Re: [WISPA] Leaving the list
Ralph, From Canada, This is a list of people who did what no one else would do. You are a Johnny (excuse me Johnny O) come lately and want the rules that you have in your HAM world. We never had those, no RUS, no easy access to the FCC, no a whole lot of help, but bunch of losers got more done with the scraps from the table than anyone else. I did not see the HAM's going to the FCC and saying this is a good thing, you should help them. I see nothing but condemnation for the work we did, earthlink and the rest of the losers with their year 2005 wireless that is not profitable does not work, etc, etc. Good Bye people, Rick find another moderator for Canada, I'm gone. Scriv, Marlon, Johnny, and the rest of you Good Bye. Again WISPA general list is revolving around the Good ole United States.

My request is simply that our organization, WISPA, state its position on legal operation and the use of certified systems. It could be a position paper, a resolution, or anything else "official" that addresses this specific issue. Certainly changing and improving the FCC regulations is what we all want, but that hasn't happened. We have to work with what we have, not go around it because we think its wrong, or unfair, or stupid, or whatever. As many have said, it is a not a popular subject, but the FCC rules are a fact of life and WISPA needs to decide what it does or does not support.

There is now a head-to-head battle as the City networks are creating intense interference problems for the WISP network. I know all about interference-reduction techniques as I've been utilizing and teaching these techniques for years but what I don't know about are the possibilities of leasing licensed spectrum (2.3 or 2.5) in order to estimate the cost of moving from the 900 MHz band to a licensed range.

I don't think BIND can handle smaller allocations. You may have to

Re: [WISPA] MT Babble
Sam, Thank you, that is what I wanted to hear. If a "system board" is certified then the "operating system" is certified for "FCC" and of course your mini-pci was certified by the manufacturer.

It is NOT an intentional radiator which is what 15.201-221 addresses. A RB is simply a single board computer, the same thing as a soekris, gateworks or wrap board as well as most PDA (pre-wifi) and most laptops. The only intentional radiator is the miniPCI or PCMCIA radio that is put into the expansion slot of the SBC, just like in a laptop which has a PCMCIA and miniPCI slot where I can install wireless cards. I am NOT saying that with 100% certainty, the RB can be component certified, the question needs to be asked of the FCC. And this still leaves the fact that as far as I know none of the MT routerboards are even FCC part B certified. This also does not address the fact that you still would have to use certified radio/antenna pairs in the SBC once component certification was verified. Sam Tetherow Sandhills Wireless Dawn DiPietro wrote: Sam, Since some here feel I have no credibility because I no longer run a WISP I will let you decide from this information provided.

And you are right that then FCC makes the rules. What is not clear is that Dawn's (and others) position that the component rules can not apply to an RB or other SBC. The only people that can clarify this is the FCC. As for FCC certification in general, I think there are two major factors that come into play with uncertified gear. There are several that deployed the equipment under the false impression that it was legal because they complied with the EIRP rules (and many still persist in this belief). The other is the simple fact that no one has been fined, to my knowledge, for using uncertified gear. There have been instances of people that have been fined for using over EIRP and unauthorized use of licensed bands. If the FCC has not fined for the behavior yet and has made unofficial statements to the effect that they are more worried about EIRP and 477, it comes as no surprise that people will not follow the law. As you pointed out most people regularly break the speed limit, which is a law with an associated fine but they continue to do so because the fine is not large enough or incurred often enough to make it an effective deterrent. Sam Tetherow Sandhills Wireless Matt Liotta wrote: This has become a ridiculous thread. Dawn's customer experience is irrelevant in this case. Plenty of operators who have lots of customers (including me) understand and agree with the position presented. Don't kill the messenger! The FCC makes the rules; not Dawn or me or any of the other folks who have made accurate statements regarding certification. Use of certified equipment is required by law.

Well, the 150 is out, the tower is only 140', but the general question still remains.

