Ubiquiti claims 150 megs of TCP/IP throughput, which is possible if you add 
upload and download as is common in the unlicensed world.

I couldn't tell from any documentation whether they were 20 MHz or 40 MHz. 
The FCC certification wasn't overly clear, but I think it can do both.

I don't see any reason why something can't do full data rate at 15 miles. 
My Orthogon does full data rate over 18 miles.  I haven't tested my MT's 
since I got boards that can handle that much speed.

Someone has to alpha and beta test the gear.

 both polarities in order to achieve good performence on 64qam and 2

  So if your noise floor is -80, youll need a -55 signal to get the high

 MIMO (especially dual-pol) gets you much better performance.  Cell phone
 companies have been doing this for years and years.

 You're 3dB vs 25dB comment is misleading.  UBNT may need a received 
 level
 of
 -70dBm to achieve higher speeds... but, so does a Canopy.  You can't 
 expect
 to achieve anything on a Canopy with, say, a -97dBm signal. 
 Furthermore,
 UBNT will actually link around -95dBm and work, albeit slow.  Canopy 
 will
 say SCANNING

 We have tested these products, and have networks deployed both here in 
 the
 states and in Costa Rica.  You wouldn't think it, but Costa Rica has
 waaay more noise than we do here.  The government uses 2.4 and 5GHz 
 for
 random things, people have way overamp'ed equipment, there are a ton of
 little WISP's, etc.  Canopy down there performs as expected... a couple
 mbps
 up, a couple mbps down.  UBNT MIMO blows it away, especially with AirMax
 and
 in a noisy environment.

 When testing the MIMO you can't just run a single stream, they work best
 with many streams.  We have seen about 130Mbps on a full-duplex on a
 deployed link, around 15 miles, in a noisy environment.  With the PtMP
 equipment, we see similar results.  With the older non-N non-MIMO
 equipment,
 we have seen up to 100+ subs on a single PowerStation AP, all getting at
 least 12Mbps/6Mbps, and latency always under 10ms.

 I get it, it's a Motorola list.  We're on here because we use some of 
 that
 too.  Not much, anymore, because there are much better products out 
 there.
 I'm sure this will start a flame war, as talk of anything other than 
 Canopy
 always does, and I don't really care.  The equipment is cheap enough, if
 you
 want to see it for yourself buy some and put it in.  When you see it 
 works
 as well as we've seen, you, too, can offer your subs 12Mbps for $25/mo

 make killer profits.  Our ROI on a new install is 1 Day.  We make money

I'm going to call BS here... 

(1) You don't really have a noisy environment if you are able to run a basic 
Powerstation AP with 100 subs and have it work at all. We are on towers on 
hilltops that have over 120 antennas (dishes, sectors, omnis) within a 500ft 
radius from our tower. 

(2) You aren't shooting 10-15 miles in a point to multi-point configuration

(3) Your math doesn't work. 100+ subs on a Powerstation AP (even if it's doing 
130Mbps), that's 1.3Mbps per sub. There is no way _every_ speed test is 12Mbps 
down and 6Mbps up with 100 people connected.

(4) How many total customers do you have on wireless?

(5) Why doesn't your homepage load (www.spectrasurf.com)?

(6) Our ROI using Canopy is 0 days. :)

(7) Even one of the lead engineers at Ubiquiti said the product is designed 
more for countries with little or no internet service where they will be happy 
with ISDN speeds.

I have a test setup on the way. I will test and report back what the real 
world is on this equipment. ;)

 Finding a 40 MHz window that is clean on both vertical and horizontal

Re: [WISPA] Bullet M5 HP

How is the size of the dish going to help if the EIRP is capped at 30dB? This 
band does not following the same PTP rules as 5.7. Freespace loss is going to 
increase but the 30dB EIRP is constant.

I know.  2' dishes will do 10 miles.  3' does 15 miles.  4' does 20 miles. 
6' does 30 miles.  All within 30 dB EIRP.  Obviously radio\antenna

 Ubiquiti claims 150 megs of TCP/IP throughput, which is possible if you
 add
 upload and download as is common in the unlicensed world.

 I couldn't tell from any documentation whether they were 20 MHz or 40
 MHz.
 The FCC certification wasn't overly clear, but I think it can do both.

 It can do both but require 40 MHz channels to achieve 150Mbps+ MIMO
 throughput and 100Mbps+ SISO throughput.
 Finding a 40 MHz window that is clean on both vertical and horizontal
 is quite a challenge these days.

You decrease the radio output.  Any good radio can do negative dB.

