 I'm curious to see what the percentages are between those that support 
 and those that don't support the Title II argument. I've been trying 
 to get a good feel for who would and wouldn't like it (mostly it seems 
 carriers love it, web services hate it.) I have a feeling WISPs might 
 be on the hate it side, but I'm interested to find out. Thanks for 
 your answer and have a fantastic day!

 You asked the question very poorly, so there is no one correct answer.

 Broadband is an adjective. You don't regulate adjectives, you regulate 
 nouns.  Broadband what? This is the fallacy of today's public discourse 
 -- they are using this adjective as a noun without the noun, so 
 different people use it to have different referents.

 I think I'm in pretty close harmony with the WISPA position here, given 
 that Steve Coran chose me to help him give his NN talk in Vegas last 
 month based on my detailed Comments on the topic to the FCC.  And I've 
 been writing and Commenting on this for years. Several years ago I told 
 the FCC that they were using this adjective as a noun, but that they 
 could separate the two primary implied nouns by using a Spanish-language 
 convention.  El Broadband would refer to the physical facility, the high 
 speed transmission medium. La Broadband would refer to the content of 
 the facility, including Internet service delivered over it.  (If you 
 don't know Spanish, el radio is a device and la radio is a 
 program.)  But in lawyer terms, El Broadband is the telecommunications 
 component, and La Broadband is the information service riding atop it.

 The reason NN is a Thing is that the FCC, in 2005, threw away the law 
 (TA96) and decided that telephone companies could stop being common 
 carriers, stop providing ISPs with El Broadband (raw DSL), and simply 
 sell La Broadband as a vertically-integrated service with exclusive 
 access to their formerly common-carrier facilities.  So typical 
 consumers in cities went from having many ISP choices (one cable company 
 and many ISPs available via DSL) to two (one each cable and DSL).

 The public reaction to this was, understandably, rather negative. They 
 recognized that they could be screwed by their cable and telco 
 duopolists (monopolists in many areas, and more in the future as the 
 ILECs abandon their copper plant without replacing it).  But not 
 recognizing the difference between a network (what carries IP) and an 
 internetwork (the Internet itself, content slung across many 
 networks), they demanded network neutrality referring to the ISP 
 function itself.  And the FCC obliged, being basically political, by 
 proposing the regulation of Internet services, but not regulating the 
 actual telecom provided by the monopolists.

 So I'm in favor of applying Title II to the actual telecommunications 
 component of broadband services provided by incumbents, and those using 
 rivalrous facilities (those that exclude others, including pole 
 attachments, conduits, and exclusively-licensed frequencies).  But those 
 who only compete with incumbent cable and telco, or who use 
 non-rivalrous facilities and frequencies (that includes essentially all 
 WISPs), would not fall under Title II whatsoever, and neither would the 
 Internet backbone or anything done on the Internet itself (IP layer on 
 up, but this does not refer to IP-based voice services provided by 
 facility owners).

 So I'm in favor of Title II for some broadband stuff (where it opens 
 monopoly wire to competitive ISPs) but not others (where it regulates 
 the Internet or WISPs).  Got it?  That's why the question is wrong.

  We apologize for this. We know it  will cause problems for some customers. 
VoX did everything it could to keep all services running smoothly. 
Unfortunately, this was unavoidable.
  This problem should not affect outbound calls and we urge you to email

  If your service was affected because of this issue, you have two options.

  1. We can offer you a replacement phone number in your rate center at no cost

  2. You can switch your service to another phone company.

 Exactly my point.  It doesn't make sense that someone representing 
 Dragonwave would state this is a $5k repair, not saying it didn't happen, 
 just saying it doesn't make sense to me.  Even DragonWave, which I think 
 has the perception of being higher priced, shouldn't have a one side $5k 
 repair/ replace on an ODU.

 The last time I priced a DragonWave path and a Trango path side by side, 
 they were very close in price so at least at the time, DragonWave wasn't 
 particularly out of line with the others in this space.

