Re: [WISPA] Preliminary analysis of BTOP/BIP applications

If it's a long flight they could burn some internet to a dual layer DVD.  

But I thought Bill Curtis already found the internet on the plane with his
ATT netbook and the ATT G4 network???  I was SURE that's what he told me.

Yeah for that much they could put the Internet on a disk and take it

[WISPA] Vendors eating their dogfood (was Re: Which WiMAX Are You?)

2009-09-11 Thread John Valenti
This is one of the reasons I like StarOS so much. The developers also  
run a WISP in their ski town (about 300 customers a few years ago, I  
think)
Much more believable when they said do it this way and it works, I  
could trust them.

Are there other wireless companies that do this?

Depends what you mean by Vendor.  Manufacturer or Reseller?

As a reseller/distributor we built from the ground up a 7,500 subscriber
WISP with over 130 tower sites (Mesa Networks located out of Frederick, CO).
We only sell gear we have personally used and deployed, and know how it
actually performs in the real world.

It has been a year and a half since we sold our WISP, but we are still very
active in the field deploying gear for our customers

Re: [WISPA] Vendors eating their dogfood (was Re: Which WiMAX Are You?)

2009-09-11 Thread Bret Clark
I don't buy into that model at all! Vendors need to focus on the product
they are manufacturing and work with their customers to ensure that they
are manufacturing what is needed and works as expected. While at first
it seems like a good idea eventually trying to be everything to everyone
causes a vendor to lose focus or divert resources in ways that normally
would be used on product development. 

When I was in the development side of the house I had key customers whom
I could trust with their knowledge and insight to deploy and guide our
beta products so that a released product would performed as expected.
If you try doing this as a vendor/deployment then you become too
mi-optic in your views.  IMHO

Re: [WISPA] Vendors eating their dogfood (was Re: Which WiMAX Are You?)

2009-09-11 Thread jp
Certainly, having engineers visit WISPs is important. I have appreciated 
visits from a couple vendors and I'm sure they have learned a lot too 
visiting various ISP customers. There is no replacement for this. I have 
seen some suggestions make it into products from multiple vendors we 
work with. I'm sure I wasn't alone in some of the suggestions. 

Unfortunately, many WISPs are not that advanced and can not adequately 
test that many features that some systems offer due to time or skill 
constraints. Most WISPs are learning as they go. I have one mature 
vendor who says nobody has asked those type of questions of them 
regarding a product I had just installed. Another vendor has some very 
cool features that we haven't figured out in 10 years of tinkering, but 
we are welcome to contact their engineers for advice in applying this to 
our situation. WISPs and manufacturers both run the gamut for their 
talents. This why lots of bad/strange stuff makes it past beta, and also 
why competent distributor/sellers can be of value.

Actually doing WISP work could help the vendors better describe NLOS, 
the potential folly of customer installed CPE (zero truck roll 
deployment), total cost of installation issues, aesthetic issuse (think 
the original trango 900 gear (model 915 I think)), product integration 
with open source software for programming and management, support 
techniques, troubleshooting (ubnt bullets had a 30 sec delay for signal 
quality LED updates at first) , Software reliability (thinking MT's 
software might be better if they had to fly to site or climb a snowy 
mountain in the dark to fix a memory leak or ethernet driver)

Then there's the issue of credibility improvement. Compared to cars 
again, All the big car execs fly around in gulfstreams or are 
chauferred. When one actualy drove a car they made to Washington DC 
during the bailouts it was big news. A laborer for the same company 
would also not drive a Porsche to work at a Ford/Chevy/Chrysler plant.

 This is one of the reasons I like StarOS so much. The developers also
 run a WISP in their ski town (about 300 customers a few years ago, I
 think)
 Much more believable when they said do it this way and it works, I
 could trust them.
 
 Are there other wireless companies that do this?

[WISPA] 2.4 Sectors (re-hash)

2009-09-11 Thread Jerry Richardson
I put up some PacWireless 17dBi 90deg sectors and while I am pretty impressed 
with the performance, chatter on the list tells me we could have done better.

What are your recommendations in the $400-500 category for 60 or 90 deg V Pol 
sectors for better performance?

Re: [WISPA] 2.4 Sectors (re-hash)

2009-09-11 Thread Josh Luthman
One thing I have noticed with our 120 degree Pac antennas is that signal
strength VERY wide but don't go out very far.

With customers north east, you expect to hear the north and east radios.  In
my recent example they were -65.  On the ones close enough, I actually see
the one pointed the opposite direction (labeled south for simplicity) at -85
or so.

I will give it credit, though.  The Trango AP (integral 60 degree antenna)
seems to reach out as much as the 120 Pac in my situation.