24 dB radio + 6 dBi omni = 30 dB EIRP

2 dB radio + 28 dBi 2' antenna = 30 dB EIRP

-7 dB radio + 37 dBi 6' antenna = 30 dB EIRP

It's still only 30 dB you say?  Well, the receive antenna is 9 dB more, 
giving you overall 9 dB more on the whole link.

That 6 dB omni would only be able to have a 0.75 mile link vs. 30 miles for 
a 6'.

If I were to be ignoring that 30 dB EIRP limit, you'd have the following:

24 dB radio + 6 dBi omni = 30 dB EIRP  for 0.75 miles
24 dB radio + 28 dBi 2' antenna = 52 dB EIRP over 100 miles (the calculator 
doesn't accept more than 100)

Yes, I know you're not going to get that in real life, but you really can't 
have this kind of comparative discussion with real world numbers because the 
real world is different everywhere at different times.

Re: [WISPA] Bullet M5 HP

2009-08-19 Thread jp
Mike, not one of those choices is possible.

But the bullet 5m can not have the power turned down below 6dbm output. 
This will limit your choice to exclude the 2' dishes. UBNT-Mike.Ford 
says the power reduction isn't possible. 
http://www.ubnt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14053highlight=

(If they get FCC approval for 5.4 band). I haven't yet seen any proof of 
any approval. Anyone got a production m5 radio with an fcc id?

In this case, it looks like a 1' panel is about all you could use for an 
antenna in a 30dbm eirp situation. More antenna would be desired for 
better reception, due to the fact that neither end can put out much.

Re: [WISPA] Bullet M5 HP

2009-08-18 Thread Robert West
I was hoping for that myself.  Would be seriously nice to have GPS
integrated in the thing.  I've only worked with the Bullets so far and no
mention of that.  I have some Rockets on order but since they all use AirOS,
I doubt that's a doable thing.  But even without GPS, it all looks to be a
game changer at least on my end here.  I'm still not ready to dump the
Mikrotik though, the AirMax line is very much plug and play and anyone could
figure it out but to do that it's less complicated and that equates to less
easy to add weird configurations of the software.  We all know we need
lots of weird configurations from time to time.  That's the bonus with
Mikrotik, one can script the hell out of it.  Sure, you can add scripts in
Ubiquiti but not like the MT.  I'd love to go 100% with UBNT but just not
gonna happen soon.

Re: [WISPA] Bullet M5 HP

2009-08-18 Thread Randy Cosby
Maybe this is better for the Mikrotik list, but any vendor can pick up 
on this if they want :)

In researching the UBNT new stuff, I came across something quite 
interesting / promising.  It appeared some newer atheros chipsets had 
TDMA built into the hardware, but  I believe I was mistaken.  There was, 
however, a software-based TDMA developed for FreeBSD that replaces CSMA 
in some Atheros chips, and another for Linux.  I'm betting that is what 
AirMax is based on.   It also looks like some folks are playing with 
integrating this with GPS, but I haven't found any actual 
implementations other than boards that support it:

FreeBSD / GPS:

Linux:

 I was hoping for that myself.  Would be seriously nice to have GPS
 integrated in the thing.  I've only worked with the Bullets so far and no
 mention of that.  I have some Rockets on order but since they all use AirOS,
 I doubt that's a doable thing.  But even without GPS, it all looks to be a
 game changer at least on my end here.  I'm still not ready to dump the
 Mikrotik though, the AirMax line is very much plug and play and anyone could
 figure it out but to do that it's less complicated and that equates to less
 easy to add weird configurations of the software.  We all know we need
 lots of weird configurations from time to time.  That's the bonus with
 Mikrotik, one can script the hell out of it.  Sure, you can add scripts in
 Ubiquiti but not like the MT.  I'd love to go 100% with UBNT but just not
 gonna happen soon.

I was playing around with the Bullets last night and my connect was 150 but
I'd have to have some really understanding customers to try to test more
than a few with the Bullet.  That can be saved for an emergency situation!
We're throwing them up later this week for some new outlying backhauls.
We'll see what kind of traffic we can pass once those are in place.
Planning on replacing those with the rockets once they are available but for
now the Bullets are cheap enough and we have low CPE count out there at the
moment.

Yeah, but its misleading garbage specs.

Mimo adds very little in noisy environments, where double size channels and 
both polarities can't be both used based on spectrum availabilty, not to 
mention specifying gross speed instead of actual speeds.

