[WISPA] Panel suggests state leases extra ETV capacity to two wireless companies

2009-05-28 Thread Christopher Hair
Interested in thoughts or comments on this issue and how it may affect WISP
in South Carolina. Any other states attempting similar wireless projects?

Re: [WISPA] Ethernet Cabling

2009-05-28 Thread Matt

 But a couple things to note...

 Shireen outdoor shielded cable is less expensive (or equivellent) in price
 to regular plenum CAT5.
 Shireen cable is also almost as easy to work with, as regular CAT5.
 Shiren cable is thin, and the right diameter to fill up most small hole
 passthrus (such as StarOS/Lucaya size)
 Shireen cable is UV rated, so it last in the heat.
 Shireen cable is shielded, for good RF protection.



Where do I get it?

Re: [WISPA] Panel suggests state leases extra ETV capacity to two wireless companies

2009-05-28 Thread jp
Based on the article it appears they are just looking to lease that spectrum 
for cash. 
Sounds fine to me, as it's what the feds have done for years with their 
spectrum.
I bet many states sit on unused or underused spectrum that could utilized for 
commercial 
purposes. I prefer unlicensed, but they probably don't have the authority to do 
that to 
this spectrum.

I'm sure there is some marketing disinformation about coverages and promises, 
etc.., but if 
the state went through a transparent process to find these bidders, it sounds 
fair.

ETV is probably an antiquated system that can or has been replaced with digital 
TV or 
videoconferencing over existing Internet service to the places where it is 
needed. All that 
spectrum has probably been tied up for 15 years so a few people at each school 
could watch 
an hour or two a week of class from somewhere else. Not saying it's not a good 
educational 
tool, but it's a trademark of government inneficiency.

Thats a good comparison Tom.
Couple things I should note, which I thought about after I posted.
I live in the Pac North West, not the South West, Arizona Nevada or 
Texas. I'm not sure blue cat 5 would stand up in outdoor situations 
there when it is exposed to the hellacious sunlight there.
And when I run my cat 5 I try my best to hide it so it looks good. Like 
on the underside of eves and the backside of the fascia board, behind 
down spouts and gutters. those places do not generally get much sunlight.
And it's rare that I do an exposed roof run.

I really can only comment on my experience. I'm sure things are 
different in other parts of the country.

[WISPA] Alvarion Tech support

2009-05-28 Thread Cameron Kilton
I just got of the phone with Alvarion Technical Support. 

I was asking to get a copy of the 5.5 firmware for VL. They said I had
to wait for it to be available on the website. I thought they were
joking at first but I guess not, they said it would probably be
available Monday.

If you have a copy please send it along.

 Michael,

 I see my last post was redundant to some comments others already made. But
 to answer your question...

 We use Superior Essex for critical infrastrucure. We use Shireen cable
 (allrfcables.com) for all other.
 Its depended whether you need a .45 dia cable or .18 cable, based on the
 hole size of the radio pass thru.

 Note the Mohawk is awesome cable from a durabilty and cost perspective.
But,
 we found it was to hard to work with, to put on the CAT5 ends. It required
 use of a dremel to grind off the outer cable.
 The Superior Essex did not have that problem, which is why we migrated to
 it.

This was discussed on this list as recent as 3-10-09 in the Easy Ethernet
up the tower thread, but here ya go again...


Run a 25pr CAT5 cable (or two if you need) up the tower and then break it
out into a punch down inside a NEMA4 enclosure on top.  I believe Mohawk,
Superior Essex or both have armor jacketed outdoor cable for this purpose.

Each 25pr cable is the equivalent of running six individual CAT5 cables.
(plus a spare pair)

Punch down the cable in patch panels on both ends using the following color
code and you're good to go.

Thanks Brad.  I remember that thread, and I just re-read all the posts that

2009-05-28 Thread Brian Rohrbacher




The only problems I have had in 5 years is cable wearing through
because it was not tied on properly and power supplies and ends going
bad because water dripped into then. I've never seen water hurt a
cable, even a cut cable. It only hurts the ends. I have had cables
get water in them so I make a cut at the bottom of the drip loop and
then the water does not damage any more ends and power supplies, it
simply drains out.