He has been trying to do here what everyone has been "whining" at him to do but no one seems to want to listen to it. He has been trying to rally the members of this list and WISPA to stand up to what he feels is an unjust ruling by the FCC. He has tried to oppose it on several levels, from a "it's not fair to the little guy" standpoint such as you are attacking here, to a "it's not constitutional" standpoint which gets him called a paranoid anti-government crackpot. For the most part he has been answered by personal attacks despite his taking the high road in trying to argue the issues. People have even gone so far as suggest a limit on posting and that he has ruined the usefulness of the list. Yet it seems to me that both Jack Unger and Matt Liotta do understand the "unfair to the little guy" standpoint and have posted about it without all the uproar that Mark gets. As for me, I'm taking a pragmatic approach. I have utilized the deal that WISPA worked with Kris T and I plan to comply to the best of my ability with any legal subpeona. If what I am able to do is not good enough I'll fire the customer, which I assume will get me in trouble, be fined $10K a day and go out of business. I honestly don't see any other alternative for someone of my resources and I am sure there are plenty of us out here in this boat. Marlon can make all the guarantees about the FAQ he wants but until the law reads in agreement with the FAQ it is just a handshake deal with people from the FBI and FCC who don't have power to set policy anyway. If we were talking about POP agreements I don't think anyone on this list would think it would be acceptable business practice to rely on a verbal agreement for access to a tower, yet this is what the FAQ really is. I'm not trying to put down what the CALEA team did or that the FAQ is useless, but when non-compliance becomes an issue it is not the FAQ that is going to stand in a court of law, it is the CALEA rules and regulations. I for one agree almost 100% with everything Mark has said, but then again I am a right wing extremist crackpot who believes in much the same things the founding fathers did.

Mark, It is people like you who made your country and people like you who defended your country. Always remember why you stand your ground. I stood my ground, had to leave the country for my family's safety (An loaded Uzi (mine) and a baby diaper bag (my new-born baby) together, finally got to me. I have returned and almost cried when I saw what has happened and the apathy of the people (how can a black man say "life was better under the white man's oppression"). But they are "free" - does free mean you can make a cross on a ballot paper, but have no food to feed your family. So all of you stand up, remember why the rest of the world use to admire your country and desire to live in your country "where dreams do come true" Remember, how late your country came into WWII. The general populace were convinced by a few that it was not "their war". Then remember the anger after Pearl Harbour. Enough, I am rambling on a work morning.

I have no "equivalent" to a switched network. There you have it. We're putting my network your mouth is, folks. Continually, there is the statement that nobody will be requied to change their network. We'll see how true to their word the government is. Trusting government's word is THE definition of ultimate stupidity, but I have no other choice. My prediction is that those statements are only words, and it will ultimately be proven a total lie. Now, I HAVE a suggestion for LE for how to get information, and I'll be happy to help them do it, but my particular network simply has NO possible mechanism. I have spent weeks trying to figure some possible way to meet the definition of "compliance" but it isn't possible. Of course, this is of no help to the poor people who now face serious financial issues. I regret that WISPA refuses to officially go to bat for them. For that matter, I regret wasting WISPA's time. You fine folks are now reading my last post to anything related to WISPA and on any WISPA list. When WISPA turned it's back on the small people, and started insisting that defending right and good was no longer allowed by a "mature" industry, defining "mature" as being absolutely blind to issues of right / wrong or even recognition that government is overreaching, it lost my support. When it became downright hostile to the interests of us as people, it set up itself as something I am hostile to as a matter of principle. As one of our forefathers said, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Not just during speeches, not just as talking points during elections, but in EVERY aspect of our lives, be it religious, business, political, social, and educational. When hostility to the notion of defending ourselves against overreaching government is displayed for purposes of expedience or convenience or "ingratiating ourselves with those in power", then I cannot in good conscience support or be associated. Sorry. If principle isn't worth defending and upholding, it's not principle, just "public stances". I will never regret upholding principle, but I will certainly regret NOT. I have very much enjoyed some of the conversations over the many moons, the awesome character and generosity post Katrina displayed by so many, and some of the great people I've conversed with and some of the most fascinating and thought provoking discussions over the many months I have been here. A few years ago, I would have probably kept my mouth shut and just gone along. But no more. I have had more than enough. I decided that I will live, speak, and associate according to my best conscience. It applies even to my business and how I treat my customers. My first taste of this was when I turned down a job because it required me to violate my conscience. I was unemployed and utterly broke. Some thought me insane, but just days later I had a real job, with pay dramatically exceeding the one I turned down...and I got to live and work the highest ideals. Seriously, folks... It's been a fascinating ride, and I have no hostility to any of you, though we disagree or agree or dont' even understand each other. I'll be easy enough to find elsewhere... Just look for the fanaticly devoted wireless and freedom advocate, and I'll be there.

