RE: [WISPA] Winbox
The application never asks for a secure certificate; so one would need to assume that the link is not encrypted and can be seen through a packet sniff. Also the port it uses is just a standard TCP port; maybe the exchange between winbox challenge and response is the only thing encrypted Not really sure.

RE: [WISPA] OT: Cell Phone Repeaters.
Scottie: We did a U.S. Cellular repeating solution for a company here in North Carolina. We are authorized partners of Spotwave and were one of the first companies to deploy in North Carolina. The product has been pretty much hands off since day one (almost three years now). The client went from zero service inside their facility to 5 bars. I'm not going to masquerade the fact; it was a little on the expensive side by any measure but you are dealing with a FCC Licensed frequency; we put in 1 donor unit and 2 repeaters. I will be glad to give you a reference if you want to talk directly to a customer that uses it. We are extremely happy with the Spotwave product line and would not hesitate to deploy it again should it be required. The only thing is you only buy one carrier freq per unit; so you have three carriers you want to enhance; you will have three donor units and repeaters.

RE: [WISPA] OT: Cell Phone Repeaters.
Glad I could help... I'm not saying you can't do it with some other solution (unlicensed) but you best be prepared for the consequences if the cell provider gets wind of...They have spent millions of dollars in their infrastructure and don't think for one minute they would not haul your company to court over something like that. As a matter a fact; when I was doing my first authorized deployment with Spotwave; we had a conference call with US Cellular and even though Spotwave was an authorized system on the US Cellular network; the engineers would not give us coordinates or even identify the location of the tower we were trying to repeat... They claimed it was proprietary and a trade secret... and gave us NO assistance with anything. They also told us if they had one complaint about this equipment causing a problem; they would come shut it down. We had to give them contacts for the building where the equipment was.

[WISPA] Teletronics TT2400X Radios and issues
Anyone out there running radios from Teletronics? We purchased 6 of them in January of this year and to date five of them have had to be replaced because of Ethernet issues...

RE: [WISPA] Teletronics TT2400X Radios and issues
Tom: Thanks for the info and offer; however I may be willing to pay you $.50 on the $1 to take mine off my hands...:-) We have been quite frustrated with these units and their marked poor performance. When they are not rebooting the links work great; however with all the radio (all four of them) spontaneously rebooting and sometimes just simply going to sleep, we are getting ready to license the link and or look for another provider for this solution. Tech support doesn't seem to quite want to address our issues until I get really upset and ask to start talking to management about their products performance and support. They have continually told us, they can't understand why we are having these problems; and they have 100's of these deployed across the world and the only other client that was having these same issues was in Africa. They just sent us two new radios (completely different case and poe) one of the two of those just reboots whenever, even though the watchdog timer was disabled. We are at our wits end here Ty -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom DeReggi Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2007 12:17 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Teletronics TT2400X Radios and issues Ty, We have used a number of them, and they have been working flawlessly in the field, with no complaints.

[WISPA] Sample letter to your representatives
This is a sample copy of what I just sent my representative Use it, edit it, discard it... just send something... Also, please don't bombard me with what you think I should have or should not have stated I'm just trying to give others a starting point of something they can elaborate on.. http://www.house.gov/writerep/ Sample Letter: I would like to take a moment to urge you to support an upcoming piece of legislation being introduced by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI); this legislation should exempt small broadband and wireless internet providers from the undue burden and expense of being CALEA (Carrier Assistance for Law Enforcement Agencies) compliant. The financial implications of this compliance request can easily cost $1000's of dollars a month for a solution that meets the compliance requirements; As a rural provider of Internet services we are doing good to make a small profit, as the broadband offerings are becoming more and more less expensive, the margins are continually narrowing. Having to become CALEA compliant, will throw is into a potential financial turmoil. In the past 10 years, we have never been served with a wiretap request. We service some 400 people in Eastern North Carolina and can not afford the requirements that have been placed on our ISP. Please support this legislation by co-sponsoring or endorsing this measure. I'm not aware of the HR number, but have been told it is coming.

RE: [WISPA] Mirrored Switch
P.S. I forgot to mention that the documentation and support for this product really suck; however for the price one can afford to go it alone with poor documentation and 8 x 5 M-F support hours. It is not that complicated. The biggest issue I ran into with the unit was manually setting the speed and duplex of each port and disabling the auto-negotiate feature... That really caused me extreme pain in the turnup of my switch; but once I hard coded every port, it has been smooth sailing with NO issues.

RE: [WISPA] WISP Peering
Travis: I think you are way out of line here... Just because your network has x number of clients does not mean that other entities that have less than you are not as capable to run a large network. I will tell you; here and now, I come from a background of having thousands of users on my network and the little guys are just as important, if not more important to talk to because of the reason they are willing to talk the issue through and not shove SLA's. People that take your attitude and continually shove SLA's in a providers face often, at least in my case, take a back seat because what we as a service provider had a window of time to fix for them what could easily be fixed immediately; but because the little guy was willing to call and discuss the issue and was willing to work with me, this put me as a service provider in a better position to isolate the problem and bring it to a resolution. So what if my SLA window was missed by a few minutes; a little credit on the account for the inconvience is all they (Mr. SLA) were looking for anyway. So please don't insult the smaller provider with that type of attitude that you are or companies of size are more capable of running a larger network. The principals are all the same in this type of arrangement just the scale is larger. BTW...I'm not in any way invalidating the value of an SLA... as a mater a fact I very much advocate having them; but a little reality check is from time to time appropriate.

Roaming is the exception not the norm with cell companies. Personally I think a better solution (if you absolutely don't want to just put up your own towers) is to just refer the customer to the other provider and hope they do the same in the future. Honestly, in Marlon's model, you aren't any different than just reselling DSL or Cable service. You don't have control of the network and you don't have control of the user's radio and/or router. And calling the other WISP's cell phone when a customer is down does NOT scale... especially to the levels Marlon is hoping to be at one day.

RE: [WISPA] Posting limits?

Is anyone else getting tired of sorting through the exhaustive amount of email we are getting on the public list? Much of it is good stuff but I think we see some people who are posting more than we need to all see. I am thinking we should consider a post count limit per day per person. I would like to hear feedback on this concept. Maybe a max of 5 posts per day? I think if we do this we might see the message count drop to a slightly lower amount and I personally think this would be good. The WISPA public list is becoming too much for me to digest each day. Just wondering what the rest of you think. Before someone jumps on this and finds that I have regularly posted more than this let me tell you that I already know this. I am going to try to self-regulate from now on whether the group agrees with this concept or not. If a post count per day limit is too limiting to everyone then perhaps we need to consider splitting up list subject matter into multiple lists and allowing people to be members on lists of varying themes. This public list is just becoming too large I think. Thoughts?