Re: [WISPA] Tower Cat5 Bundles WAS: Re: Ethernet Cabling

2009-05-28 Thread Brad Belton
Hello Mark,

We've been running cable like this at several HUB sites for more than 5
years now.  We do have lots of lightning and storms here in North Texas and
have either been extremely lucky (not likely) or our installation methods
have been satisfactory.

PoE hasn't been an issue over 25pr CAT5 cable.  Keeping the pairs together
IS important, meaning don't split a pair apart no different than you'd split
a pair apart in a single CAT5 cable.  We take the leftover Slate Colored
pairs out of each master bundle (e.g. the White-Red-Black-Yellow-Violet)
and use them for the sixth CAT5 cable.  We have not seen any Ethernet or PoE
problems with this Slate bundle for the 6th CAT5 cable.

So for example, in the White bundle punch down the Blue, Orange, Green and
Brown pairs just as you would normally in your panel.  Then move on to the
Red bundle, etc, etc.  You'll be left with:

White bundle Slate pair (punch down as your 6th CAT5 cable Blue
Pair)
Red bundle Slate pair   (punch down as your 6th CAT5 cable Orange
Pair)
Black bundle Slate pair (punch down as your 6th CAT5 cable Green
Pair)
Yellow bundle Slate pair(punch down as your 6th CAT5 cable Brown
Pair)
Violet bundle Slate pair(Unused Spare Pair)


In the NEMA4 enclosure topside we punch the 25pr down into something like
this.  One of these will handle two 25pr CAT5 cables.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Cat5e-12-Port-Wall-Mount-Patch-Panel-Cat-5e-W-Bracket_W0
QQitemZ130306652481


I'm not a master electrician, but I don't see how one cable vs. several
cables would pose a greater lightening risk.

Best,


Brad

 Sounds fine to me, as it's what the feds have done for years with their

 I bet many states sit on unused or underused spectrum that could utilized for 
 commercial

Most likely, at least not without federal approval.


 
 
 ETV is probably an antiquated system that can or has been replaced with 
 digital TV or

Right. And that's the beauty of freeing up spectrum for wireless use. IP 
based services will make for massively more efficient use of it.

All that
 spectrum has probably been tied up for 15 years so a few people at each 
 school could watch 
 an hour or two a week of class from somewhere else. Not saying it's not a 
 good educational 
 tool, but it's a trademark of government inneficiency.

Indeed.  Which is why the spectrum inventory bill introduced recently 
should get our support.

Re: [WISPA] Magento Commerce

2009-05-28 Thread Dylan Oliver
Haven't used it in production but did look through enough of the code to
convince me that it's the best PHP commerce system I've seen. And it has a
real API, which counts for quite a lot in my book, as x-cart et al are NOT
designed with any such foresight. I'm looking forward to integrating it with
Symfony (PHP framework) as a plugin.
All the code aside, it just *looks* really snazzy compared to x-cart et al,
which again make me throw up in my mouth.

[WISPA] problems with cisco 7200 and PA-T3

2009-05-28 Thread Adam Goodman
Just installed a cisco 7204vxr with a DS3 interface. we are not getting more
than 5Mbits.

show interface is not reporting any errors. the provider tech put a piece
test equipment on the circuit and sees errors.

Does anyone else use a cisco 7200 with a DS3 interface that we might be able
to speak with?

Please hit me off list

Thank you,

We have a couple of production servers and it's quite refreshing :)  Very
easy to set up, very easy to customize, rock solid performance.

Try the c-nsp list, and be prepared for a backlash for that question
on NANOG. ;-)

I just got of the phone with Alvarion Technical Support. 

I was asking to get a copy of the 5.5 firmware for VL. They said I had
to wait for it to be available on the website. I thought they were
joking at first but I guess not, they said it would probably be
available Monday.

If you have a copy please send it along.

I played with it for a while.  It looks pretty solid as I recall.  There
was something missing that I needed (can't recall now what that was), so
I abandoned it pretty early on in my testing.

Good, they need a distraction from the 120v/240v thread anyhow.