 That doesn’t sound good from DragonWave’s perspective. At $5k, that is 
 nearly the cost for the entire radio path, (not counting antennas, PONE,

 directly with DragonWave or through a vendor? We do most of our DragonWave

competitor

  The current FCC rules per November's CAF order allow ILECs to be
  subsidized to provide broadband unless there is an unsubsidized
  competitor who provides both voice and data service.  Jack Unger has
  written an excellent petition to the FCC to change that to allow it
  to be unsubsidized competition, wherein the data provider needn't
  be the voice provider.  But there's no guarantee that the FCC
  (currently down to three seated Commissioners) will take such action.

  A WISP can provide the needed voice service via VoIP.  It need not be
  a certificated CLEC.  However, to get the VoIP service and local
  numbers, it still needs a CLEC with a connection to (at minimum) the
  tandem switch serving its area.  In some rural areas, this might not
  be available.  So the WISP might need to create a CLEC, or at least
  get one to serve its area.

  While the traditional approach to starting a CLEC requires a
  switch, that rather costly item, which a lot of ISPs don't want to
  have to manage, can be finessed by using a remote gateway.  At least
  one CLEC I'm working with offers a remote rent a call agent
  service, where there Class 4/5 call agent, which is equipped with
  Signaling System 7 (a big expense), can serve gateways anywhere,
  passing signaling (H.248) across the Internet or, ideally, a VPN.  So
  the rural CLEC just has a media gateway and SBC, and orders trunks
  into the local central office.  The VoIP side of the gateway then
  feeds the subscribers.

  I'm trying to assess whether it's worth anyone's pursuing to set this
  up as an offering for WISPs. Does anyone see a market for this type
  of service?  Would it help anyone meet the unsubsidized competitor
  requirement?  Thanks...

 3) inputs to measure AC and DC (so that you can know if power is there
 or not)
 4) high temperature range (e.g. -10C, +50C)
 5) ability to put some labels on the interface (so that you can put
 the label do not reset this or routerA etc on the web interface and
 you know what you are doing)
 6) autoping
 7) remotely reset via a mobile phone call (sim card) or text messages
 from a list of phone numbers (the list can be updated via web interface,
 or any available interface)

Re: [WISPA] UBNT sectors 120s, 90s, or 60s?

  Subject: Re: [WISPA] UBNT sectors 120s, 90s, or 60s?

  My answer is... 60 deg.

  Actually, if I had my way, I'd prefer under 45 deg.

  Without detailed specs for the antennas, to understand what the product would 
be adding, its hard to suggest the market for each.
  UBNT makes wonderful and affordable 90 and 120 deg antennas, and if someone 
wants 90 or 120, I dont see why anyone would buy anything different than the 
proven product already available.  (unless KP's antennas add something)..

  What I can say is that there are not any 60 deg dual pol high quality sectors 
on the market today, and there is a need for such a product.

  Admittedly, I tend to use 90 degs now. But I'd use more 60 deg, if they were 
available, even if it meant not gaining 360 deg coverage.
  I believe a combination of 5.8 and 5.3/4 is needed in combination to gain 360 
coverage.  In Urban and heavilly saturated suburban environments 90-120 degree 
antennas are almost unusable, atleast not at high modulations.  The secret to a 
successful WISP is getting the highest modulations possible so they get the 
most capacity. And its better to have more capacity for limited coverage, than 
not enough capacity for full coverage, because with a more powerful offering, 
the take rate will be higher in the narrower coverage.

  It is true, that today, with UBNT only certified in 5.8 MIMO,  60 deg 
antennas would not likely safely enable full 360 degree coverage in most cases, 
prior to sync, and maybe not even then with noise floors.  And as well, low 
density would warrant cost savings of fewer sectors. And obtaining 360deg is 
more important in low density areas.  I'm sure this is why 120 and 90s are more 
attractive to rural WISPs. But the needs are much different for noisy 
Suburban/Urban.  120-90 deg antennas are to risky to use in urban cases.  It 
should also be noted that spectrum reuse is sometimes possible, in Urban areas, 
mounted on opposite sides of penthouses, even without syncing, and often 10Mhz 
channels can be used to gain the coverage. Urban will choose 10Mhz, if they 
have a low colo cost, and can prove that higher modulation is achievable with 
less noise as a result of narrower sectors.

  So the decission may come down to which market segment KP wants to target, 
rural versus urban. And if they want a unique product, or compete head to head 
with others that have 
  equivellent products.

