Re: [WISPA] NanoBeam Problems

I had it happen the other day.  Fresh install, told tech, “hold on, I need to 
update fw”  5 minutes later it hadn’t come back.  Reboot didn’t work.  Couldn’t 
access from our 192.168.100.1 address or the default.  Had to hard reset.  It 
did however, take the upgrade.

Re: [WISPA] KP Performance vs UBNT Antennas

2014-08-28 Thread Greg Osborn 
UBNT to KPP straight up, kpp.  UBNT with armor vs KPP, we prefer UBNT
because of the extra horizontal separation required with KPP.  On a grainleg
platform, we've seen kpp sectors see one another at -30 or below, where UBNT
see one another in the -50's.  On a tower without standoffs and KPP, forget
it, you will have problems.

one obvious advantage with the KPP is that the connectors or all covered by
the shielding, so you eliminate any potential issues with water in the
connectors, and you can throw away that annoying cover on the Rocket over
the ethernet port.

Mathew, these are for 2. GHz Rockets.

I was wondering about the shielding as well. Unless you're in an area with a
ton of interference...  But as was mentioned, the KP omni with the shielding
is the same price basically as the same UBNT model without it. I'm all about
using stuff that's included at no additional charge :)

Re: [WISPA] Net neutrality, The beginning of the end

I don’t believe that to be most everyone’s gripe.  Internet and transport are 
cheap in comparison to backhaul and the labor required to implement.  We have 
around 250 links, if you take Netflix out of the equation, you are not chasing 
your tail upgrading them all the time.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Net neutrality, The beginning of the end

I don’t comment all that often here, but very much pay attention to the voices 
of experience.  On Net Neutrality, I have plenty to say.  As with most of my 
FCC comments, what I filed 2 weeks ago with them went against the grain.  I am 
a purist who has been in telecom since I repaired my first CB radio for a 
neighbor at the age of 14.  I helped launch Metromedia’s cellular system in NY, 
 a company I was a part owner in was the first acquisition of Fleetcall in NY 
City.  Anyone as old as me would remember that Fleetcall became NexTel, and for 
the real youngsters, they were acquired by Sprint for what turned out to be a 
total write-off of $35 billion in December of 2004.  I have been using 
unlicensed radio to link communications sites since long before it went 
digital.  

 

One thing my experience and observations have taught me is that nothing 
promotes innovation like free market.  We need not look beyond our own industry 
to prove that.  When no one would service 40% of America, we collectively built 
an industry that matured into a recognized and respected market sector.   I was 
involved in the previous formation of an industry that is both parallel and 
intertwined with WISPS, that of home satellite television. 

 

Back in the mid 1970’s a band of tenacious, adventurous experimenters took 
handfuls of surplus junk and built home earth stations.  In short order we went 
from being pirates and thieves to an established medium to reach rural America. 
 It wasn’t long before the big money found us and pushed us out of the way.  We 
went from a place where we could make a respectable income to being lackeys for 
DirecTV and DISH who generously paid us a few dollars to do the job and then 
gave us a big residual of 50 cents to about two dollars, on subscribers that 
ARPU of $100 or more.

 

WISPs have been struggling to keep up with the Netflix demand since they went 
to Internet delivery in 2009.  Systems big and small quickly found their choke 
points.  And like in highway design, if you upgrade one intersection, the 
traffic jam just moves to the next unimproved intersection.  The problem is, 
unlike the highway department, we don’t run on tax revenue.  We have to charge 
subscribers for a service that is both fair and responsive to their needs.

 

The SPRINT concept in the article is the most fair and responsible way to 
assure that our infrastructure can meet the demand, and that those creating the 
demand are the ones paying for it.  The FCC needs to stop cow-towing to the 
illiterate public who are still touting that they need to “protect the FREE 
Internet”.  Who gets this for free?  If you are in a coffee shop, the 
proprietor is paying for it.  Public Wi-Fi is advertising or tax subsidized.  
Do we get power, water, heating for free?  

 

Ten years ago we projected a mass movement from the PSTN to VoIP.  Even the 
industry experts never predicted a loss of 48% of copper lines in 10 years.  
What was built up over a century dissipated in the blink of an eye.  We are 
again on the cusp of a shift in the paradigm that will see cable and satellite 
users shift to Internet based delivery on any device they desire.  The same 
dramatic reduction witnessed in copper phone lines awaits the traditional 
Multichannel marketplace.  And along with the big guns, we are on the front 
line.  We will be expected to deliver copious amounts of data to subscribers as 
they stream HD video and music to multiple devices in their homes and offices.  

