 Hi,

 Just take your company logo down to your local sign shop and tell them
 you want to put vinyl lettering on your vehicles. They can take digital
 pictures of the vehicle, then place the logo and whatever writing
 (website, phone, etc) on the vehicle and you can look at it, make
 changes, and then they just print them out and stick them on.

 We have all of our company vehicles marked... and we actually generate
 sales from it. We pay about $300 per vehicle (including installation). I
 know the complete vehicle wraps are about $3,000 installed... that seems
 like a waste of money to me...

Happy Easter everyone,

I just got a SiteMonitor from PacketFlux and am trying to get it
going. I thought I would find some instructions in the box but I was
wrong. does anyone know the IP settings for this thing? Thinking it
would try to pick up an address from my dhcp server I just hooked it

If I remember right, they had redundant fiber there already.  I also 
remember something about the person doing it knowing that and cutting 
both sides of the ring.

Agreed, though -- secondary wireless connections would be a good backup 
in these sorts of situations, particularly when temperaments of union 
members have been high.

I was actually in Cupertino when it happened (on Apple's campus), and I 
noticed a blip in my iPhone's data services at that time.  I never knew 
what it was until I said something to my friend at Apple, and he had 
just heard the news.

 Anyone know how banks in the Bay Area did through this? I wonder  
 how
 many
 banks went dark and whether they had any backup plans/ 
 connectivity. Me
 thinks its doubtful.

 I also wonder if the bigger pharmacies such as Longs, Walgreens,
 Rite-Aid,
 Etc had thought about these kinds of issues? I personally doubt it.
 I bet
 you they went dark along with everyone else. Unfortunate.

 The funny thing is that the California lottery would be somewhat
 immuned to
 this kind of disaster as they actually use Hughes VSAT at every  
 single
 retailer.

 Sorry for the random thoughts...

 Uh, not exactly.  There was diversity in this case, but there was
 also N+1
 breaks.  Outside of a few counties in the Bay Area, the rest of  
 the
 country's telecommunication system was unaffected.  So in that
 sense the
 system worked as designed.

 Read the original DARPA papers, they were not about making sure
 grandma
 could still make a phone call.


 For a good man in the street perspective of how the outage  
 effected


 things like a pharmacy's ability to fill subscriptions and a
 university
 computer's ability to boot check out a couple of shows broadcast
 on KUSP
 (Santa Cruz Public Radio) this morning:



 Why didn't the man in the street pharmacy have its own backup
 plans?

 Why didn't the pharmacy also have a COMCAST or RCN broadband
 connection for
 alternative Internet access besides ATT or Verizon, a Citizens
 Band radio
 channel 9 for alternative emergency communications besides 9-1-1,
 a satellite phone for alternative communications besides local  
 cell
 phones,
 and a Hughes VSAT dish for yet even more diversity?  Why was the
 pharmacy
 relying on a single provider?  Or do it the old-fashion way before
 computers
 and telecommunications; keep a backup paper file of their records
 so they
 could continue to fill prescriptions?

 Why didn't the pharmacy have more self-diversity? Probably the  
 usual
 reason, more diversity costs more.  That may be the reason why
 hospitals
 have more diversity than neighborhood pharmacies; and emergency
 rooms have
 other ways to get medicine.  Maintaining diversity and backups is
 probably
 also part of the reason why filling a prescription at a hospital  
 is
 much
 more expensive than filling a prescription at your neighborhood
 pharmacy.

 Likewise, why didn't grandma have her own pharmacy backup plan.
 Don't wait
 until the last minute to refill a critical presciption, have  
 backup
 copies
 of prescriptions with her doctor, have an account with an  
 alternative
 pharmacist in case her primary pharmacist isn't reachable, etc.

 Readiness works better if everyone does their part, including
 grandma.

 Next time it won't be ATT, it will be Cox or Comcast or Qwest or
 Level 3
 or Global Crossing or  or  or  .  It won't be
 vandalism, it will
 be an earthquake, backhoe, gas main explosion, operator  
 error, 

 Everything fails sometimes.  What's your plan?

On a somewhat related note, does anyone here use open source packet 
shaping solutions?

I've only used Packeteer in production (enterprise environment), but I'm 
always on the lookout for good other solutions.

Right now, I'm using BSD-based pfSense at home, and that seems to be 
working great.  Others I know are just using OpenBSD proper and just

 Easy, the current Wimax MAC (802.16d and e) was designed for licensed

I'll have to admit believing some of the WiMAX hype until I heard this 
fact several months ago.

The only people I see taking WiMAX seriously are service providers and 
carriers, particularly those who want to preserve their spectrum.  They 
don't have to worry about competing noise because of their sole license.