Our production line can handle two of the three for a mid December release

The 120 degree version is pretty much a lock but we want your opinion

Re: [WISPA] Neighbor Sharing Internet

2011-10-31 Thread Kevin Sullivan

Tell them that:

a) They are responsible for everything that goes out over that router, if 
anything illegal occurs, it's their problem
b) It'll slow them down to have that second person on their service.

And then offer to just downgrade their service level and give their neighbor 
an account of their own. If they don't want to, we won't stop them, but we 
also won't work on their service while the second person is connected, since 
that is an unsupported configuration. It's always gone away eventually for 
us.

 sure there are quite a few doing this but when they out right tell you

  I would like to ask for help of wireless community. 

  We have to choose supplier of core router for our WISP projects. I know 
technical characteristics and price for core routers from Cisco - 7200 and 7600 
series. Although these models have impressive possibilities, their price is 
very prohibitive for small/medium projects. Which models of core router do use 
in your projects? I would like to get your recommendations, its advantages and 
disadvantages. Would like to know some cheap and middle-price options.

  It comes down to the feature set you need and the performance required.  Can 
you share your expected traffic numbers and what features you want to run?

  The cisco 7200 is a bit long in the tooth, the 7600 is the way to go forward. 
 Each can be found on the secondary market for cheap.  From a new device 
purchase decision, it's hard to beat the Juniper SRX series for smaller 
deployments.  a $1500 router can handle 300 mbit/s of IP/mpls and firewall in 
hardware is hard to beat.  The new MX series can handle 80gb/slot and its the 
next big competition to the 7600 from cisco.  Junos is amazing to work with 
compared to IOS too.

  However if you do need multiple line rate 10gb/s interfaces, the ALU 
7750/7710 should be considered too.

  I'd not consider the Imagestream product as it's not a serious carrier 
contender.  As of two years back they just did not have a product, and bowed 
out of an RFP I was forced into running.  It's a neat small office router, but 
that's all.  

  Again this is all my opinion :)

  How does one typically monitor remote locations to know when/if they're

  The easiest solution I can think of, is to stick an old routerboard at the

genny power.  This seems a little klunky though.

Re: [WISPA] non-802.3 rackmount poe switch

2011-03-04 Thread Kevin Sullivan

I guess the biggest question in my mind is whether most WISPs would need a 
non-standard 24v or 48v out. At the last Ubiquiti conference they mentioned 
that their newest line of AirBeam APs will be running 48v. Obviously their 
current line is 24v, as is Trango and Tranzeo. Moto needs the GPS sync signal, 
so this wouldn't work for that.
 Also, would most people use DC or A/C to power the device? If DC, 24 or 
48v?
I talked it over with our electrical engineer, and he says the $450 number 
is what it would cost in the three-four quantity we had been discussing. In a 
batch of 100, the price would be closer to $250. Is that more appealing?

  Hello Kevin,

   

  I'd be interested depending on how many ports you think this device would

more than 12 ports then that site should easily justify another $450 in

  Would surge suppression be included similar to whatever basic surge 
suppression is found in today's PoE's?  

   

  24VDC output would probably be our preference too.  Are you saying the DC

  1U shallow depth rack mount is pretty much a requirement for us.

Re: [WISPA] non-802.3 rackmount poe switch

2011-03-02 Thread Kevin Sullivan

So... we're most of the way through a mid-span design similar to what people 
are outlining here. Right now it's only non-standard POE, though. No 802.3. 
Again, we were only going to build three, for our own use. If we sold something 
that was:

Remote on/off per port
Auto-ping reboot per port
Dual-power supply, with notification on fail
DC powered, either 12, 24, or 48v
The one we are working on is 24v output only
1u rackmount or small form factor wall mountable
SNMP for reboot, voltage monitoring, input monitoring

We figured if it's a DC device, we can plug it into 110v easily with a 
transformer.

If it was $450, would anyone buy them? Actually, what I really need to know is, 
would we be able to get rid of 90 of them? We'd have to make a batch of 100, 
and we could use 10.  We'd get them back from the PCB manufacturer mid-May.