If I lose opportunities for use of spectrum then I can think of no better place than to those who are working to make our country safer and to help us when disaster strikes our lives. I do get frustrated sometimes when I see the opportunity for building robust IP networks which could offer both public safety priority access during time of need and general purpose wireless broadband when public safety was not using the band. Allowing top priority to public safety with secondary access for the rest of us would be a simple matter I believe and would offer a very efficient use of this quality spectrum asset. If we all had access to this spectrum then I know in my heart I would do all I could to help improve public safety and would easily give up access to the band in times of need as a condition of use of the band. I wish that had been part of the plan but that does not mean I do not support the interests of public safety. It only means I would have liked to be part of the plan. Especially when so many of us WERE part of the plan in the post-Katrina efforts where we delivered when many others did not. Rich, is the plan for public safety to use IP based communications in this band? If not then why not? What is the plan? Will other interests like private or muni broadband be able to use the spectrum when public safety is quiet? If not then why not?

I am aware of the problems revolving around the inability to talk to each other via voice radio. I would tend to agree that frequency coordination seems to be a terrible issue. The cited "reasons" for this was the 9-11 problems with coordination of emergency services, and NO hurricane problems. Nobody blew up the NO radio communications facilities. They just died because they lacked any means of self support when the power went out, and the phone and the agencies weren't talking to each other, and didn't seem to know who to talk to for what.That's just the outside perception, at least. Your outside perceptions are completely wrong. But as far as I can tell, this isn't about talking to each other, it's about building a digital network - IP based, perhaps? If you're not sure what the broadband network is for, how could you have already called the plan absurd? I'm still confused as to why we can't have fire department radios that can talk to the cops, ambulances, and whoever else. A lack of spectrum doesn't seem to be issue, rather it appears to be political boundaries between each department, and no mechanism to deal with widespread communications problems. Completely wrong. Cyren Call wanted 30 mhz to build a nationwide network.I'm just not cognizant of how this is going to somehow magically solve the problem with agencies having turf wars, and people either not following, or not haveing a rational plan for dealing with widespread disasters. I'm welcome to explanations of how things are going to improve with a national digital network that's subject to all the same issues as telco outages, broadband outages, etc, etc... ??? I wouldn't begin to know where to start to explain it to you. I don't believe you have any notion whatsoever of what the issues and challenges are of public safety communications that are being addressed. If you wanted to learn, you could start with the PSWAC report ... it's public and on-line. But what amazed me is how you conclude with no knowledge that the public safety broadband communications plans are absurd and can't possibly work.

Use Kayak.com to find your best room rate near here. There are two entertainment spots within 2 miles on International Drive: Pointe Orlando (http://www.pointeorlando.com/) and the Mercado. (There's a trolley available on International Drive, but traffic is so deep, walking can be faster). How about dinner on May 23 at Maggiano's Little Italy? After dinner there are many bars available in the Pointe Orlando complex. (On May 24 is ISP-CEO). Why attend the show? The exhibits and the education. Lots of case studies are being lined up for this one. Hope to see you there. RSVP for the dinner so I can save a private room.

You should consider if you really need that much harness, Tower harnesses are normally designed to keep the worker tied off 100% of the time (when used with the proper fall protection lanyards, positioning devices and safety climbing devices). That is the reason for the six D-rings on the harness, The back D-ring is for attaching a fall protection lanyard, normally a double lanyard with large ladder hooks for clipping to the tower. The front chest D-ring is for use of a cable grab that is attached to a safety climb cable permanently mounted on the climbing ladder on most newer commercial towers (not needed on most ham radio towers) And the four side D-rings are for positioning either using a positioning lanyard or re-bar hooks. one good feature of the exofit is the built in bosun's seat that really helps if you have to spend a long time in the harness. I personally use an Elk River Tower harness that I found in a Pawn shop for less than $80.00 and like it a lot. It sells new for about the same as the DBI Sala Exofit. If you do not need all the features of a full tower harness you may be better off going with just a full body harness with side D-rings. also there are some very nice harnesses made for rescue and entertainment rigging that would be worth looking at. Some companies to look at on the web are of course DBI Sala, Elk River, Miller, MSA, Petzl work solutions, Yates, Rescue Technology and CMC rescue. Petzl and Yates make some very nice harnesses that are used by friends of mine in the arena rigging industry Good luck with whatever you decide to go with and stay safe on the steel.