I'm not saying the Ubiquiti isn't a really nice needed product, I'm just 
saying, in real world use,  I'm not certain its faster than Motorola PtMP, 
including advantage series. (per Mhz wide channel efficiency). Don't forget 
the 3b SNR required by canopy and the 25db snr required by Ubiquiti for high 
modulations, which is rarely acheived in PtMP.  Remember, a flaky 
packetlossy link is going to bring TCP down to its knees in throuhgput 
reduction.

The most exciting thing about teh new product is its inferred that there 
might be a low cost dual pol sector antenna available now?

Re: [WISPA] Bullet M5 HP

2009-08-18 Thread Jayson Baker
MIMO (especially dual-pol) gets you much better performance.  Cell phone
companies have been doing this for years and years.

You're 3dB vs 25dB comment is misleading.  UBNT may need a received level of
-70dBm to achieve higher speeds... but, so does a Canopy.  You can't expect
to achieve anything on a Canopy with, say, a -97dBm signal.  Furthermore,
UBNT will actually link around -95dBm and work, albeit slow.  Canopy will
say SCANNING

We have tested these products, and have networks deployed both here in the
states and in Costa Rica.  You wouldn't think it, but Costa Rica has
waaay more noise than we do here.  The government uses 2.4 and 5GHz for
random things, people have way overamp'ed equipment, there are a ton of
little WISP's, etc.  Canopy down there performs as expected... a couple mbps
up, a couple mbps down.  UBNT MIMO blows it away, especially with AirMax and
in a noisy environment.

When testing the MIMO you can't just run a single stream, they work best
with many streams.  We have seen about 130Mbps on a full-duplex on a
deployed link, around 15 miles, in a noisy environment.  With the PtMP
equipment, we see similar results.  With the older non-N non-MIMO equipment,
we have seen up to 100+ subs on a single PowerStation AP, all getting at
least 12Mbps/6Mbps, and latency always under 10ms.

I get it, it's a Motorola list.  We're on here because we use some of that
too.  Not much, anymore, because there are much better products out there.
I'm sure this will start a flame war, as talk of anything other than Canopy
always does, and I don't really care.  The equipment is cheap enough, if you
want to see it for yourself buy some and put it in.  When you see it works
as well as we've seen, you, too, can offer your subs 12Mbps for $25/mo and
make killer profits.  Our ROI on a new install is 1 Day.  We make money the
day it's installed.  And it just works, we never have customers calling to
complain.

Cheers!

Im sorry but i find some stated facts very difficult to believe.  the 25db vs

just 3db over noise.  MIMO based gear needs about 25 db snr ratio on both

your noise floor is -80, youll need a -55 signal to get the high performance.

bit more info on the airmax protocol fro ubiquiti:
 
Yes AirMax is the TDMA/Polling aspect of the software/hardware. This can be 
shut off. The backoff rules of the 802.11 protocol still apply to a certain 
extent (only from outside sources - inside the Ap/Client network they all have 
different time slots so they avoid collisions and hidden nodes all together.) 
 
So the polling doesnt take away the CSMA backoff mechanism of 802.11x from 
other noise sources

 MIMO (especially dual-pol) gets you much better performance.  Cell phone
 companies have been doing this for years and years.

 You're 3dB vs 25dB comment is misleading.  UBNT may need a received level
 of
 -70dBm to achieve higher speeds... but, so does a Canopy.  You can't expect
 to achieve anything on a Canopy with, say, a -97dBm signal.  Furthermore,
 UBNT will actually link around -95dBm and work, albeit slow.  Canopy will
 say SCANNING

 We have tested these products, and have networks deployed both here in the
 states and in Costa Rica.  You wouldn't think it, but Costa Rica has
 waaay more noise than we do here.  The government uses 2.4 and 5GHz for
 random things, people have way overamp'ed equipment, there are a ton of
 little WISP's, etc.  Canopy down there performs as expected... a couple
 mbps
 up, a couple mbps down.  UBNT MIMO blows it away, especially with AirMax
 and
 in a noisy environment.

 When testing the MIMO you can't just run a single stream, they work best
 with many streams.  We have seen about 130Mbps on a full-duplex on a
 deployed link, around 15 miles, in a noisy environment.  With the PtMP
 equipment, we see similar results.  With the older non-N non-MIMO
 equipment,
 we have seen up to 100+ subs on a single PowerStation AP, all getting at
 least 12Mbps/6Mbps, and latency always under 10ms.

 I get it, it's a Motorola list.  We're on here because we use some of that
 too.  Not much, anymore, because there are much better products out there.
 I'm sure this will start a flame war, as talk of anything other than Canopy
 always does, and I don't really care.  The equipment is cheap enough, if
 you
 want to see it for yourself buy some and put it in.  When you see it works
 as well as we've seen, you, too, can offer your subs 12Mbps for $25/mo and
 make killer profits.  Our ROI on a new install is 1 Day.  We make money the
 day it's installed.  And it just works, we never have customers calling to
 complain.