  I just want a rackmount multiport passive PoE controller, manageable per port

Re: [WISPA] Remote monitoring/ remote reboot

2011-02-08 Thread Kevin Sullivan

Hello,
We've had quite a few people who may be interested, so we figured we'd bite 
the bullet and order 100. Hopefully some of you all will want to take them off 
of our hands. :)
Here's the link to order them: http://www.alyrica.net/net_hatchet
We're going to, (hopefully), be able to send them out by March 15th. Of 
course, if someone wants to help us all out and order 1000, we could get that 
price down a little more... :)

Cheers!

  Hello,
  We've been working on building a remote monitoring/remote reboot board 
for awhile now, mostly for internal use. It runs on 9.5-55v, so we are going to 
be using it at some of our solar sites to monitor battery voltage and send 
alerts if they aren't charging, as well as the capability to remotely reboot 
radios. Oh, and it keeps track of temperature and turns a fan on if it gets too 
warm/ sends alerts at high enough temps.
  Anyway, we've got a couple out there, and we want to make another 
fifteen. However, it looks like it'll be WAY cheaper if we order 100... so we 
were wondering if anyone else would be interested in buying some. I think it'll 
be around $100 in quantity. If anyone is interested, I can send the data sheet 
and screencaps of the web interface.

Re: [WISPA] PtP Dish Alignment

Or SICE AirGhz. It's a free iPhone app that uses the internal compass to point 
you at the site, which you can add with lat/long. It also has the uptilt 
measurement built in, so you can hold the phone up against the back of the 
antenna, and it'll help you get the correct tilt. Pretty cool, but really only 
works on the iPhone 4 -- the predecessor's compass wasn't accurate enough.

If the distance is really long beyond site, such as 20-30miles, I'd agree. 
But if say LOS within 10 miles or so on a clear day, its pretty easy.



After our tech eye balls the alignment, I'll usually have the tech do a 
fine align just in case we can improve it. BUt 9 out of 10 times, it was not 
necessary and maybe we'll gain a half DB. 



The secret to aligning dishes is to look through the feed hole before the 
feed is screwed in. (for example PAC wireless parabolic dish). You then home in 
on the far side area aiming for, positionioned in cetner of hole, and make sure 
the Ring around the hole appears equal size all around to verify it is aligned. 
 Because the hole has metal around it that has DEPTH, maybe 1/4-1/2 inch, you 
can see the depth of this inside surface all around the hole.  



As matter of fact, if we dont get our link budget acheieve and we need to 
trouble shoot why, we check cables first, because the odds of having a bad 
cable is higher than the tech getting the first alignment attempt wrong. 



Panels are harder to align, because looking from the side.



Sure it can be harder to align a big dish with radome that does not have a 
removable feed.

Radiomobile can output a .kml file directly. That's what we sent to the Oregon

to have a overview of total WISP coverage, a series of .kml files in Google

  Any tips on turning radiomobile coverage overlays into shape files?  I've 
been playing with some open source tools and have made a little progress, but 
haven't had time to refine the technique yet.  I think if ISPs could produce 
shape files more easily, the response would be much greater.   For our state 
program (Utah), we gave them gps coords  for each subscriber, which they used 
to extrapolate approximate area.  I know they also accepted radiomobile graphic 
overlays and converted them for some ISP's.  Of course they have millions of 
dollars to spend on such projects...  I was disappointed with how few did 
submit this round.

  Thanks Ralph. Yeah not looking to pass commercial traffic on this, I

 etc., from people just like yourself. Thank you for your response, and
 the others, too.

 The 4.9 band is PUBLIC SAFETY only. I have deployed a lot of it in my 
 area
 on surveillance projects for the PD and some at the University of Georgia
 (for their PD).
 It all has to be licensed and as was said by someone else before it 
 CANNOT
 be used for regular ISP stuff.

 That said, I was not impressed with the performance. There seemed to be a
 lot of interference and I ended up only using 4 links and they were all
 about 2 blocks in length. There's not a lot of certified equipment out
 there
 (don't even THINK about Mikrotik) and what is there is expensive.

 My 2 cents worth from an actual user  :-)

Hey guys,

 We may be getting into some 4.9Ghz deployments soon and I thought I
 would check with you guys to see what sort of tips and 'gotchas' you may
 know of if you currently are operating in 4.9. We are having a meeting
 soon with the local municipality to see how we can work together to get
 this potentially going for the benefit of everyone in the community.
 Please feel free to email me directly if you'd prefer with any advice or
 tips in working with the local government, what equipment you recommend,
 maybe legal advice, etc.