You know Patrick, I for the most part have respect for you and your opinion, but when it comes to this issue you are so blinded by it you don't even stop to think about your reply. I stated it that way because I have absolutely no idea if rabbtux rabbtux is in the US or not. It is a gmail account so it could be anywhere world wide. They stated that they were looking for something that would work with an MT/SR5 combination so I replied that if the sticker is not important (which it probably isn't since they are use an MT/SR5 as the AP) they could use a RB112 and CM9 with good result. I added on the fact that Tranzeo makes eqiupment that will meet their specifications and is FCC approved so that they (and others) know that there is certified equipment that meet their criteria. I will echo Mark's (?) comment from somewhere in the fact that in the certified realm there isn't much that comes close to the flexibility and power of either StarOS or MT. The problem with the "Premium CPE" is that it attaches to a Premium PROPRIETARY AP. The power of StarOS and MT is in the fact that the user is not stuck buying everything from a single manufacturer. If PCEngines EOLs a model of wrap board there is always gateworks or MT. If StarOS adds a new advanced routing protocol MT users can switch with only the change of an AP and gain the full advantage and in some cases they doesn't even have to change AP hardware. If Smartbridges equipment goes to crap you can change to Senao, if Senao EOLs a CPE you can switch to Tranzeo. In the "Premium" world if Trango decides to EOL a line of equipment or manufacturing quality tanks you are stuck with: 1. buy refurb/used equipment 2. hang dual APs to handle new growth 3. swap equipment around in your network so that vendor/product A is on the east side of your coverage area... 4. Replace CPEs with new line of product There is a LOT more to the certified debate than the fact that Motorola, Trango and Alvarion have finally gotten CPE price down to $200.

We block all P2P traffic (thanks to MT). I tell this to my customers upfront, it says so in our TOS in bold. We are running with a 3meg all you can eat fibre connection to the internet. The gov in Canada is trying to find a way to collect royalties from the ISP, who then will collect it from their clients, just like we collect their GST (general sales tax) and PST (provincial sales tax).

Device certification, as opposed to "system". It makes absolutely NO sense to certify a box with a 24 db panel, but object if someone needs to use a 21 db grid due to space or wind loading needs. Or vice versa. DEVICE certification let's there be 1000 innovators and developers figure out how to do do things better, and not incur huge costs for every tiny step along the way. So, if we use certified 20 dbm radio device, certified 16 db sector, then we have a 36 dbm system, do we not? This would do what we ALL want done, to know that what we buy is really what we get. This provides a solid basis and precedent for innovation and compliance in tv whitespace, etc. So you want to produce a radio that works at 4.9 ghz? Great. Certify it's behavior and let integrators use it however they wish. Why must the FCC care if the box it is in varies from deployment to deployment? This provides a great future framework for rapid innovation in wireless, be it unlicensed, low cost license, or normal licensed. It reduces the cost of compliance dramatically... and will have the effect of making enforcement workable and compliance both easy and cost effective without stifling innovation, or limiting it to the unimaginative like Motorola and Trango. The current regulatory structure encourages non-compliance... And the obvious lack of enforcement is tacit admission of the both the wrongness of the structure...and it's obvious problems. We SHOULD encourage both a framework that leads to compliance AND at the same time makes it no longer an obstruction to competition and cost-effective innovation. We need MORE integrators and builders, not less. We need to let ANYONE find creative ways to make a better mouse trap, not restrict to the biggest builders who then nail us with big dollars. This meets everyone's legitmate goals. It encourages outside the US manufacturers who want to build 100,000 radios to spread the certification costs among 100,000 units. Not 25 integrators each certifying the same radio with a different pigtail and antenna. WE need certified antennas that have patterns that are known good, so we don't deploy with bad patterns and ugly leakages. It provides a discipline for manufacturers. It lets a maker like Advanced Antennas or PacWireless focus on producing and marketing to the WISP community without having to try to get the same antenna certified 20, 40, 100 times just on different transmitters or even just different enclosures or connectors. Or a company like Ubiquiti have a legitemate place in the public marketplace to WISP's and not just a small handful of big dollar integrators. We need MORE suppliers, not less. More choices, not less. More options, not fewer, more innovation and minds creating, not less. THAT is how we as an industry can beat the dollars of the big guys.

