Re: [WISPA] Nstreme2 Link Pacwireless
You might also look at a proprietary PoE solution, or maybe regular 48v PoE with a DC-DC (48v to 12v) convertor on the end. You could also look a solar. FWIW, there is a 60 watt injector available (Mfg Part #: TR60A-POE-L) : http://www.wlanmall.com/high-power-watt-power-over-ethernet-injector-lightning-protection-p-727.html On Aug 2 2007, Mike Hammett wrote: They make ATX power supplies with DC inputs, but I don't know if PoE can pass enough wattage for them.

Running LMR cable works for short runs (20-30ft), but after that it just limits the signal too much. What we really need is an 800mhz Routerboard in the same form factor as the current RB532. :) Travis Microserv Jory Privett wrote: I have been doing some research and these seem great, almost. The main problem I have is power where it needs to be. If I could get 120v then I could easily use one of these units or a standard PC. Most of my sights are on water towers so there is no electricity at the top of them and the radio ahs to be feed with PoE. I have tried putting the radios lower and using LMR cableis to the antennas but have had bad experiences with that in the past. Jory Privett WCCS - Original Message - From: David E.

Does anyone have any recomendations/experinces with any in particular? Do they support the MikroTik RouterOS? Just get something fanless and low-power, and you're good. I usually suggest fanless because you can get the whole No Moving Parts assembly, which means fewer things that can break; the benefit of that should be obvious :) Low-power is optional, but usually goes along with fanless, because otherwise your computer could cook itself. The biggest downside is probably the some assembly required bit - you're basically buying all the parts for a small desktop computer, and assembling them yourself. There's a bit of learning curve even if you've worked with desktop PCs before (those power supplies especially are tiny, and can be annoying to work with). Your first system will probably take an hour or two to assemble. It will be a bit bigger than a Routerboard 500 - probably six inches square, two or three inches tall. And you'll need real power, as you can't usually run these with POE. RouterOS is available for standard x86 hardware, which most mini-ITX boards would be. You may also want to look at the new Soekris 5501. I haven't tested RouterOS on it, but Soekris is standard x86 hardware, so problems are pretty unlikely. It's a single-board unit, so you don't have to assemble anything; you'll be getting a bit less performance at about the same price, but you don't have to spend an hour putting bits together. mini-box.com has a good selection of bits and pieces; I've bought from them before and they took good care of me.

Re: [WISPA] T-Mobile [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Means they can either use the cell towers to triangulate the position of the handset, which works better as more towers become visible. Or they have an actual GPS receiver in the handset that may or may not be usable by the handset owner with or without a 'GPS feature' enabling subscription. The telco policy of nickel-and-dimeing for every little feature is very irritating, including how they handle data and SMS. -hk On Jul 21 2007, George Rogato wrote: What does that mean.

Re: [WISPA] verizon fios pricing (mobility and roaming)
Hello, There was some open-source work done that allowed generic 802.11 clients to roam around on a wireless network without breaking stateful/session-orientated connections. It was called Transparent Mobility, and there is code available on the SF site below. I believe it was actually put into practice at SOWN, but there doesn't appear to have been any additional recent activity on the project. Nonetheless it was an interesting way to solve the problem of not having built-in roaming capabilities in 802.11. The description: --- About Transparent Mobile IP This project aims to provide IP mobility across multiple networks, ensuring that all active TCP sessions will be maintained upon migration. No client side software or alteration to IP stack is required. The network itself changes to provide connectivity. --- http://www.slyware.com/projects_tmip.shtml http://www.sown.org.uk/index.php/TransparentMobility http://sourceforge.net/projects/tmip At 03:32 PM 12/28/2005 -0500, you wrote: Matt, Great point, that many forget. For the record, there were several unlicensed products that ahve been marketed to mobility, such as Alvarion 900Mhz. Does Alvarion 900 mobile product llow subscribers to maintain state, when switching APs? My understanding is that a vehichle in motion (at not to high a speed) could successfully use the service, however, it would infact be a dirty copnnection break when switching APs, meaning lossing connection with one, and then searching for the second after connection lsot to first. Is that correct, Alvarion people?

Wi-Fi users can be nomadic in that as they move from AP to AP the client is disconnected and then reconnected. True roaming involves handoffs from node to node like on a cell network. Specifically, a cell phone actually makes a new connection and initiates the handoff. Wi-Fi clients are rather dumb and don't have this ability. The difference is related to maintaining state on any network connections, which is especially important for VoIP and VPN. -Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No, we don't use WIFI, it is strictly a fixed wireless network at this point -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Thomas Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 9:37 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] verizon fios pricing Is your wireless network set up to allow roaming?
