Re: [WISPA] American Dollar. Was: Re: Barriers to WISP growth

2009-10-09 Thread Daniel Mullen
I just cannot keep quiet on this any more.

Gold, in US Dollars, was $1045 and change this morning. That sounds  
high, but it was higher, in constant currency terms when you look at a  
basket of currencies.

Yes, oil still is priced in nice U.S. Dollars, and everyone is glad to  
have them.

So far, so good.

The folks in the Middle East buy German cars, use European adult  
personal entertainment, and go shopping - either in the sparkling new  
massive shopping mall in town, or again, somewhere in Europe - and the  
dollars get converted eventually into Euros.

I used to get 80¢ to the Euro. Now it is $1.46.

You can do the math on that.

As long as China continues to be the 'sister nation' to the United  
States of America, keeping its currency fairly closely pegged to the  
U.S. Dollar, then everything will be fine. All the Asian countries  
will do their best to work on U.S. Dollar terms so as to stay  
competitive vis-a-vis China.

But China is now sitting on TWO TRILLION - that is 2,000,000,000,000 -  
U.S. Dollars, and wondering what to do. If they wanted to take over  
the world today, instead of merely the entire Asia-Pacific region and  
Africa, they could simply cut the line and then let the U.S.A. dangle  
in the wind.

As it is, China is going around the world buying everything you can  
imagine: years worth of factory equipment from Germany, minerals in  
Africa, oil and gas everywhere, iron ore from Brazil, uranium from  
Australia, and on and on.

You should see the pictures: gigantic barges being loaded with  
enormous open spools of copper, a good ten feet in diameter, to be  
stockpiled in China, and more ore than you could possibly fathom.

And now they are buying gold: gold and more gold, and the government  
is telling its citizens to also buy gold.

Simply put, they are turning the greenbacks into hard assets.

None of this will bother you, because all your gear is made from parts  
which are priced in U.S. Dollars, and China is keeping a good lid on  
things - until they stop.

When the Sheiks - or Mr. Chavez - decides they want some pretty thing  
from Europe, and see how small their wallets are, the price of oil -  
yes, in U.S. Dollars - will go to the moon.

The fact that oil is priced in dollars really means nothing. It is the  
value that the producer gets for the specific volume sold that  
matters, and as long as the rest of the world is getting more  
expensive by comparison, the more dollars the sellers will want to  
ensure they can keep on buying those things, regardless of what the  
dollar buys for you in your own backyard.

By the way, milk is cheap everywhere now - in Belgium the farmers  
started to spray it on their fields rather than sell it, just to make  
demonstrate how low it has gone.

Re: [WISPA] Recommendations for Ubiquiti 3.65 site

2013-07-31 Thread Daniel Mullen

If this helps:

We are in Canada - spectrum license time: one week. Effort: one page letter.

There are three 900 MHz Canopy sectors and an 
omni serving at least 24 customers who are now on 2.4 GHz Canopy.


Currently the backhaul is on 5 GHz but this will 
need to change to support a ~300 Mbps link.


The site is on a hill with a 96' tower 
overlooking the coast, with all of the 30 or so 
2.4 GHz customers being inside of 1000 yards, and 
perhaps a few more up to 2000 yards away.


My plan was to put up two Titanium base stations, 
each with a 90° antenna of unknown source as of 
yet, and to put up to 24 customers on each sector 
to offer an upgrade to either 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps 
connections. These are existing customers, so it 
would be free radio rental and free installation 
in return for 24 month contracts.


I would be more than willing to deploy something 
like the PMP450 or Runcom LTE stuff, but we need 
to do this in the next couple of weeks.

Re: [WISPA] Recommendations for Ubiquiti 3.65 site

2013-07-31 Thread Daniel Mullen
It may come to that, but all of our back haul 
links are 5 GHz and it was always intended to be 
kept 'clean' for this purpose. If we could count 
on using the 3.65 GHz for backhaul it would mean 
switching the links on ~20 towers but help us get out of the 2.4 GHz mess.