I'm going to call BS here... 

(1) You don't really have a "noisy" environment if you are able to run
a basic Powerstation AP with 100 subs and have it work at all. We are
on towers on hilltops that have over 120 antennas (dishes, sectors,
omnis) within a 500ft radius from our tower. 

(2) You aren't shooting 10-15 miles in a point to multi-point
configuration

(3) Your math doesn't work. 100+ subs on a Powerstation AP (even if
it's doing 130Mbps), that's 1.3Mbps per sub. There is no way _every_
speed test is 12Mbps down and 6Mbps up with 100 people connected.

(4) How many total customers do you have on wireless?

(5) Why doesn't your homepage load (www.spectrasurf.com)?

(6) Our ROI using Canopy is 0 days. :)

(7) Even one of the lead engineers at Ubiquiti said the product is
designed more for countries with little or no internet service "where
they will be happy with ISDN speeds".

I have a test setup on the way. I will test and report back what the
"real" world is on this equipment. ;)

up, a couple mbps down.  UBNT MIMO blows it away, especially with AirMax and
in a noisy environment.

When testing the MIMO you can't just run a single stream, they work best
with many streams.  We have seen about 130Mbps on a full-duplex on a
deployed link, around 15 miles, in a noisy environment.  With the PtMP
equipment, we see similar results.  With the older non-N non-MIMO equipment,
we have seen up to 100+ subs on a single PowerStation AP, all getting at

I get it, it's a Motorola list.  We're on here because we use some of that

 sectors, qty 3 
120 sectors with w/ 2 pol Mimo MIGHT be ble to deliver that same capacity as 
qty 6 non-mimo, if the channel availabilty managed to work out. But it would 
be at a penalty of less flexibilty of which channel could be used where.

The other areas I see MIMO PtMP could possibly work better than non-MIMO is 
in 5.4Ghz. MIMO's range extending benefit could be extremely useful for low 
power 5.4, which other wise was range limited, where it has 250Mhz of 
available clean spectrum to pick channels from. But here, I'd think 3x - 4x 
MIMO more useful.

Another thing worthy to re-investigate is spatial diversity benefits. In the 
past this has been pushed aside because the minimal increased performance 
benefit may not have justified the higher costs, with true cost to having 
multiple antenna, whether it be colocation cost , purchase cost, or simply 
space. However, now that smaller and cheaper antennas and higher power 
radios are being made, the performance of spacial diversity may become cost 
justified.

2009-08-18 Thread Scott Carullo

Sometimes people find that the impossible actually is possible.  The world 
used to be flat too :)

... until their understanding increased.

I have two radios on my desk that cost less than $500 for the pair 
including antennas that will do 100MB using MIMO technology.  I also find 
that given the same frequency usage I get double throughput of non MIMO 
gear.  I also find that the non-MIMO gear gets twice the throughput of the 
Trango gear I had, and that the Trango gear got more throughput than the 
last generation MOto gear etc  You get the picture :)  I'm calling this 
stuff a game changer, and its not even the Ubiquity gear (Mikrotik).  Price 
is certainly cheap enough to play with in the near future...  We shall 
see.

All things aside, should work very well for PTP BH shots for unlicensed 
gear.  I'd hate to be trying to sell a 10K unlicensed 100-300MB link right 
now with the industry changes coming about.  You could spend $1000 and get 
two of them running together for redundancy / increased throughput / full 
duplex etc (I'd use OSPF to do this).  The more expensive gear will still 
have its uses but this gear should fill a large unlicensed void that 
existed until now...

2009-08-18 Thread Scott Carullo

Tom, I believe there is a huge advantage to being able to use HPOL and VPOL 
at the same time with the same 20Mhz channel and get twice the bandwidth.  
Its sort of like your personal gps sync within the device.  Realistically 
(for me anyway) I find that if there is strong noise on a give channel and 
its close enough (same tower / site) than changing the polarity won't help 
make the freq usable any way.  Therefore I argue that MIMO (2x2) allows for 
BH use the actual more efficient use of spectrum.  I do not compare that at 
all to the same as using two different 20Mhz chunks of spectrum and argue 
that you can indeed get twice the bandwidth out of the same 20Mhz (or 40Mhz 
if your environment allows) spectrum.

