, Apache and Qmailrocks. I wish to upgrade it to Fedora Core 7 or later, without loosing the email or web sites. I think this will involve backing up the web sites directory trees and Apache config files as a start. But I have no idea how to backup the email data or username/password stuff. Nor do I know how to restore this on the fresh install. Any recommendations? Any takers?

Re: [WISPA] PHP Helpdesk
It's definitely not an install for people who don't have a lot of unix experience; it is a little troublesome even with a lot of experience. That said, most of the people I know who do the paid support have a good experience. -Clint On Dec 19, 2007 1:10 PM, Ty Carter Lightwave Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree completely...

RE: [WISPA] Climbing gear
If you know exactly what you want to the tee and have no questions nor do you want suggestions you can get it on line anywhere. If you want suggestions, have questions and may want/need guidance - - call Tennessee Equipment Supply. (Knoxville, Tn) Ask for Cliff and he is a very knowledgeable person and easy to talk to. Years ago when we first started this business I came clean with him and told him that I was dumb as a box of rocks and didn't know what I needed to be safe. He absolutely fixed me up and didn't over sale me. I have since came to respect and appreciate his service and buy all my gear there.
