Hello KyWiFi, As someone who has many towers with 900 omni's ( and many years supporting them), this combo ( SR9 plus mikrotik/starOS/whatever) eliminates the desire to ever deploy an omni again.

Even with the advantages of licensed spectrum and cleaner noise floors, you are still talking about the disadvantages of having to maintain that data stream to a moving target, roaming between towers through widely varying signal conditions and low gain antennas on the customer side. Fixed applications don't have to deal with that at all, and it is possible to optimize signal strength to make it perform. My former partner in Vistabeam is the operations manager for a cell carrier, and I get to hear about all the issues on their networks. Suffice to say, they get to deal with a lot of the same problems we do, the problems are just a lot more expensive to fix. Hell, as far as I can tell the cellular guys are having problems just keeping voice operational on many of their networks! Just as a few of the guys on this list that I call regularly (Mac, Scriv, Marlon) and ask them how many times my conversations with them get cut off because of crappy phone service. They should get voice figured out before they try to deliver live video to a postage stamp screen on a cell phone. Matt Larsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brian Webster wrote: Matt, The cellular folks have been quietly improving their data network capability. Their biggest problem to date was the T1 backhauls from the tower sites. These were already loaded with voice traffic. In many markets there are aggressive programs underway to replace all the T1's with licensed microwave backhaul with much more bandwidth. Cellular has the advantage of cleaner spectrum and lower noise floors. It has been proven that they can deliver over the air rates necessary, once they fix the backhaul bottleneck they will be serious competitors. Remember they also get to leverage their already existing tower network. Sprint/Nextel even has the advantage of all that 2.5 GHz spectrum they just announced their WIMAX plans for. One of the major players for giving them wireless backhaul is FiberTower who just merged with First Avenue Networks. This gives them instant access to a lot of spectrum all over the US. While this may not be good news to most of the folks on this list, there is an upside. The telcos are going to lose a lot of business from them dropping those expensive $1200 per month T1 circuits to each and every tower site.that should effect some numbers for those guys.

Let me give you a little background. I have a 2.4GHz system running that covers most of my county. It is a mixture of 802.11 and TurboCell. The TurboCell provides back haul and service for long range clients, (3 miles), or for NLoS clients at short range. I use the 802.11 for short range, LoS clients (3 miles). This has worked well for us in the past, but, the increasing bandwidth demands are overloading our TurboCell back hauls, increasing noise levels are decreasing the usable range of our 802.11 AP's, (in one area we no longer deploy 802.11 CPE's at all, just TurboCell). I am now deploying a 5.8GHz Netstream system to replace my TurboCell back hauls. I am also looking into polled systems on 2.4GHz to replace my TurboCell CPE's and AP's. Netstream is my most likely choice here as well, but I am open to other polled systems on 2.4GHz as well. I have one PtP link using TurboCell with RF Linx 915UDC units to get thru a severe NLoS for a single user. This was a very expensive deployment and the average customer would not pay for it. I tested several 900MHz systems and found them wanting before settling on the RF Linx UDC's.. I now have several subdivisions, heavily tree infested, that want service. They will not accept large towers and antennas on each home, but they will accept a single large tower to serve the entire subdivision, so a 900MHz or less system for local distribution is the only reasonable option I can come up with. None of the existing 900MHz systems I have looked at will both provide 360deg coverage and adequate tree penetration using a single AP, and I can not justify 6 60deg AP's for a subdivision that might have 20 sign-ups total. Netstream using SR9 cards seems tailor made for this. Based on the expected ship dates for the SR9, I was expecting to begin testing the SR9/Netstream system in the next week or so and begin deployment by the end of this month. Now, it looks like I won't even be able to start testing until the end of May. Even getting a pair of the cards to begin testing with would ease my pain and that of the eagerly waiting customers I am really getting up against the wall here. My time is running out and I must find my answer soon.