In many of these cases, they are buying the equipment for little more 
than to preserve the right to do what they want on that frequency.

Is this what others are seeing also?

[WISPA] 5.9 GHz ITS

2009-04-12 Thread Rogelio
Has anyone here implemented the 5.9 GHz band for ITS (Intelligent 
Transportation Services)?

I'm looking at some projects that might be a good fit and have recently 
started researching vendors that do it, as well as some of the 
regulatory characteristics of the band.

[WISPA] STP for redundancy on two panels horiz/vert oriented?

2009-04-12 Thread Rogelio
Using a dual 5.8 GHz radio solution, could I conceivably give myself 
some sort of redundancy by doing the following:

--two 23 dBi panels, one on each radio
--on panel for horizontal orientation; the other, for vertical
--put a switch on both sides that supports spanning tree

I have LOS between these radios, and I'm assuming that it would be rare 
to have both polarizations go out at the same time.

Does this sound conceivable?

I would suggest OSPF bridging so you can use both of them as long as
they're working, if not then it just uses one.

I would concur with Josh. I would use OSPF and run the links  
unidirectionally that way in essence you get a full duplex link, but  
still have redundancy should a link go down.

Also, why use two antennas? MTI makes a nice dual polarized 23 dbi  
antenna.

Re: [WISPA] STP for redundancy on two panels horiz/vert oriented?

2009-04-12 Thread lakeland
That really only makes sense if the links will have asymetrical bandwidth 
shaping otherwise you are just wasting capacity. Run them in parallel and load 
balance them or use the second as a backup. 

And DP antennas would be a cost effective way to go and would guarantee 
polarity isolation. Balance the RSL levels on both links and you should be able 
to operate on the same channel depending on the radio's C/I ratio

Re: [WISPA] High Throughput Licensed vs. Unlicensed - change oftopic -- customers / AP

2009-04-12 Thread Tom DeReggi
No its not an unrealistic goal, if the business model is low margin high 
volume type subs.
There can be much less maintenance with building a business model on a 
smaller number of business subs, making it not necessary to get that much 
per sub.
For example, We'll sell 10Mhz of spectrum for $1000/month, to a single 
customer. Where that will only yield us $2000 per sectors, its also only 2 
customer and locations to support.

I will also say that in competitive served markets, its getting harder and 
harder to get 100 users on a AP, if in a market thats asking for 5mbps 
speeds, or  1mbps uploads.  Sure, I've gotten 75 users on a 3mb 900 
sectors, in an unserved market, but that is different that a market 
competing with Cable and Fios, for example, where users actually expect to 
be able to upload with bit torrent, and watch their NetFlix movies.

In my earlier years, I was sold on the fact that low ARPU subs was the 
better market, because if selling 1mbps services, the oversubscription 
ratios on 10mb sectors could be much much higher. However, I am learning 
that the High ARPU higher capacity business, with little over subscriptions, 
is proving more profitable.

Its also changes a bit, if wholesale markets are required. Sure if you are 
the only one in town, onme can stand firm on maximizing the return per 
sector, at $5K per sector.
But a reseller won't pay you $5k per sector, they'll building over you 
instead. Sometimes its worth getting much less per sector, using the 
reseller, instead of competiing with their interference otherwise.

 Hi,

 I think that's maybe a little high... we have a Canopy AP right now with
 100 users on it... about 10% business and 90% residential and it's
 probably bringing in about $3,500 / month. We will probably load it up
 to about 120 users total, at which point it will be around $4,000 /
 month.

 Which begs an interesting point -- how much revenue / AP?

 I would think $5k / month for a 20 MHz chunk of 5.8 spectrum,
 while a bit on the higher side, isn't an unreasonable goal

 Using Canopy...you have 14 Mb aggregate

 Selling for $50 / month residential -- that's 100 customers
 sharing 14 Mb
 Splitting between $100 / month business and $50 / month
 residential (for better traffic shaping) -- that's now

 20 business customers during the day time (8-5)
 60 residential customers in the afternoon / evening (4-12)

 Now obviously, there will always be places where you're shooting
 into a hole, or there aren't that many homes / business being covered,
 blah blah blah blah -- but I don't think $5k / month / AP is an
 unreasonable goal

 Thoughts? Comments?

