Re: [WISPA] OT: Cell Phone Repeaters.

I have a repeater in my car for my Nextel phone, and while it doesn't 
make the signal perfect, it does change  a 2 bar area into a 4 or 5 bar 
area, and the deadspots are much smaller. It cost about $179.00.

Have any of you guys installed cell phone repeaters for places 
before? I have a boat dock that needs Verizon cell phone service 
repeated but have no clue to really go about doing it. We have spoke 
to Wilson Antenna and they say we need at least a -80dB or so on our 
handheld cell phone to be able to repeat it. Just wondering if anyone 
else has done this before and what kind of results they have had? TIA.

 Ralph,

 I have placed you on moderation.  I will approve or disapprove all of 
 your
 posts to this public list.  I expect your cooperation in this 
 matter.  By
 the way, we did make a change to Article 2 of the Code of Ethics this
 morning in our board meeting in response to your pleas.  I'm sure it 
 isn't
 enough to satisfy you but it is the best we can do at this time.  WISPA
 represents all WISPs and will seek to guide them into compliance through
 various means.  This will be continued discussion with the FCC on rule
 modification, pressuring vendors to certify all systems and hardware and
 educating the members on the importance of certification.  This will 
 not be
 a quick process and may take years to accomplish.  I hope you realize 
 that
 your comments are driving more people away from WISPA than they are
 educating.  Please keep your comments and discussions civil.  While 
 you may
 be completely legal with your compliance, your tact and lack of 
 politeness
 on the list is disgraceful, thus in my opinion, you are no better 
 than any
 non-compliant WISP in our fold.  If you want to be perceived as a
 professional then you need to start acting professional.

 I have not moderated your posts on the member's only list as it is a 
 private
 list.  However, I expect the same degree of proper decorum on that 
 list as
 well.

 Respectfully,

RE: [WISPA] OT: Cell Phone Repeaters.

2007-09-06 Thread Ty Carter Lightwave Communications
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.

It me offlist if you want more...

I've looked into it.  Not done so yet but I keep thinking it would be cool 
to try something like that with a yagi going back to the main tower and an 
omni, or even another yagi, for local service.


I keep thinking about putting a booster setup like that in my car too.  grin

Have a look at this link.
I think you'll find this to be what you seek. It's very straight forward
and non-technical.

I am wondering. If you put in a repeater... can you charge a roaming fee to
the provider/subscriber?

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.

It me offlist if you want more...

RE: [WISPA] OT: Cell Phone Repeaters.

2007-09-06 Thread D. Ryan Spott
My father-in-law lives in Northern Idaho completely off-grid. He uses this
little device for his home phone:

http://www.coolproductz.com/

You plug your Cell-phone into it and it becomes a little CO for your home.
You plug the device into any of your home phone wires (as long as you are
not connected to the telco) and then all of the normal handsets plugged into
the phone wiring in your house can dial out via the cell phone.

My FIL has a yagi attached to his cell-socket to boost the gain to the
nearest cell tower, about 18 miles away.

We have one in our ambulance so the medics can use a normal wired princess
handset while performing patient care. (You would be amazed at how much
anxiety a high tech piece of equipment like a cell phone can bring to the
average firefighter/Medic!) The neighboring fire district runs a 900Mhz
portable phone so they can bring it into homes with them.

This device does not support fax or modems from what I can tell.

I've looked into it.  Not done so yet but I keep thinking it would be cool 
to try something like that with a yagi going back to the main tower and an 
omni, or even another yagi, for local service.

I keep thinking about putting a booster setup like that in my car too.  grin

I've seen dual band setups.

Please be aware there are legal implications for unauthorized repeating
or broadcasting of a cell providers frequency.

And to address Ryans question; NO, you can not.

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.

In my area, there are a lot of people who have phones with external
antenna connectors. A lot of them have a 8-13db yagi outside, mounted
high, with a cable run and pigtail to connect to their phone. 

Verzion and Centennial, while not exactly happy about it, do provide
the needed info to get it working. Else the user will quit...

   I think I will forward Harnish your email since it is obvious you are

Verzion and Centennial, while not exactly happy about it, do provide the

Ralph - you need to just learn how to keep your mouth shut sometimes. I 
don't care if I get banned or not, but your posts and tone towards others on 
this list has become absolutely annoying. You are responsible for many on 
this list not posting at all anymore. I don't know who the hell you THINK 
you are but what have YOU done for this industry ? What have you done for 
WISPA ? What have you done for this public list other then make it a less 
enjoyable place for others since you been around ?