Re: [WISPA] licensed links / distance / bandwidth

2009-09-11 Thread Brad Belton
Hello Marco,

In our neck of the woods 6Ghz is about all you can use at that distance.
Typically 6GHz is only good for about 155-170Mbps, but I have read about
some faster radios.  Given 6GHz only gives you 30MHz channels I assume these
faster 6GHz radios are using two 30MHz channels to reach beyond the
170Mbps ceiling.  Problem you may run into at that point is finding two 6Ghz
channels available in or near a market as large and noisy as DFW!

If 160Mbps+ is enough bandwidth for you then I'd look at the Trango
GigaLINK.  So far all our licensed Trango gear has performed well.

Best,


Brad

Yep...I got that Exalt email too, but exactly how?  Multiple channels?  The
email didn't include any details.  Is it a true 1Gbps FDX or 500Mbps FDX?
Not that 500Mbps at 6GHz is anything to sneeze at...

Or is it VaporWare?

 Hello Marco,

 In our neck of the woods 6Ghz is about all you can use at that  
 distance.
 Typically 6GHz is only good for about 155-170Mbps, but I have read  
 about
 some faster radios.  Given 6GHz only gives you 30MHz channels I  
 assume
 these
 faster 6GHz radios are using two 30MHz channels to reach beyond the
 170Mbps ceiling.  Problem you may run into at that point is finding  
 two
 6Ghz
 channels available in or near a market as large and noisy as DFW!

 If 160Mbps+ is enough bandwidth for you then I'd look at the Trango
 GigaLINK.  So far all our licensed Trango gear has performed well.

 Best,


 Brad

Right, but the Exalt pitch is the radios bond within themselves.  No outside
equipment required.  

Bottom line is you'll likely need to be in a pretty remote area in order to
be able to find multiple 6GHz channels available between two points.

Well, duh ...aggregation of multiple radios...

We can all bond multiple radios to get to a certain speed.  Just
divide the total speed you need by 187Mbps and that's the number of
radios/licenses you need.

Exalt says only up to four links can be bonded.  So, it's similar to
DragonWave's claim of GigE radios.  Almost, but no cigar!

Last I checked 800Mbps isn't 1000Mbps...

Re: [WISPA] licensed links / distance / bandwidth

2009-09-11 Thread Tom DeReggi
Fastest and Reliable are two conflicting variables, and question cant be 
accurately answered without defining expectations for atleast one of them.
Big difference in distance between 99.9, 99.99 and 99.999%.
As well, if you use the DUO product lines, you can actually bond up to 4 
channels to increase the capacity by 4x, if channels are available and price 
is really no object.
Any frequency other than 6Ghz, you'd have to drop down to 99.9 reliabilty, 
and accept slower modulations.

Actually 18Ghz can do better than 11Ghz in some situations with low rain 
zone, because 18Ghz allows a bit wider channels and slightly higher power 
than 11Ghz.
But 18Ghz rain loss is still significantly worse.

The relevent question is whether its viable to put a half way point relay 
tower or not.  Two 14 miles links in series drastically increases your 
options, compared to just having one long 28 miles link, which pretty much 
restricts you to 6Ghz and the 6 ft minimum dish requirement.

But note that in your Greenville  rain zone, w/ 6ft dish and HC190 - 29Mhz 
channel, the DW tool still only shows 99.91% reliabilty.

This is why some have chosen to use expensive large channel Dual pol 5.8Ghz 
in remote environment that had the spectrum free.

Re: [WISPA] licensed links / distance / bandwidth

2009-09-11 Thread Marco Coelho
I've got fiber to my noc, but need a diverse path (and cheaper per meg
bandwidth).

Options:

Build fiber to Dalllas, at 43 miles that's pretty expensive (443K).
Buy/Lease Dark Fiber to Dallas (I know there is dark fiber in the
trunk along I30, but I am having a hard time finding out who owns it)
Set up Microwave links to Dallas.
  Since I own the towers between here and there, I can put very large
dishes up 'cheap'.
  I can shorten the hop to 21 miles, but that is to a tower I lease
space on, so the rent goes up.

Any help with any of the above would be appreciated.

[WISPA] wind jammer communications

2009-09-11 Thread sales
During our pole route scouting a route that we submitted to the electric 
company came back listing windjammer as being on the poles we are wanting to 
get on in a rural area. I looked and it seems windjammer ceased providing 
services in these and alot of other rural areas at the time of the digital 
transition.

Does anyone know if it would be of any worth to see about acquiring windjammers 
existing infrastructure in the rural areas that they stopped using? Anyone 
actively doing this? I am not sure if it would be worth pursuing but seeing 
that the infrastructure is in place already, just a wild idea.