 I'll just add that while we are trying to keep the numbers

 common wisp - either you guys have a lucky horse shoe or
 achieving a
 $5000/mo revenue on one ap is a bit outside the avg...  At least
 for
 discussion sake.  But - even at 1/5th of that your argument
 still holds
 true for the most part.  Its just that you add in 900mhz (not as
 common)
 and all the lower power 5Ghz spectrum available now, 2.4Ghz etc
 and also
 mention you can run MT stuff on 10Mhz channels and you just
 effectively
 doubled your options based on what type of clients you are
 servicing etc...
 Then theres radios that have GPS sync for spectrum reuse etc
 and the
 conversation starts to get a lot more complex :)

 But, in any case this has been an eye-opening discussion...

The newest version of Citel's outdoor protector is pretty awesome also.
Its a pretty close competition on whether the Canopy or Citel is better.
The Citel can be had at about the same cost, depedning on how buying.

 What have you guys found most cost effective (and it needs to work) for
 lightning protection where the cable enters an exterior wall?

 How much and where do you get them?  So far the motorola units seem to be
 the best I've seen for what you get and how they work...

 Also, if you don't mind describing the rest of the pieces you like to use
 I'm all ears...  (which type of ground wire / guage / how to attach to

If  they start to tear they can easilly blow off. But our lasted quite a 
long time.
Be prepaired for slight change to car's paint color behind the magnet sign.
But it was by far the best source of advertizing we ever did, and it was 
cheap.

We tried large trailer signs parked in key areas, but that did not do nearly 
as well, as signs actually on the work vehichles themselves, even though the 
work vehichle sign was 1/10th the size. Primarilly bcaue there is no cost to 
the vehichle signs, and they never stop working for you 24x7.

Re: [WISPA] High Throughput Licensed vs. Unlicensed - change oftopic -- customers / AP

2009-04-12 Thread Travis Johnson




Tom,

I think you are missing a BIG key that many ISP's (starting clear back
in the dial-up days) have missed. The best mix, use of resources, and
profitability comes from having high ARPU business customers AND
residential users. Why? Because the business customers use the
bandwidth from 8:00AM to 5:00PM M-F... while the residential users are
5:00PM to 8:00AM M-F and weekends.

As far as user counts go, we are about 90% residential and 10%
business... but as far as revenue it's probably closer to 80%/20% or
even 70%/30%. We sell a lot of residential wireless and yet our peak
bandwdith usage is at 10:00AM M-F... so I am able to sell that same
bandwidth again at night to the residential users.

There can be much less maintenance with building a business model on a 
smaller number of business subs, making it not necessary to get that much 
per sub.
For example, We'll sell 10Mhz of spectrum for $1000/month, to a single 
customer. Where that will only yield us $2000 per sectors, its also only 2 
customer and locations to support.

I will also say that in competitive served markets, its getting harder and 
harder to get 100 users on a AP, if in a market thats asking for 5mbps 
speeds, or  1mbps uploads.  Sure, I've gotten 75 users on a 3mb 900 
sectors, in an unserved market, but that is different that a market 
competing with Cable and Fios, for example, where users actually expect to 
be able to upload with bit torrent, and watch their NetFlix movies.

In my earlier years, I was sold on the fact that low ARPU subs was the 
better market, because if selling 1mbps services, the oversubscription 
ratios on 10mb sectors could be much much higher. However, I am learning 
that the High ARPU higher capacity business, with little over subscriptions, 
is proving more profitable.

Its also changes a bit, if wholesale markets are required. Sure if you are 
the only one in town, onme can stand firm on maximizing the return per 
sector, at $5K per sector.
But a reseller won't pay you $5k per sector, they'll building over you 
instead. Sometimes its worth getting much less per sector, using the 
reseller, instead of competiing with their interference otherwise.

Hi,

I think that's maybe a little high... we have a Canopy AP right now with
100 users on it... about 10% business and 90% residential and it's
probably bringing in about $3,500 / month. We will probably load it up
to about 120 users total, at which point it will be around $4,000 /
month.

Charles Wu wrote:

Which begs an interesting point -- how much revenue / AP?

I would think $5k / month for a 20 MHz chunk of 5.8 spectrum,
while a bit on the higher side, isn't an unreasonable goal

Using Canopy...you have 14 Mb aggregate

Selling for $50 / month residential -- that's 100 customers
sharing 14 Mb
Splitting between $100 / month business and $50 / month
residential (for better traffic shaping) -- that's now

20 business customers during the day time (8-5)
60 residential customers in the afternoon / evening (4-12)

Now obviously, there will always be places where you're shooting
into a hole, or there aren't that many homes / business being covered,
blah blah blah blah -- but I don't think $5k / month / AP is an
unreasonable goal

Thoughts? Comments?

[WISPA] Towers....

2009-04-12 Thread Bob Moldashel
Just wanted to post a quick plug here for Nello Towers.