 I know that's vague, but I hope it's specific enough as well :) .. 
 thanks.

  Unfortunately, these servers are going to be geographically dispersed, and 
doing things that cannot really be virtualized.   Three will be doing 
NAT/policy routing, three will be running our bandwidth tracking software, 
three will be terminating VOIP and one will be a network monitoring server 
running Nagios/Xymon/etc etc.

 Cisco's are finiky Keep in mind that if you are going to force the
 Ubnt Radio to 100Full.. then you should be doing the same to the Cisco
 as well.

 Having said that, I will share a recent experience..
 We have qty 3 runs of outdoor shielded cable run done within flexible
 conduit, inside a building between it's North Telco Room and the South
 Telco Room about a 100 ft length.

 On one of the cables going to a Linksys/Cisco POE Switch... and a
 NBM5... were getting CRC errors on any combination of duplex setting
 except when running 10meg full duplex. Redid the cable connectors a
 couple of times still no change...
 Replaced the cable with the spare run (1 of 3) cables... No More CRC
 Errors.

 Go Figure

 Moral of the story Strange things happen... rare but they do happen...

 If need be, since you have low supply of connectors, if you have any bad
 patch cables, cut, cross the tx/rx and splice it just to test.  Any true

Re: [WISPA] Leasing Companies

2010-06-04 Thread Kevin Sullivan

I've applied to several leasing companies, mostly for licensed links. All of 
them gave me an appox. rate for a five year term of under 10% per year. 
Then, after they ran credit, they came back with a monthly payment but 
wouldn't tell me the rate. I calculated it to be over 25% annually in all of 
the cases. When I talked to them about it, they all said that they don't 
actually do rates, they just give a monthly amount, since that's easier for 
people to understand. In all of the cases, if we had signed up, we would 
have paid more than three times what the equipment cost by the time the 
lease was done. One of them even tried that old Rule of 78 method for 
calulating interest. I didn't even think that was still legal in the US! Two 
of them verbally told us the lease was for a $1 buyout, but then in the fine 
print it said we would have to pay, fair market value, whatever that 
means.

If I ever find a honest leasing company, it'll make my business easier and 
more profitable. Until then, we'll continue to grow slowly.

Kevin

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Leasing Companies


I would recommend Peer to Peer lending options.  (Google peer to peer
 lending). They will end up being personal loans, and likely lower credit
 lines, but there is a much higher chance of walking away with a loan, at a
 reasonable rate.

 If you meet the financial profile for leasing, Lease Corp of America has
 some of the lowest rates. They do a lot of the Moto 1yr type leases. With
 LCA it wont be an issue that you are leasing wireless gear, because they
 do that all the time.

 A couple tips on leasing

 If you do less than 5 mil a year in revenue, or have less than 10 
 employee,
 chances are your lease will be qualified by personal credit rating.
 Most Leasing companies are clueless, and are incapable of making an
 intelligent judgement on their own, and instead rely heavilly on standard
 Credit Reports.
 If your personal Credit Score is less than 700, or personal revolving 
 credit
 lines over 50% utilized, dont bother applying for a lease, you'll probably
 get denied.. Work to improve credit score first.
 The price quote you get for equipment (for example whether 30% below or
 above market rate, whether a good or bad deal) will likely have very 
 little
 to do with your approval.
 Approval is more about documentation. On paper, whether you look like a
 low credit risk or not, using default common methods of valuing, without 
 an
 expanation needed.
 My personal opinion is WISPs are likely better off working with a local
 banks or private lenders, where they can meet underwriting decission 
 makers
 in person. WISPs appear like far less of a risk, when their business is
 explained to the lender. That message will rarely get conveyed adequately 
 to
 behind the scene decission makers in traditional large leasing companies.
 Avoid applying for a lease, unless you are confident that you will get
 accepted, because everytime an inquirey is made on your credit report by a
 lender, future lenders will question why you might have been turned down 
 by
 them, which brings up concern, and that inquirey will be on your record 
 for
 2 years, and nothing you can do about it. Even if you decided to turn down
 the loan because you were offered loan shark rates.  Leasers know who they
 loansharks are, and if they made an inquirey, but you dont have a loan 
 from
 them, they now dont know whether you turned them down or they turned you
 down. IF a loan shark wont lend to you, why should they?  I've found
 applying for leases to be a very delicate and unforgiving process. No one
 has to convince me on value of leasing, I get it. Obviously, there are
 numerous WISP Members that are successful at obtaining Leases. But what 
 I'm
 learning is that they are all more or less exactly the same, in regards to
 methods they use to qualify/approve applicants. Although they may vary
 drastically on how well they manage the loan/client experience or 
 ethically
 handle the application process, or what lease terms they'll extend.