We have bought a number of rural cable systems, and
almost every one was gutted, and the cable plant in almost
total disarray when sold.

It is certainly worth a call - but the attachment fees we found
being charged, (And often not paid for the past couple of
years, leaving an electric company trying to get paid from
whoever purchased it) were for the most part outrageous.  You
may have better luck.

We worked a deal out with the powercompany for back pole fees. It was
hard because our power company is a public entity and there cannot be
a discount because it would be a 'gift of public funds' to do so.

if your pole owners are a private entity, then negotiations should be
a little more fruit-full.

Re: [WISPA] wind jammer communications

2009-09-11 Thread sales

So was your deal with the power company based on wind jammer infrastructure? 
Can you tell more about this deal? Did you use existing copper or replace with 
fiber or go hybrid? Off list if you prefer. The owners of the poles is the 
electric company.

Thanks for any insight!

We worked a deal out with the powercompany for back pole fees. It was
hard because our power company is a public entity and there cannot be
a discount because it would be a 'gift of public funds' to do so.

if your pole owners are a private entity, then negotiations should be
a little more fruit-full.

Re: [WISPA] wind jammer communications

We took over the tower, scrapped what was left in the
head end, and turned the cable on the poles over to a
company that scrapped the cable.

The electric companies really had no dog with us in the end -
we acquired the assets of the companies, not the companies.

We only bought them for the head end towers.

Re: [WISPA] BIP / BTOP Applications are online

2009-09-11 Thread Tom DeReggi
My opinion is...
I bet there are fewer overlaps than we expect, when broken down into smaller 
census blocks.
But I bet that they'll pick the best one, and the others are out of luck.
But ones with just a few overlapping areas, they'll likely ask the applicant 
to just remove those areas from their applications.

Re: [WISPA] Which WiMAX Are You?

2009-09-11 Thread Tom DeReggi
Patrick,

Always great to see your list posts filled with good info. Responses 
inline...

 The E standard does enable use of diversity, but it comes at a high cost
 and is of limited benefit for rural operators. The truth is that
 diversity is designed to increase link budgets to support self-install.

Can you clarify? Are you saying D Spec does not support Diversity?
Or that most D vendors focusing on price chose not to include implementation 
of it?

Even most Wifi chipsets supports diversity.

My understanding was D supported diversity, because the early Pre-Wimax 
Aperto supported all types of Diversity.
Please clarify.

I'd like to add... I'd like to see more FIXED products support Diversity at 
the AP.
Trials have shown that Polarity diversity yielded much better results than 
Spacial diversity for NLOS. BUT, that data does not consider spectrum 
availabilty and congestion.
Many Metro deployments can't afford to waste a polarity, with limited 
spectrum and lots of noise, and forced to abandon the idea of Polarity 
diversity.
Spacial Diversity at teh AP is an enhancement that can be used without any 
trade-off other than Colo fees if can't avoid paying colo per antenna.
Actually in newer MIMO designs Spacial Diversity on its own showed 
signficant improvements in range.
This could becaome even more important in 3.65 with few channels.

 Basically, each standard has its place, E is for people in 2.5 GHz doing
 self-install, like Clearwire, and we all know the low service
 (especially low upstream) packages offered in Clearwire's service. D is
 better and cheaper for rural fixed operators, and especially for public
 safety video type networks and definitely for voice-centric users. D is
 better for enterprise, where many users sit behind the CPE. E is better
 for roaming individual users with modest expectations.

I'd agree. And I'd agree D is most appropriate for most WISPs.

I think the biggest factor in deciding though isn't technology specs?
People want to pick the technology with the longest life span.
Many WISPs might prefer D, but are afraid D might be discontinued sooner, 
since the big dollar might have followed E.
Just like is happening right now.
I think the number one factor that will lead WISPs to pick D is 
acknowledgement that Vendors understand and see the long term potential and 
MArket for D, so we can be confident about our vendors.
So far, I think the primary vendors have done a good job showing their 
supprot for D.

The other number 1 barrier to WiMax is price, so once again many have chosen 
D for price reasons.
But that is a fake benefit, because technically there is no reason that E 
product couldn't be sold just as Cheap if it came down to it.
If anything, E has the potential to drop to lower prices, because of economy 
of scale and diverse use for WiMax chipsets.

So what I'm saying is... Wimax E is killing themselves by pricing their 
products to high. Right now D has the potential to regain its market share 
because its price advantage.
However, one good way for E to protect its market share is to try and 
influence the discontinuation of D.
Thus important to support the continued development of D.

 This is one of the reasons I like StarOS so much. The developers also
 run a WISP in their ski town (about 300 customers a few years ago, I
 think)
 Much more believable when they said do it this way and it works, I
 could trust them.

 Are there other wireless companies that do this?