If any of you guys or gals is considering buying a tower or towers you 
should consider these guys.  We have been installing tower stuff for 
years and and I can't remember the last time I didn't have to pull out a 
mag drill, torch, come-a-long, sledgehammer or some other tool or device 
to make a tower go together.  we just installed a 100' freestanding 
Nello NSX tower for a customer and every single hole lined up perfectly, 
the instructions were straight forward, everything was labeled and color 
coded, and there was even a box that said SPARE HARDWARE  Holy 
Crap!  Imagine that!!!  A freakin' tower dog's miracle moment. we put 
the tower together and hung it in one day without issue. And we were not 
short ANYTHING.

We have a second one to do and I can honestly say I am looking forward 
to it.

Now I have no relationship with this company and I don't make anything 
from them.  But I know what a nightmare putting some of these together 
can be like for someone with experience.  Can't imagine a novice trying 
it. Anyone looking for some fun should buy five 100' Super Trylon towers 
from Tessco and try putting them together with the instructions off the 
web site.  Took us 4 weeks especially when we realized we had all kinds 
of parts missing.  And the shipping was a killer because Tessco makes 
its own kits and crates each individual section in nice heavy wood 
crates.  10 sections, 10 crates. We had enough wood left over to build a 
4 bedroom house!  :-)

Just an FYI.

of you guys, but we buy a short extension cord, spread the male contacts
with a pocket knife and plug in two wall warts on each extension, label and
lay them neatly in the bottom of the cabinet with the power injector in

 Just take your company logo down to your local sign shop and tell them

 changes, and then they just print them out and stick them on.

 We have all of our company vehicles marked... and we actually generate

 Using Canopy...you have 14 Mb aggregate

 Selling for $50 / month residential -- that's 100 customers
 sharing 14 Mb
 Splitting between $100 / month business and $50 / month
 residential (for better traffic shaping) -- that's now

 20 business customers during the day time (8-5)
 60 residential customers in the afternoon / evening (4-12)

 Now obviously, there will always be places where you're shooting

 unreasonable goal

 Thoughts? Comments?

That brings up a whole new point that I had never considered 

How many more users can you put on an AP if you are NOT providing VoIP
services that you have to support? It would seem you could make up any
profit on VoIP by being able to add a few additional users to an AP
that you couldn't before... :)

Tom,

I think you are missing a BIG key that many ISP's (starting clear  
back in the dial-up days) have missed. The best mix, use of  
resources, and profitability comes from having high ARPU business  
customers AND residential users. Why? Because the business customers  
use the bandwidth from 8:00AM to 5:00PM M-F... while the residential  
users are 5:00PM to 8:00AM M-F and weekends.

As far as user counts go, we are about 90% residential and 10%  
business... but as far as revenue it's probably closer to 80%/20% or  
even 70%/30%. We sell a lot of residential wireless and yet our peak  
bandwdith usage is at 10:00AM M-F... so I am able to sell that same  
bandwidth again at night to the residential users.

There can be much less maintenance with building a business model  
on a
smaller number of business subs, making it not necessary to get  
that much
per sub.
For example, We'll sell 10Mhz of spectrum for $1000/month, to a  
single
customer. Where that will only yield us $2000 per sectors, its also  
only 2
customer and locations to support.

I will also say that in competitive served markets, its getting  
harder and
harder to get 100 users on a AP, if in a market thats asking for  
5mbps
speeds, or  1mbps uploads.  Sure, I've gotten 75 users on a 3mb 900
sectors, in an unserved market, but that is different that a market
competing with Cable and Fios, for example, where users actually  
expect to
be able to upload with bit torrent, and watch their NetFlix movies.

In my earlier years, I was sold on the fact that low ARPU subs was  
the
better market, because if selling 1mbps services, the  
oversubscription
ratios on 10mb sectors could be much much higher. However, I am  
learning
that the High ARPU higher capacity business, with little over  
subscriptions,
is proving more profitable.

Its also changes a bit, if wholesale markets are required. Sure if  
you are
the only one in town, onme can stand firm on maximizing the return  
per
sector, at $5K per sector.
But a reseller won't pay you $5k per sector, they'll building over  
you
instead. Sometimes its worth getting much less per sector, using the
reseller, instead of competiing with their interference otherwise.

SO i must assume your opinion of the product has changed recently...

Hi,

I think that's maybe a little high... we have a Canopy AP right  
now with
100 users on it... about 10% business and 90% residential and  
it's
probably bringing in about $3,500 / month. We will probably load  
it up
to about 120 users total, at which point it will be around $4,000 /

Etheric also provides service to most of the Bay Area as well as Santa Cruz

We were not impacted at all during this event.