[WISPA] Can you believe it?
Hello, Can anyone get these people to acknowledge what WISP's have done? Or are we really the ugly stepchild?? Barry This is from The Jeff Pulver Blog at: http://pulverblog.pulver.com/archives/002817.html September 09, 2005 VoIP: Proving to be Effective in Katrina Emergency Special thanks to Jim Kohlenberger of the VON Coalition for maintaining the following list of stories. According to Jim, This is a summary of some of the ways the IP Communications industry is responding to Katrina (largely based on news stories and company releases). It turns out that the ability to set up VoIP services on the fly, from any network, has proved to be critical in an emergency. The industry has stepped forward to help FEMA, the Red Cross, and the Army communicate, to help connect the refugees in the astrodome, to help field calls for telethons, to help first responders communicate, to help connect hospitals who are disconnected, and to help utility workers working to restore services communicate with each other. It is quite an amazing story, and I know it is just the beginning. If there are other stories you are aware of and would like to see included in this growing summary, please send me a paragraph, a news release, or any other background and I will share it with Jim. Also, please feel free to include stories from bloggers where IP Communications has been used to help. VoIP: Proving to be Effective in Katrina Emergency IP based voice communications are playing a critical role in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The unique mobility and decentralized aspects of VoIP are being utilized by FEMA, hospitals, emergency responders, for telethon call centers, and utility workers who are restoring service. VoIP Delivers Free Calling for FEMA, 1,000 VoIP Lines in the AstroDome, and Phone Service For Refugees. ATT is establishing IP-based calling centers where directed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to give evacuees and emergency workers access to free calling. The first of these centers is expected to be operational within a week. In Houston, ATT is working with Avaya, Cisco Systems and SBC to establish a communications network for refugees moved to the Astrodome. The coalition of VoIP companies will deliver local, long distance and Internet service to refugees. More than 1,000 phone lines, as well as a data infra-structure, will be available near the Astrodome. ATTs IP infrastructure will make Houston the hub for a VoIP network to support refugee camps throughout the region. (INFOWORLD, September 02, 2005) VoIP Being Deployed By Mobile Command Center For Fire, Rescue and Law Enforcement Agencies. In an area of vast devastation in Mississippi with no traditional phone lines, cell phone or public safety radio services, F4W has established a VoIP network to provide critical communications for relief agencies and a lifeline from the disaster area to the outside world. The Tactical Wireless Emergency Broadband (TWEB) network set up by F4W will provide secure wireless Internet and VoIP service over several miles to Mobile Command Centers and vehicles from fire, rescue, and law enforcement agencies. The network utilizes Motorola, Tachyon, and Panasonic equipment as well as F4W control software and network devices. (Source: VoIP Magazine, Thursday, 01 September 2005) Internet Telephony Keeps Baton Rouge Hospital In Touch. Baton Rouge General Hospital, who still had a broadband connection after the hurricane but no long distance, called up Vonage and asked for help. Vonage helped them get set up with VoIP so the hospital can dial out of Baton Rouge. The hospital ultimately used nine voice-over IP converters and wireless-enabled laptops with VoIP software installed for long distance communications and to set up a public branch exchange for communications within the hospital and sharing patient data. (Government Technology, Aug 31, 2005, By Corey McKenna, http://www.govtech.net/magazine/channel_story.php/96493) Satellite Based VoIP Helping Put Utility Repair Crews In Touch To Restore Service. Siemens Enterprise Networks is working with a power utility in Mississippi that has been sending repair crews into the field with voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones to make wireless calls via a satellite network. The VoIP system has been the main means of voice communications for utility crew supervisors in the field. In this case, Siemens acted as integrator to arrange for satellite network bandwidth, allowing the users to connect to a Siemens IP-based voice switch in Atlanta. With the Siemens VoIP phones, the workers can make five-digit calls over a familiar device to co-workers without needing special codes for the satellite links.(Source: ComputerWorld, Telecoms face 'one big mess' in US Gulf Coast region, Matt Hamblen, Sept, 2 2005) Rapid VoIP Deployments Help Get Emergency Phone Services Up and Running.