The current trend in the WISP business is headed right towards the same debacle as the CB radio craze of the 70's? (I guess I am showing my age, LOL!). That problem ended because the spectrum was so wasted that You couldn't even talk to someone down the street, and cell phone and other communications technologies replaced the medium.

Sorry for the cross-post I am getting this report from dns reports.com: A timeout occurred getting the NS records from your nameservers! None of your nameservers responded fast enough. They are probably down or unreachable. I can't continue since your nameservers aren't responding. If you have a Watchguard Firebox, it's due to a bug in their DNS Proxy, which must be disabled (31 Jul 2006 UPDATE: several years after being informed of this, there is a rumor that there is a fix that allows the Watchguard DNS proxy to work). So with that result it appears you wouldn't be able to reach our mailserver, but as can be seen these lists do. The dns servers and other servers run thru our Mikrotik Gateway like this: incoming on "ether-b" sent over to "ether-d" where our servers are. "ether-a" is the internet gateway for our wireless clients and "ether-c" goes out to our wireless network. Now when I use dnscheck, I don't have the same problem. Reason for all this is that we seem to having problems with our mailserver's anti-spam. I think we are running into alot of "broken", ill-configured mailservers of which ours was one.

Re: [WISPA] Venice Project would break many users' ISP conditions

Carl A Jeptha http://www.jeptha.com 905-349-2027 skype cajeptha Dawn DiPietro wrote: Venice Project would break many users' ISP conditions OUT-LAW News, 03/01/2007 Internet television system The Venice Project could break users' monthly internet bandwith limits in hours, according to the team behind it. It downloads 320 megabytes (MB) per hour from users' computers, meaning that users could reach their monthly download limits in hours and that it could be unusable for bandwidth-capped users. The Venice Project is the new system being developed by Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström, the Scandinavian entrepreneurs behind the revolutionary services Kazaa and Skype. It is currently being used by 6,000 beta testers and is due to be launched next year. The data transfer rate is revealed in the documentation sent to beta testers and the instructions make it very clear what the bandwidth requirements are so that users are not caught out. Under a banner saying 'Important notice for users with limits on their internet usage', the document says: "The Venice Project is a streaming video application, and so uses a relatively high amount of bandwidth per hour. One hour of viewing is 320MB downloaded and 105 Megabytes uploaded, which means that it will exhaust a 1 Gigabyte cap in 10 hours. Also, the application continues to run in the background after you close the main window." "For this reason, if you pay for your bandwidth usage per megabyte or have your usage capped by your ISP, you should be careful to always exit the Venice Project client completely when you are finished watching it," says the document Many ISPs offer broadband connections which are unlimited to use by time, but have limits on the amount of data that can be transferred over the connection each month. Though limits are 'advisory' and not strict, users who regularly far exceed the limits break the terms of their deals. BT's most basic broadband package BT Total Broadband Package 1, for example, has a 2GB monthly 'usage guideline'. This would be reached after 20 hours of viewing. The software is also likely to transfer data even when not being used. The Venice system is going to run on a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, which means that users host and send the programmes to other users in an automated system. OUT-LAW has seen screenshots from the system and talked to one of the testers of it, who reports very favourably on its use. "This is going to be the one. I've used some of the other software out there and it's fine, but my dad could use this, they've just got it right," he said. "It looks great, you fire it up and in two minutes you're live, you're watching television." The source said that claims being made for the system being "near high definition" in terms of picture quality are wide of the mark. "It's not high definition. It's the same as normal television," he said. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

I have used a tr5a against an MT AP and no problems. I also use Tranzeo 6000 for AP's and really don't see them slowing down.