[WISPA] Mikrotik routing/queing problem

2010-05-26 Thread Kevin Sullivan

 I think I have found a legitimate bug.  I'm running an RB1000 that 
we put in service about 2 weeks ago (it replaced another RB1000 that was 
having similar problems).  Here is what is going on:

Linux router  A - [ether1] RB1000 [ether3] --- Linux 
router B


The RB1000 above is connected to the two hosts shown.   
Each link A   RB1000   B has latency ~1ms.  We are not using any 
Mikrotik wireless.

A and B both know that they can reach each other through the RB1000 (thanks 
to OSPF).

A and B are Linux routers.  When I ping B from A (traffic going through the 
RB1000), I get no response.  When I log into B and tcpdump traffic, I can 
see icmp echo request packets coming in from A, and echo reply packets going 
out to A.  Fine.  I then log into the RB1000 and packet sniff ether1 and 
ether3.

ether1 packet sniff shows icmp request packets coming in.  ether3 shows icmp 
request packets going out, and icmp reply packets coming in.  However, the 
replies are not going out ether1.

BUT after several minutes, A starts seeing replies.

64 bytes from x.x.x.x: icmp_seq=1049 ttl=63 time=671216 ms
64 bytes from x.x.x.x: icmp_seq=1095 ttl=63 time=628217 ms
64 bytes from x.x.x.x: icmp_seq=1142 ttl=63 time=584217 ms
64 bytes from x.x.x.x: icmp_seq=1188 ttl=63 time=541218 ms
64 bytes from x.x.x.x: icmp_seq=1235 ttl=63 time=497234 ms

the RB1000 has been queuing my ICMP packets for ~500 seconds!!

I STOP pinging from A and packet sniff ether1 on the RB1000 again.  It is 
STILL sending out queued ICMP replies from A, even though I am 
not sending requests anymore.

Several minutes after I stop pinging from A, the RB1000 stops sending 
replies on ether1.

Clients have been complaining for months about slow speeds passing traffic 
through this router.  I've also noticed high CPU utilization, even when 
normal CPU hungry tasks were turned off (one mangle rule, no queues, no 
proxy, no DNS, etc).   During the day, we see 70-80% CPU utilization.  The 
previous router (same config) went to 100% utilization, which is why we 
replaced it.

Regards,

Kevin

Re: [WISPA] Trango APEX link trouble

2010-05-17 Thread Kevin Sullivan

Ok, I think we finally fixed it. It was only happening when it was hot 
becauseof a loose wire. The PS that came from Trango already had the 
power connector on it, so we didn't check the set screws that hold the wires 
into the connector. While I was troubleshooting today, one of the wires fell 
out. Both set screws were so loose, I'm suprised they stayed in long enough 
for us to mount the equipment. I tightened them down, and the problem seems 
to be solved.

Cheers,
Kevin

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Trango APEX link trouble


 Sure its possible to have a radio that is failing. All I can say isthe
 easiest and quickest thing to do is to 100% rule out everything else.
 I have to admit, I jumped to think I had a bad radio twice, even go the
 replacements shipped, and both times it ended up being cabling after all.
 The Apexes are pretty solid.

 There are so many possible ways CAT5 can go bad. And I know, the odds of 
 two
 cables going bad, (the management and Data) doesn't sound likey, but its
 possible.
 the APEX can be powered up by ether management or data cable. You might 
 want
 to try powering from the other one.

 For cable damage, the big things are corrosion on the pins, or a bad crimp
 to one of the pins. Those things are hard to spot, and dont always surface
 for 6 months or so.. Cable blows in the wind, link goes down, or overheats
 or shuts down because not getting enough current or to much while shorting
 out.