It's easy for someon to come on here and blab their mouth and make the 
arrogant/obnoxious comments as you do at times when they don't do CRAP for 
this organization or this industry. You are one of those that is out for 
yourself. Your posts are meaningless to me at this point and I am not the 
only one who has this opinion.


I don't appreciate how you bash others with your petty posts about 
compliance or non-compliance, like you are 1 step above the ones that are 
either half way compliant or not compliant. Your motorola radios are FCC 
Certified but they also TRASH any useable band they operate in ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 
! Almost ANY non-compliant equipment builders out there operate systems that 
are much more co-location friendly, they allow multiple people in the areas 
to operate on the same frequencies. Stick a pipe in it already 
Compliant systems


Do me and 100s of others a favor and go do some work, keep your mouth shut 
unless you have something valuable to share. Apparently you have MUCH too 
much time on your hands.

RE: [WISPA] OT: Cell Phone Repeaters.

2007-09-06 Thread Scottie Arnett


Wow guys. Didn't mean to cause a rukus. Anyways, thanks to everyone that
constructively replied on and off list.

The boat dock sits down in a hollow and the reception is terrible. 1 bar in
most places if you hold your head just right. Wilson told us how to put our
phone in service mode to show the dB of the signal and it was around -93dB
on the dock. They said we needed it at least around -80dB or better. On the
hill above the dock, we raised up about 35ft in our bucket truck and got
-78dB or so; therefore, they will need a tower put up. The dock is about
200ft LOS from the top of the hill and Wilson says that their product will
reach about 250ft radius. They are planning on using a yagi to pick up the
signal and an omni to repeat it. Equipment pricing is going to be in the
$2000 to $3000 range from Wilson.

I want to buy this from a reputable company and make sure that it is legal.
I thought some of you guys may have done this type of work before and could
offer me some other alternatives or suggestions? Wilson says they can't be
for sure that it will work good at the dock because it is very near the
reach of their equipment. We have already spoke with Verizon and they do not
have a problem with it as long as its done within legal limits. Another dock
about 3 miles up the lake already has a Wilson system installed and working,
but they had a better receive signal than the dock I am working on.

Yea Charles, this is a nice boat dock with some $300,000+ house boats at it.
They are building a floating restaurant and have poured over a half mil
into it already and its not 3/4 of the way done. The repeater is to provide
service inside this restaurant and the houseboats around it.

2007-09-06 Thread Rick Harnish
Ralph,

I have placed you on moderation.  I will approve or disapprove all of your
posts to this public list.  I expect your cooperation in this matter.  By
the way, we did make a change to Article 2 of the Code of Ethics this
morning in our board meeting in response to your pleas.  I'm sure it isn't
enough to satisfy you but it is the best we can do at this time.  WISPA
represents all WISPs and will seek to guide them into compliance through
various means.  This will be continued discussion with the FCC on rule
modification, pressuring vendors to certify all systems and hardware and
educating the members on the importance of certification.  This will not be
a quick process and may take years to accomplish.  I hope you realize that
your comments are driving more people away from WISPA than they are
educating.  Please keep your comments and discussions civil.  While you may
be completely legal with your compliance, your tact and lack of politeness
on the list is disgraceful, thus in my opinion, you are no better than any
non-compliant WISP in our fold.  If you want to be perceived as a
professional then you need to start acting professional.

I have not moderated your posts on the member's only list as it is a private
list.  However, I expect the same degree of proper decorum on that list as
well.

Respectfully,
Rick Harnish
List Moderator

Amen!
But remember the rules don't bother a lot of people on this list. They were

Thanks Blake.. That is what I was dancing round in my post... there are
homegrown yagi from ~$400 but that will not fly on the legal front...

Please be aware there are legal implications for unauthorized repeating or
broadcasting of a cell providers frequency.

And to address Ryans question; NO, you can not.

1.  You are not authorized to proxy on behalf of
2.  You don't own the freq.
3.  You don't have the subscriber

Shall I go on...

Be prepared...

In order to do it legally, there are some hoops to jump through.

 Have any of you guys installed cell phone repeaters for places before?
I 
 have a boat dock that needs Verizon cell phone service repeated but
have 
 no clue to really go about doing it. We have spoke to Wilson Antenna
and 
 they say we need at least a -80dB or so on our handheld cell phone to
be 
 able to repeat it. Just wondering if anyone else has done this before
and 
 what kind of results they have had? TIA.
