[WISPA] query for the list

[Chris Stradtman]

Hello all,

This may not be the right place for this query, but if it's not I'm
hoping someone will point me in the correct direction.

I'm not actually a WISP, however on a regular basis I could use
service from WISPs.

We do network professional services for tradeshows and other events.
Many times I could really use a wireless backup link to venues that
just have one terrestrial link (or indeed sometimes we could use the
wireless as the primary link).  Typically these events need
connectivity for between 2 days and 2 weeks.  We're willing to pay for
up to a month's service even if we only need it for 2 days, however
for obvious reasons full year contracts are out of the question.  We
typically know months ahead of time where the location is (once and a
great while we will only get 2 weeks warning).  Bandwidth demands can
vary between 5M and 1G depending on a lot of factors.

Typically the information we would get would be something like

somebuilding
123 Anywhere Street
sometown, somestate X
bandwith = 10M burstable to 50M

for example.

My question is: Is this an appropriate place to post the requests, or
if not, where could we post requests to get exposure to potentially
interested WISPs??

We've found that just doing a web search for WISPs in the area and
repetitive phone calls to yield a close to 0 success rate.  I do
understand that not every WISP is going to be interested in this sort
of business.

Thanks in advance,

Chris Stradtman

Re: [WISPA] query for the list

[Chris Stradtman]

I didn't mean standard monthly rate. I fully expect these one offs to be rather 
lucrative for the ISP.  I just meant that legally we can't really commit to a 
year long install on a venue that we're only going to be in for a week or two.

Re: [WISPA] What is everybody using for alarms?

[Chris Stradtman]

Along the same lines…
Is there anyway to preload dude?
For example, If you already know all the IPs and community strings of all
the devices that you should be able to see, I would like to enter the info
directly in bulk (Usually several hundred devices)  and then use Dude to
monitor the deployment of the network…

Thanks,

Chris Stradtman

Re: [WISPA] pages not loading/displaying properly

[Chris Stradtman]

Are you natting/masquerading the addresses ??
If not, ignore the rest of  this reply.
If so, double check to make sure that something on the outside isn't
stealing from time to time just one of the external addresses used for nat.
I'm not sure what your architecture is like so this might be impossible,
however I've had this problem with a location where I was allocated part
of a subnet and one of the new customers put up a device that started proxy
arping for random other devices on the same subnet...

It's a long shot but check the looking glasses to make sure nobody in india

[WISPA] Grounding an Omnitik

[Chris Stradtman]

Hi all,

I've never used an Omnitik before for roof work.  We're trying out the
Omnitik + SXT combo in a location for roof to roof shots.
I've figured out the grounding point for the SXT, however I can't seem to
find a corresponding manual with that information for
the Omnitik.  Is it possible to ground the Omnitik locally or do we have to
do the shielded cat5 thing.  I'm also used to doing lightning suppression
between the antenna and the AP, obviously this isn't possible with an
integrated antenna setup.  Any additional pointers about lighting
suppression on these things??

Thanks,

Chris Stradtman

[WISPA] Question about ISM and UNII

[Chris Stradtman]

Folks,

I'm dealing with a situation in a structure where an incumbent cell carrier
is claiming full control of the
RF spectrum (if I understand correctly from  3
kHz to
300 GHz ). This claim is based on a
contract with
the buildings management company.  Currently they are not offering any
services in the ISM or UNII ranges,
however they claim that no other vendor can offer services in that range
without the express permission (
and a healthy chunk of all the revenues).  Has anybody dealt with this
before?? I realize that they are probably (one of) the
license holder(s) on record for the regulated cellular spectrum, but I
wonder if a contract with the venue can actually override
the FCCs licensing ( or lack thereof ) on the ISM and UNII spectrums space?

Anybody have any wisdom on this ??

Thanks,

Chris

this is actually inside a structure not on top… but I guess that still applies…

Re: [WISPA] Question about ISM and UNII

[Chris Stradtman]

Interestingly the property management company was  caught caught by the all RF 
line in the contract as they wanted to sell wifi and was told they couldn't as 
per the contract
They didn't understand the repercussions of the phrase "all RF" when they 
signed the contract.
It's also like a 20 or 25 year contract as well

Re: [WISPA] Can they really do this?

[Chris Stradtman]

This is a common "feature" available under almost all of the enterprise
market APs / wireless switch systems.
I would hazard a guess that there are probably several hundred thousand APs
in the world that already have this turned on and running.
Although I would also guess that in many cases the person operating the
wireless devices has no real idea of what it's doing.
It's just a knob that turned on because it was there ;-)

[WISPA] question for the group

[Chris Stradtman]

Hi all,

Most of my work is done inside so I don't really deal with most of the WISP
issues.

However I'm being asked by a client to do an outside install.  This is
likely to be in the 5Ghz range.

I've found a reference to

"Devices must be professionally installed when operating in the 5470 – 5725
MHz band"


I'm aware of avoidance of TDWR systems and the allowed and disallowed
frequencies in that band.

However, I can't find reference to what is meant by a "Professional
Installer".

Is there a licensing program that I can't seem to find by googling??

Thanks in advance,

Chris Stradtman

Chris,

I'm on an Asterisk mailing list where a lot of folks do this for a living.
 Would you like me to forward your request onto that list??

[WISPA] Request for information

[Chris Stradtman]

Hi all,


I've been lurking on this group for a while, and I seem to remember at
least one person in this group that is a lawyer that deals primarily with
licensed frequency issues. I have a few licensed frequency questions that I
would like to contract with someone to be answered.  If I'm misremembering,
please forgive me for spamming this mailing list.

If I'm remembering correctly, could that person(s) contact me off-list at
ch...@chrisstradtman.com


Thanks in advance,

Hi all,

Is anybody aware of any manufacturers making PtMP gear in the 70/80/90 ghz

I hadn't heard that, but that might explain why I can't find any then  :-)

[WISPA] Query to the group

[Chris Stradtman]

Hi Everyone,


I'm looking to this group to feel out the feasibility of an idea.

I'm working with a project that is looking at doing a sort of "analytics".
One of the possible things this would involve would
be paying WISPs to collect data on a particular SSID (this SSID would be
controlled by the project I'm working with, so this isn't going into
any gray privacy grounds).  The group would want to get the content of the
beacons seen with this particular SSID(s).  It could either be done through
vendor equipment that would support it, or it could be done via a passive
probe colocated with the WISP's gear.

I thought I would float this idea out to the group to see how it is
received.

Thanks in advance,

Chris Stradtman