 Now when the APEXs first came out (like the first batch) there was a
 manufacturering flaw with a part that I think effected Ethernet life, but
 Trango proactively recalled them, like days after they shipped, and gave
 free repairs on it. (I was impressed, very responsibly done) But that was
 ages ago.

 It's been running six months without a dropped packet. Cable run is ~100
 feet, maybe a little less. We were powering it over the data port, but we
 switched to the management port today. We checked the power output on the
 PS, and with the power supply plugged into the power injector, but the
 radio
 not actually working, we got -47.8v. That makes me think it is unlikely 
 to
 be an actual power supply issue.

I'm starting to wonder if it is heat related somehow. The problem
 started at around 10:00am today, and now that it's nearing six and 
 cooling
 down, the link came back up and started working fine. I can't think what
 else it would be related to... maybe the power injector doesn't like it
 when
 it gets warm? I have a new power injector coming from Trango -- I'm
 thinking
 maybe the current power injector has a bad component that doesn't react
 well
 to heat.

 How long have you had the link installed?

 How long is the Ethernet cable that you are running the PoE on?

 Are you powering the unit over the management port or the data port?

 We had trouble keeping an Apex unit powered up some time ago.  It would
 run
 for 15min to an hour and then stop.  Turned out even though the Ethernet
 cable was only 250-260' we determined we need to power the unit via a
 shorter cable run.  Once we did that the problem hasn't arisen again
 since.

 The odd thing is we have several Apex radios running without trouble on
 cables even longer than the 250-260' cable this unit was running on.

 Best,


 Brad

Hello,
I've asked before, but I still haven't got an answer. Does WISPA have any 
online classifieds for used WISP equipment? I'm looking for a licensed link, 
and I have mountains of Trango 5800(-d), Trango 900, Tranzeo, and a few Trango 
ATLAS backhaul units I'd like liquidate. (I've also got a HUGE pile of Raylink, 
alvarion 900, and SmartBridges, but I'll probably have to just haul those to 
the dump).  I'm thinking of throwing up a classifieds page for WISPs, but I 
really don't want to duplicate, if someone else already has one.

 How long have you had the link installed?

 How long is the Ethernet cable that you are running the PoE on?

 Are you powering the unit over the management port or the data port?

 We had trouble keeping an Apex unit powered up some time ago.  It would 
 run
 for 15min to an hour and then stop.  Turned out even though the Ethernet
 cable was only 250-260' we determined we need to power the unit via a
 shorter cable run.  Once we did that the problem hasn't arisen again 
 since.

 The odd thing is we have several Apex radios running without trouble on
 cables even longer than the 250-260' cable this unit was running on.

 Best,


 Brad

 Subject: [WISPA] Trango APEX link trouble

 Hello,
We have an 11ghz Trango APEX link up for one of our incoming lines, and
 it went down this morning. There is no link light on either the managment 
 or
 traffic port on one end. We unplugged-and-replugged the power on it, and 
 it
 came back up for fifteen to twenty minutes, then crashed again. I've been
 trying to get a hold of Trango tech support, but so far it's been several
 hours and I just keep getting voice mail. Has anyone else seen anything 
 like
 this?

 Thanks,
Kevin

[WISPA] VoIP

2010-04-19 Thread Kevin Sullivan

We'd like to start offering VoIP to our wireless customers, and we've taken a 
look at a couple of packaged soultions like NetSapiens. What is everyone else 
using? We'd like to start at a lower $$ than the $17,000 that we've been 
hearing from the packaged deals.

interested in cost/sub and max throughput/sub

[WISPA] Tranzeo WiMax for sale / Classifieds

2010-03-23 Thread Kevin Sullivan

We just listed a Tranzeo WiMax starter kit on ebay, here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=270549261069ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

and it got me thinking again about a wireless classified page. Does WISPA have 
one already?

[WISPA] Advertising material

2010-02-11 Thread Kevin Sullivan

We're working on a new ad campign for the new locations that we can now hit 
that we couldn't before, thanks to several new tower sites. Does anyone have 
any good direct mail material? I hate the stuff we've been using, but I'm 
having trouble coming up with anything better. 
  BTW -- has anyone tried local Dish Network advertising before? I have no idea 
if they would even have that local of a programming list, but it would be a 
good fit to advertise on...