What has not been covered as extensively in the MKS592 media is the lack of communications at dozens of rural MKS592 Louisiana shelters and the efforts of Wireless Internet MKS592 Service Providers (WISPs), which use unlicensed spectrum, to MKS592 address this problem. MKS592 Earlier this week, such stories were featured at a MKS592 Capitol Hill forum sponsored by the New America Foundation and MKS592 the Congressional Future of American Media Caucus. Rep. Diane MKS592 Watson, D-CA, bemoaned the lack of telecommunications MKS592 services after the storm and said that it pointed to the MKS592 serious failure and the lack of preparedness in our nation's MKS592 telecommunications policy. New America Foundation Vice MKS592 President Michael Calabrese added, It is simply not MKS592 affordable anytime soon to be stringing fiber lines to rural MKS592 areas, but wireless networks can provide broadband MKS592 communications services very quickly and inexpensively. MKS592 As New Orleans is being evacuated, thousands of MKS592 evacuees are streaming out into the countryside where churches MKS592 and communities have set up shelters to take care of them. MKS592 Unfortunately, many of these shelters lack telecommunications MKS592 service. Responding to this need, dozens of rural WISPs have MKS592 poured into rural Louisiana to help out. MKS592 As of midday Thursday, WISPs were providing service MKS592 to more than 1,100 evacuees at the following shelters: Mangham MKS592 Baptist (Mangham, LA), Delhi Civic Center (Delhi, LA), Baskin MKS592 First Baptist (Baskin, LA), Grace Fellowship (Baskin, LA), MKS592 River of Life Church (Winnsboro, LA), Tallulah Community MKS592 Center (Tallulah, LA), and Parkview Baptist (Richmond, LA). MKS592 The following shelters were also expected to get service by MKS592 the end of the day: King's Camp (Mer Rouge, LA), Richland MKS592 Baptist Encampment (Alto, LA), Antioch Baptist (Rayville, MKS592 LA), and Archibald Church of God (Archibald, LA). snipped. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

Re[2]: [WISPA] Back to the hurricaine......A time to focus
Hello Mark, Excellent post Mark, I think a database should be put together that can list what is available and what people can bring into a situation like this. For example- 2 installers plus bucket truck (30 foot height) Tower climber w/ safety equipment- up to 200 foot structure 2.4ghz 24db grid antennas Breezecom radios AP10/WB10 pair Gas Generator model xyz etc etc. I got thinking about what we could do here in Mid-Michigan, and as long as the right structures are standing I could go 100 plus miles with some decent bandwidth. I think the idea to setup VOIP outside the damaged areas to help people get communications to the outside world would be extremely important. Something that FEMA and other agencies will not be putting high on the list at this stage since rescue is still in place.

Re[2]: [WISPA] Filing for FCC form 477
Hello Jeromie, First, I'm with Mark on this issue. This form sucks lemons. But on to the article, I see no reason why I need to submit to a city if I wish to send video over my system. I am an information packet sending service. What business is it of theirs? Who cares what is in each packet. The whole franchise thing, IMNSHO, should be a dead issue (like telco monopolies should be) since many companies NOW want to build out systems. Back in 1960whatever I can see why a franchise would have been needed to help the cable company bring in video. But those days are over. If I stream video who cares.. Oh they want a cut of the business but not provide one iota of risk or effort to make it work. I think that is the definition of parasite. A better solution would have muni's building open systems that anyone can access, who cares what info is being sent to the customer. Hell, I want to build a head end just to be able to stream 100 channels of video to my customers. Sheesh its just MTV, go shoot me..

That forced us to look at marketing/selling to people in the country though. I'm not price warring with them. We also are firming up our pay if not our equipment service calls.

Again, the endpoints are only a couple miles apart. [newbie mode ON!] Is solar flare activity really sufficiently random that this is plausible? With clients on the same frequency, and so relatively close together, I'd expect any really broad-scale interference to knock them all off at the same time, instead of just doing so randomly.