Bryce,

I thought you wanted a 38 GHz unit - the 24 GHz antenna would be a -26 model, 
and you could pair it up with a Canopy radio or anything else of course.

Re: [WISPA] small 24GHz radio

2014-10-23 Thread daniel . mullen
Canada licensed 400 MHz from 24.250-24.450 GHz plus 25.050-25.250 GHz, so it is 
pretty much harmonized along the lines of the U.S., but the unlicensed 24 GHz 
band came along later.

The result is that if Bryce wants to go with unlicensed, he does not need dual 
polarity here, but he does need at least 33 dBi antenna gain. 

He has told me since that he wants to use unlicensed, so now we are looking at 
a different situation, because you cannot even get the valueline antenna in the 
lower 24 GHz.

Re: [WISPA] small 24GHz radio

2014-10-23 Thread daniel . mullen
Commscope - the parent company - has a focus on carrier and system sales, so 
the unlicensed gear is not really interesting for them at this point, and thus, 
no product in the lower 24 GHz band.

It is a better idea we get higher throughput with better modulations instead of 
simply grabbing larger pieces of spectrum. We cannot make ever larger channel 
sizes without running into problems!

[WISPA] Mimosa versus AirFiber versus Cambium PTP650

2014-12-16 Thread daniel . mullen
Hi -

I am looking to hear from anyone who has tested the 5 GHz Point to Point 
products from Mimosa, Ubiquiti, and Cambium and see what are the clear 
advantages of these versus one another.

Thanks!

The new logo and the new positioning cost money.

That said, if they want to 'go pro' and chase the higher end of the market, it 
IS time that they provide true specifications rather than very best case 
scenario 'two-way traffic' numbers as being the transfer speeds. If I showed 
that to an engineer at my former employer he would toss the flyer over his 
shoulder - '2 Gbps air but a 1 Gbps copper interface, nonsense!' and that would 
be that.

It is okay for long-time UBNT users who understand they need to interpret the 
numbers, but it is not how you ever break into the carrier market.

If it is the same as with us, it is because the air has *less* moisture in it 
overall. Most of our links are within sight of water.

For a snowflake to form you need six water molecules - that is what gives the 
shape to each snowflake - and they continue to form as they go. On a really 
crisp, clear day the air is incredibly dry such that the links are just 
perfect. We see that on our Trango links.-

Re: [WISPA] AeroNetPR wants to share this story

2014-12-17 Thread daniel . mullen
At the air interface there is not much difference between WiMAX and LTE, and 
WiMAX had better characteristics for power consumption and other 'greenfield' 
factors, but LTE was the pathway for GSM operators, so almost all of the mobile 
operators in Europe committed to it, and the Verizon Wireless co-owner at the 
time, Vodafone, would have influenced the decision greatly. Lower deployment 
costs to upgrade existing networks and existing vendor relationships with the 
GSM manufacturers made the decision easy.

Now imagine if Cambium and Ubiquiti announced LTE gear tomorrow? I bet quite a 
few members here would look at it.

Re: [WISPA] Fake Survey Ad/Scam from Zedo.com

2014-12-18 Thread daniel . mullen
This is a typical data gathering ad - they pull up the customer IP address to 
use that name to make it more 'trustworthy' for the user.

You really should call a lawyer to do a notice to them and make a complaint to 
the FTC.

What dns name solvers do you use to hand out to

free service for homes where a home user can 
monitor and potentially block certain websites, 
but that would require the home to signup at 
open dns, and then enter open DNS in their 
router. However if we handed out OpenDNS's IPs 
instead of googles, and provided a gateway, then 
that would remove that step of the client having 
to enter opendns IPs into their router right?Â


Does OpenDNS have a service for ISP's? That 
gives us insight as to where traffic on our 
network is heading based dns lookups? I know 
about Netflow etc, but doing this though DNS 
seems like a cool option as well. We wouldn't 
want to block anything as an ISP, but it would 
be useful to know the top visited site by our 
customers is facebook.com for example.


