Re: [WISPA] OT: rural WISP testers needed
Patrick, What do you have for more information. I would be interested in it. I just need to run it past Phil and Dave. Thanks, Ryan Patrick Leary wrote: Hi folks, We are looking for a handful of WISPs to do some product testing on an entirely new WISP multipoint product line from Alvarion. You need not be a current Alvarion WISP (and this is not intended for those with BreezeACCESS VL networks). The line is intended for the most cost sensitive markets, especially on the residential side. No big strings attached, but testers would be required to provide detailed feedback on performance as well as overall value. I am looking for testers who are in deep rural areas and I am interested in a sampling which could include U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. Please contact me OFFLIST, but only if you are serious. I can't offer more detail on the product in this mail, but the whole WISP market will know about it in short order. Again, please reach out offlist.

RE: [WISPA] Flexible antenna certification
(inline comments) On Wed, 2007-09-19 at 08:32 -0700, Patrick Leary wrote: Wow, that's a big surprise since it is a 180 degree contradiction to what Julie and his staff told us at the FCC after the rule was released. But I am good with it. It is a flexibility that makes sense. As a manufacturer, the only head ache is that providing tech support is more a challenge since we don't know the characteristics of substitute antennas from the stand point of best practices for co-location, separation and general performance. WISPs just need to be aware of that. I had always thought the rules on it were that way, actually I thought I had originally heard that from a Alvarion Engineer, I could be wrong though. Also I have only worked for a WISP for a year, so that change could have been made before I heard it. I remember the day some years back when Sting Communications in Maryland was forced to change out dozens of antennas at tower sites because they chose an antenna that was not part of the certified combination, even though the antenna did not violate power rules. At least this means that WISPs no longer have that risk. Instead they have the risk of authorized 3rd party vendors (someone they use because they don't know propagation models) telling/selling them the wrong antenna (not FCC certified for the gain even), and not explaining the propagation models of antennas. I went through that 2 days of troubleshooting once, and I don't want to again.

They replied that it is their interpretation that a WISP can use any antenna /of the same type and of equal or lesser gain as an antenna that is authorized with the intentional radiator. /Here's the text from 47 CRF 15.204(c)(4): Any antenna that is of the same type and of equal of less gain directional gain as an antenna that is authorized with the intentional radiator may be marketed with, and used with, that intentional radiator. No retesting of this system configuration is required. The marketing or use of a system configuration that employs an antenna of a different type, or that operates at a higher gain, than the antenna authorized with the intentional radiator is not permitted unless the procedures specified in S2.1043 of this chapter are followed. 47 CFR 15.204(c)(3) says: Manufacturers shall supply a list of acceptable antenna types with the application for equipment authorization of the intentional radiator. 47 CFR 15.204(c)(1) says: The antenna type, as used in this paragraph, refers to antennas that have similar in-band and out-of-band radiation patterns. I can see how the lab and TCB could conclude that WISPs can substitute antennas per these regulations. If the manufacturer specifies a range of acceptable antenna types (not specific makes or model numbers) then per 15.204, the WISP can select the specific make and model of antenna to use. I know FCC regulations are often somewhat vague and however it's possible that the FCC regulations may have been revised and loosened slightly since your FCC visit. Perhaps there is now a basis for the myth. jack Patrick Leary wrote: Thanks Jack.

RE: [WISPA] Anyone doing remote backup for customers?
Mac: I wonder what we are doing wrong then, we have been using RBS for 3 years, and it has been a pita. The scheduling problems have been the major problem (its scheduler is crap for us). Are you using the RBS native task scheduler, or running via Windows's task scheduler? That is the major gripe about it though, other than that it has been good.

Re: [WISPA] Anyone doing remote backup for customers?
I think Mac means more on the storage side. RBS sends encrypted files to the remote server. the type where if the key is lost, so are your files. And the files are worthless without the key. It is fine and dandy to have an encrypted network, but if the remote backup server has unencrypted files you are in trouble (If I wanted to steal data I would go for the central server rather than the single connection, bigger payday). Depending on something like simple zip file passwords is laughable at best; maybe it has better encryption than that, I don't know. That being said, except for our issues with scheduling in RBS, it has been very good.