I'm seeing it right now in my test gear or I'd be a skeptical as the 
bunch...  I like what I see so far but my testing has been somewhat 
limited.  I'll know a lot more this time next month.  I'm sure this 
discussion will do nothing but get more interesting in the near future when 
the rubber hits the road.

Yes, I have a "test" set of the MT with the R52n card. I was able to do
55Mbps of actual TCP throughput with a single antenna using RB411
boards. So, for about $200 for a complete link (plus antennas), you can
have a 50Mbps ptp link using a single 20mhz channel (and single
polarity).

I also saw the same results with the Bullet5M units. They are easy,
fast and should work very well for point to point links.

We do have the gear, both MikroTik and Ubiquiti.  In the test lab
situation with Ubiquiti we are only seeing 25-30MBit/s.  In real world
my customers are seeing the same thing.  I'm hoping to get another test
going tomorrow to check to see if we can do anything better than
25-30MBit/s.  I wish I had better results, but we can't get the
throughput advertised.

Problem is, Mikrotik 802.11a/b/g gets the same thing.

MikroTik's first RouterOS to feature the n protocol was slightly
lacking, but hey it's beta.  Next release came out and fixed quite a few
of the issues.  One thing we do have in play is MikroTik's 802.11n gear.
I'm using ARC dual-pol antennas, with the R5N, real world testing at 3
Miles PtP, 60+MBit/s (we don't have 100% perfect LOS, I see the top of
the 300' tower, and we're at 150' for this link).  Not bad for a set of
devices at under $500. 

I'm not trying to bash Jayson's email.  I don't see how you can get
130Mbit when the port is 100Mbit.  The only way I could imagine that a
PowerStation AP could get 100 subs with 12MB/6MB is when 99 of them are
not using it and 1 is, but even at that, I don't believe it. The simple
way the 802.11a/b/g protocol works, the beacons it sends out, wireless
frames, the so called noisy environment, that has all been portrayed
makes me extremely skeptical.

I concur with Scott's idea that you get more efficient spectrum use.

We have just installed a Solectek excel link which uses 2x2 mimo. We 
have a dual polarity 3' dish at one and and 2' dual polarity at the 
other end of the 14 mile link.

We upgraded an Alvarion VL ptp link which maxed out at about 32mb. This 
Solectek is advertised as 100+mb, and uses the same 20mhz. We were 
getting 75mbit using rb433ah as the testing devices while 15-20mbit of 
traffic was already on the link, and we didn't have the modulation all 
the way up either. It could go faster if we used PCs to test, used top 
modulation, used multiple data sources to test, weren't doing it with 
live traffic, etc... So the testing is very preliminary but the 
performance is definitely not overstated in this case.

So we've effectively tripled our bandwidth over a traditional OFDM link 
using the same amount of spectrum. We needed the speed right now and 
didn't want to wait for the UBNT product to be available and mature, and 
didn't want to be slowed down by a licensing process for a fancier high 
bandwidth system.

Whether it's useful for ptmp depends on the frequency and location. Both 
polarities are not always available for ptmp use. Sometimes this is so 
because of interference from other WISPs, sometimes it's due to your own 
spectrum management where you alternate polarities when the same 
frequeny is used in an overlapping area but from a different tower.

 Tom, I believe there is a huge advantage to being able to use HPOL and VPOL 
 at the same time with the same 20Mhz channel and get twice the bandwidth.  
 Its sort of like your personal gps sync within the device.  Realistically 
 (for me anyway) I find that if there is strong noise on a give channel and 
 its close enough (same tower / site) than changing the polarity won't help 
 make the freq usable any way.  Therefore I argue that MIMO (2x2) allows for 
 BH use the actual more efficient use of spectrum.  I do not compare that at 
 all to the same as using two different 20Mhz chunks of spectrum and argue 
 that you can indeed get twice the bandwidth out of the same 20Mhz (or 40Mhz 
 if your environment allows) spectrum.
 
 I'm seeing it right now in my test gear or I'd be a skeptical as the 
 bunch...  I like what I see so far but my testing has been somewhat 
 limited.  I'll know a lot more this time next month.  I'm sure this 
 discussion will do nothing but get more interesting in the near future when 
 the rubber hits the road.

It's available now, they are supposed to make an announcement today 
about the complete M line. NanoM/NanoLocoM/RocketM and such, those are 
all Mimo/N/TDMA.

I got 8 coming from Wisp Router but I think they're out of stock again.
Just gotta spin the Vendor Wheel and see who has it today if any.

I'll let it be out a couple months to let some bugs get worked out of a  
new product with a new operating system. Still, I'd be tempted to get a 
pair to play with.