 

We, the WISP industry, need to step up our game if we are going to remain part 
of this.  We are going to have to emulate the cellular industry with frequency 
reuse like we never imagined.  We are going to have to replace our older radios 
with ones that can deliver the required bandwidth, an

Re: [WISPA] Roku 3 Wifi Interference

I have a Roku HD and it uses 5.8 for the remote, not 2.4.  I don't believe
the roku can connect to 5.8 for an internet connection.  I could be wrong,

Has anyone run into this yet? 

The Roku 3 uses it's own dedicated wifi network to communicate with the
remote control. If the roku is connected to the customer's wifi router to
get online, the remote wifi will always use the same channel and cause
interference with other wifi devices. 

We just had an install today where the router was hearing the interfering
SSID from the roku at a -22. And as you might expect the wifi performance
was garbage. 

Just one more thing to look out for and cause support headaches. 

The workaround is to plug in the roku via ethernet, which will make it use
the 5ghz band to talk to remote - of course that might interfere with your
5ghz CPE now. 

Are IR remotes really all that bad?

I have attached a link for an antenna we commonly use on our Canopy PMP100 2.4 
Omnis. I have an issue with an AP where everyone has decent signal but 
throughput is suffering (decent down capacity, crappy up capacity). Usually I 
have never had ice on these antennas. I did however use to have an icing issue 
on a smoother 5.7 AP 4 winters ago where I de-iced a few times a day, maybe a 
total of 20 times that season, on the same tower. This antenna has a rough 
texture, but I have never, that I know of, had an ice issue on it before. I 
have a guy trying to determine from the ground if he can detect ice, but it’s a 
175 foot climb. It’s a better day than today to climb for sure

 

anyways, just curious if others who may use this antenna has had the issue

Re: [WISPA] Fw: Antenna Array Suggestions

2014-01-07 Thread Greg Osborn 
In our experience the KPP sectors don’t work as well without horizontal
separation.  Of course you could try to vertically separate them also, but
that isn’t really an option at this site.  Using UBNT radios with 3 kpp
sectors, you can expect the radios to see one another at about -1 to -15,
depending on the variance of each scan.  With UBNT sectors and RF armor, you
can expect the radios to see one another at around -28 to -35.  In order to
achieve the -30 db range with KPP, we have to put them in separate corners
of a grainleg platform. While the signal from the CPE might not be as good,
you get better performance at worse signals.  So a -75 performs like a -68.

Heith,

 

If you plan to use Canopy PMP100 2.4Ghz, I would recommend doing ABAB
instead of ABC. Paired with 90° sectors from KPP I have found work well. You
leave some (although not much) flexibility with keeping channel 6 unused for
other APs located in the area (not exclusive and there is always an
exception). Running in ABC could cause issues as you have less options for
channel switching. The advantage of GPS Sync in the 2.4Ghz band I believe to
be a better choice over UBNT, especially if your area around this site is
also Canopy (with GPS Sync).

 

Clay also has a good point about the 5Ghz. Adding this (depending on
deployments around the area) for your existing customer base for eligible
subscribers. This is ideal for LOS clients and will give you some more
wiggle room on your 2.4Ghz APs.

 

I can't speak on UBNT 900Mhz because I haven't ever touched it. Canopy
900Mhz is really all I have worked with. The 3Mbps aggregate bandwidth is a
turn off for most people, but again, GPS sync on a band that propagates
extremely well and is sensitive to interference trumps overall aggregate
bandwidth in my opinion. But it is regional. Someone with a low 900Mhz noise
floor and little sources of interference will have a different experience.
Quality of the service versus aggregate bandwidth is never a question. We do
run one MT 900Mhz AP with an XR9 that has proved to perform extremely well,
but it is rather isolated from the rest of the 900Mhz we run.

 

Can Canopy and UBNT exist together? In the areas where we have only Canopy,
we have not had much luck deploying MT/UBNT. The Canopy destroys the OFDM
technologies. YMMV.

