Re: [WISPA] Single radio or multiple radios in the same box?

2010-09-02 Thread Jason Hensley
I just swapped a couple of overloaded Deliberant Duos for a couple of
Deliberant Quads.  Three sectors on 2.4 (h-pol) channels 1,6,11 and the 4th
radio for the backhaul.  Service on one particular customer went from barely
getting 1meg down, 512up to almost 5meg down and 4meg up.  This has been
consistent across the board.  Not sure what the inside of the quads look
like - haven't been in them - but I know their performance is great and
self-interference seems to be almost non-existent.

Different bands seems to work just fine and no interference issues that way

Re: [WISPA] Single radio or multiple radios in the same box?

2010-09-01 Thread Mike
If you could manage to get each radio card in its own Faraday shield you
could make it work.  You could put multiple router boards and cards in the
same box separated by a stainless steel plumber's mesh.  You have to take
pains to ground the mesh to the box. The problem is de-sense to the
receivers from the transmitters. 

I have built a number of 2.4 "repeater" type devices with two Deliberant
cards in a PAC Wireless "pocket" antenna.  One is connected to the internal
antenna, and the other is connected to a short "ducky" I glue to the inside
of the plastic cover at the top.

I use them to do site surveys.  The main radio connects to the tower, and
the second radio creates a "hotspot" to wirelessly connect to a laptop.

I will sometimes set the main radio SSID to "any" and put the MAC of the
second radio in its "do not allow" list.  I keep one of these in my Jeep in
case I need to make a quick connection to the Internet from hostile
territory.  It's amazing how many open access points a 19 dB antenna will
find -- even in the small towns I frequent.

Friendly Regards,
 
Mike

Reading the forums, especially the UBNT ones, I got some ideas about 
what might work.  Here's my recollection.

Just from the look of them, the UBNT radio cards seem to have more 
shielding than MTs, but the MTs might have enough.  One of the big 
problems in this case is the pigtails.  The stock ones are cheap, 
leaky coax.  One guy routinely puts multiple radios on the same band 
into one Routerboard, but he either builds his out pigtails out of 
double-shielded coax, or he uses selected Laird ones.  (Some Lairds 
are better than others, so they need testing.)

For $15-20, a real premium-quality pigtail could be a bargain.  Not 
that I know of anyone selling them.

There were also reports that the RB433 had problems that didn't show 
up in the RB600 or RB800.  This might be that on the RB433, cards are 
so close together that they touch, which is bad..  One guy stuck a 
toothpick between the adjacent cards.

The plastic UBNT antennas are somewhat leaky too; best results even 
with separate radios come from using RF Armor or other shields.

BTW I'm doing a design now with outdoor Routerboards, and hope to 
have multiple cards per box, so hearing about real experience with 
these or other tricks is alwasy helpful.

Re: [WISPA] Single radio or multiple radios in the same box?

2010-08-18 Thread RickG
I love UBNT. I've been upgrading backhauls to RocketM's and CPE to BulletM's
and/or NanoM's. Customers keep mentioning the network seems faster & faster.
The word on the street is we're faster than cable & dsl! The only issue I've
had so far is that the legacy radios dont like UBNT AP's.

If you can avoid it, don't put two radios on the same band, in the same
enclosure. A 2.4 and 5.3 are okay, but if you have two 2.4 radios (for
example) you may have weird cross-talk and interference issues. 

If you're not sure, just put up that second board; it's only a couple
hundred bucks, and could save you a lot of headaches.

Depends on the radio, but the Mikrotik R52N cards have been a bit "flaky" -
mostly weird problems where the receive sensitivity doesn't seem to be as
good as some of their older cards.

Why not use N radios?  If you don't like UBNT Rockets, then look at
Mikrotik 411s with Baltic Networks' Ubitik device.  You can buy the UBNT

There was a discussion here not to long ago about interference with
using two radios in one rb. As I recall there is interference but
someone had a solution. I am sure someone will chime in or you could

[WISPA] Single radio or multiple radios in the same box?

2010-08-18 Thread Paolo Di Francesco
Hi all,

in our point-to-point links, we have always used one single radio per
routerboard and that worked nicely.

Obviously using 2 radios in the same RB (e.g. RB433) is not a bad idea,
the cost is lower, but I was wondering if this can lead to some
interference considering that the radios could be working on adjacent
channels.

that's why I would appreciate any suggestion about multiple radios on
the same routerboard.

Thank you in advance