I'm starting the move to Alvarion, for many parts of my network because, Alvarion is offering me an improved "Time to Market" advantage, meaning a SOLUTION that best meets my need today.

Then summarise this and they will see that they are more responsible for this "HIPPA" thing than you or any other carrier is. Because as has been pointed out before, if the data is encrypted when it leaves the terminal, the rest doesn't really matter.

Re: [WISPA] Re: Fwd: Tonight: Join SavetheInternet.com on PBS
Gentlemen and Ladies of USA, You have a problem, that if you do not defend "Net Neutrality" no Nuclear device and no matter how big will protect you or I from what can and will happen. Believe it or not right now the rest of the world's democracy rest's in your hands. When Democracy is owned by a Corporation and not by the people (notice the word "owned") we will have trouble. I remember, years ago when a US citizen wanted to know who he to pay for the internet, because he believed that someone had to own it. I gave up after 5mins on dialup (14400 modem) to try and tell him that no one controlled the internet. You US WISP's will have to stop the assault, because I know that in Canada they will only rubber stamp the FCC. I feel sorry for you but the fight is now with you, because it is all quiet in the rest of the world, but I can guarantee you that if you loose the rest will follow suit, and quote " the USA did it, it must be the right thing to do" (meanwhile, everyone curses the Americans, until it will line their pockets, then the Americans are doing the right thing). Mr Upton should be led to the wall with a blindfold and shot for treason. End of Rant. Time for another beer before I fall asleep.

What better place to test than City Park. Its full of old tall oaks. From about two miles out I was seeing -75 signal and easily squeezing 2 megs up and down. I always see a lower upload on other gear but the 900 down and up always seemed to be almost the same. I have had many calls from a subdivision that was flooded from the storm and they still do not have bell or cable in there. I tried doing two houses in that subdivision without any luck with 2.4. Its loaded with trees. Well from my truck at these two locations I had no problem seeing a -72 signal. As I got a little closer to the pop maybe 1 mile I was seeing a -70 with still quite a few trees in the way and I was seeing four megs up and down This is where it seemed to peak out at. Like someone said its another tool in the tool box. Its just what I needed because while 2.4 will burn through some trees the 900m shots will do so much better.

Re: [WISPA] Tranzeo CPE alternative
I am having the problems with 6000 5a Tranzeos lately they seem to lockup or now the signal levels have dropped drastically at two locations.

RMA lead time is way too long though for me - 2-3 weeks to get one repaired and sent back. I do use the routing features, which could be what is causing the lockups. Not sure. Either way, I've been disappointed lately and need to get more reliable gear. I've had great luck with Tranzeo to this point - I'm not sure what has happened, but something has and as a fairly small provider, I can't afford truck rolls due to faulty gear. - Original Message - From: Mark Nash - Lists To: WISPA General List Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 11:52 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Tranzeo CPE alternative I've purchased about 70 of the CPQ's, and I haven't seen the kind of trouble you're having. Had to send 1 back because something was rattling inside of it. Tranzeo had one to me in two days (from Canada), cross-shipped, which I didn't have to ask for. I am not using the routing features, just the bridging. For an inexpensive CPE that can reliably go 20 miles, people are really happy that they are so small. I routinely get the question "That's it? That's all it is?" ...referring to the small size of them (even the 19db antennas). I wish they had a telnet or ssh management interface. That's a minus about them. My customer base is rural/residential/small business, so you can evaluate my comments accordingly.

Want to stay within that price range, but DON'T want to build a unit myself. Not that I'm not happy with the CPQ's, but I've had a run of bad ones (to the tune of 1 in almost every 10 pack I get in here) and just not sure what's going on. I just got word of a price increase on the CPE units also (not the CPQ's though). I'd also like to get something a little smaller in physical size than the Tranzeo's. Not that they are bad, but would be nice if they weren't quite such an eyesore. Again, that's not a huge issue though. Anyway, just thought I'd throw this out. I've considered Canopy, but of course, that's an entire network change. Just not sure if I want to do that, and not sure if it would be as financially economical as Tranzeo in the long run. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ No virus found in this incoming message.