 

I like the KPP products. As I upgrade towers I have been replacing UBNT and
PAC/Laird sectors. We only run 900Mhz in h-pol, and the KPP 900Mhz antennas
are great because they aren't huge due to the lack of a vertical polarity.
However, KPP antennas and Canopy PMP100 is going to put a noticeable dent in
your wallet.

 

Good luck with your upgrade! I hope all goes well!!

How would it be impossible?

These calcs aren't going to be able to factor in the foliage loss because of 
how variable it is. We'll just use 5 miles of free space as the loss.

Rocket + UBNT sector as the AP and a NanoBridge as the CPE.

AP -> CPE = -63
CPE -> AP = -61

Now if we had antenna of the same gain in 900 as I'm using in 5 GHz (18 AP, 25 
CPE)

AP -> CPE = -49
CPE -> AP = -56

So I guess its not as optimistic as I thought because of the PtP rule in 5 GHz, 
but in the downstream direction (AP - CPE), we're 14 is dB better and CPE to AP 
we're 5 dB.

Manufacturers, give us bigger antenna!

With Cambium, we have connections that are stable at -82 dB.

We have a backup backhaul for a tower that is about 5 miles. One ridge in 
between towers must have trees that interfere with freznel zone. Towers are 
200'. Originally had a Cambium 900 with 6 foot single polarity yagis. It worked 
for emergencies in most situations (sometimes rain or snow would interfere). 
Put in UBNT with UBNT dual polarity yagis. Bandwidth available is slightly 
lower than the Cambium.

As for interference, I have mounted a Cambium 900 SM with the UBNT dual 
polarity with 40 foot horizontal separation without interference (for testing 
purposes, not real world implementation). It did work.

GPS sync is better. I have two horizontal 900 omnis and 1 vertical omni mounted 
with less than 12" of horizontal separation on a tower using Cambium (no 
sectors will not work in this situation, and additional tower space is not 
available). It works. 

We have a tower currently with a 900 backhaul and 900 ap for distribution. Sync 
makes this possible. When we raise the tower another 100 feet this 900 backhaul 
will go away. 2.4/5.x do not work on this. A few 80+ foot trees (somewhere) are 
the problem

Yes, the smartmeter usage of 900 spectrum is problematic around here and they 
seem to be a 919 mhz center channel. Using channels higher than 915 becomes 
more difficult.

This is why I state that UBNT 900 is not good. Increasing signal by 15 dB is 
IMPOSSIBLE for our situations... well, legally that is.

I have a radio on the roof pointing home.  I just went up there today to

The first step in waterproofing the NanoStation is:

 

NEVER, NEVER, EVER, EVER use that stupid white wire tie they come with to
mount it!

The foil tape holding it folded is worth more that the wire tie itself.
Come to think of it, I should have gotten a roll of the foil tape and used
it for mounting.

 

If you use the white one, you will be back in 3 years and the Nano will be
hanging upside down by its wire, filled with water.

The hopper (DISH) does the same thing. 
  With the use of the HIC, they plug the internet in the HIC and

Right,but the genie has a dongle that is installed with the system and plugs into the router and uses coax to feed to the dvr,hench the higher adoption rate of use. Not liking the levels I'm starting to see.

There's Cambium, WiFi, LTE and WiMAX that I can think of. 

Alvarion has recently come out with a higher capacity AP (LTE?), but I'd consider it to be at the new bar for average. Otherwise, WiMAX and LTE are generally too low of throughput to be useful. 

I don't think anyone has really enough of a differentiator in the WiFi space to not use UBNT or Mikrotik. UBNT is cheap and generally works. Mikrotik has their whole RouterOS behind it and generally works. 

Cambium is the only thing I can think of that's doing their own thing. It looks really good if only the APs were 90% less expensive. 

100 meg of throughput on an AP is really the minimum to be considered. I have areas where I could put something multiples higher to use.

There is nothing easy about the nanobridge install.  100% PITA and
the gain isn't very great.  10-12 db additional with a securalign or
kpp.  The power is much lower on the bridges also.  600 mw vs
200-300.

We have decided to standardize on the NanoStationM2 for all our 2.4Ghz
installs.  At this time, the installers use the lights on the radio for
alignment.  When using a reflector, they are complaining that they can't
see the lights on the radio to align it.  Besides allowing them to login
to the radio to check signal, what are you guys doing to properly align
the NSM radios when using a reflector?  Is it as difficult as my
installers are making it out to be?