If not OpenDNS, then is there some other hosted DNS service for ISP's?Â

Re: [WISPA] What would you use a drone for?

2017-04-12 Thread Daniel Mullen

Andreas, beware!

If you are using is commercially, you MUST be 
licensed, and if you are using it 'for recreation' there now are strict rules.


https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/opssvs/flying-drone-safely-legally.html


Rules for recreational drones

If you fly your drone for fun and it weighs more 
than 250 g and up to 35 kg, you do not need 
special permission from Transport Canada to fly.


Follow the basic safety rules below. Not doing so 
may put lives, aircraft and property at risk. If 
you fly where you are not allowed or choose not 
to follow any of the rules below, you could face fines of up to $3,000.



Do not fly your drone:

   * higher than 90 m above the ground
   * closer than 75 m from buildings, vehicles, 
vessels, animals, people/crowds
   * closer than nine km from the centre of an 
aerodrome (any airport, heliport, seaplane base 
or anywhere that aircraft take-off and land)

   * within controlled or restricted airspace
   * within nine km of a forest fire
   * where it could interfere with police or first responders
   * at night or in clouds
   * if you can’t keep it in sight at all times
   * if you are not within 500 m of your drone
   * if your name, address, and telephone number 
are not clearly marked on your drone.


The list above is an overview of the new rules 
for recreational drone users. Consult the 
Interim 
Order Respecting the Use of Model Aircraft for 
the full list of provisions. Members of the 
Model Aeronautics 
Association of Canada (MAAC) who operate at MAAC 
sanctioned fields or events are not subject to these rules.

Flying 
for fun? New rules for recreational drone users

(PDF, 4 MB)


Tips for recreational drone users:

   * Fly your drone during daylight and in good weather.
   * Keep your drone where you can see it with 
your own eyes – not through an on-board camera, monitor or smartphone.
   * Make sure your drone is safe for flight 
before take-off. Ask yourself, for example: Are 
the batteries fully charged? Is it too cold to fly?
   * Respect the privacy of others. Avoid flying 
over private property or taking photos or videos without permission.


Non-recreational drone: If you fly your drone (or 
UAV) for work or research, or if it weighs more 
than 35 kg, you must get a Special Flight 
Operations Certificate (SFOC). The SFOC tells you 
how and where you are allowed to use your UAV.


For more information on the SFOC, read 
Getting 
permission to fly your drone.



Does Transport Canada approve schools that can teach me to fly my UAV safely?

We do not approve UAV training organizations or 
recognize certificates for UAV operations.


All UAV pilots are responsible to ensure they 
have the right level of knowledge, experience and 
skills required to safely operate. You may access 
UAV pilot training from sources including:

   * UAV operators and manufacturers
   * manned aviation flight training organizations
   * third parties


Legal requirements

When flying a UAV (non-recreational drone) in Canada, you must:
   * follow the rules in the Canadian Aviation Regulations:
   * section 602.41 – 
Unmanned 
air vehicles
   * respect the 
Criminal 
Code, your provincial Trespass Act, as well as 
all applicable municipal, provincial, and territorial laws that apply


When flying a model aircraft (recreational drone) in Canada you must:
   * follow the rules of the 
Interim 
Order Respecting the Use of Model Aircraft


Transport Canada inspectors investigate reports 
of unsafe and illegal drone use. We may involve 
local police if other laws (e.g., the Criminal 
Code and privacy laws) have been broken.


You could face serious consequences – including 
up to $25,000 in fines and/or jail time – if you:

   * put aircraft at risk
   * fly where you are not allowed
   * endanger anyone’s safety

For example:
   * If you fly where your drone recreationally 
where you are not allowed or choose not to follow 
any of the rules outlined in the 
Interim 
Order Respecting the Use of Model Aircraft you 
could face fines of up to $3,000.
   * If you fly a UAV without an SFOC and should 
have one, we may fine up to $5,000 for a person and $25,000 for a corporation.
   * If you do not follow the requirements of 
your SFOC, we may fine up to $3,000 for a person 
and $15,000 for a corporation.
