Re: [AFMUG] Wind Farm Experiences

We have one 17 mile ptp that's effectively failed, but it happens there are three turbines directly in the path, I don't think that's all that common, just a stroke of bad luck.

Luckily for us our server room is on an exterior wall, opening the window is all we have been able to do. But we should probably be running a dehumidifier. There is a compressor heater we can buy, but the hvac guy didn't know where On Wed, Aug 15, 2018, 11:38 AM Dave wrote: > What about doing so

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Firmware Release Notices?

If you are a member on the Cambium forums, you can subscribe to the forums for the specific hardware platforms, and Cambium is usually good about posting there when they release a new firmware – I find it helpful, even if the signal-to-noise ratio is a little weak. From: AF [mailto:af-boun.

I think that’s my biggest issue here also. Trying to be as unbiased in the matter as possible, the biggest issue I have is that they brought a Dist. and WISP into the lawsuit. I think if this was filed solely against Cambium, everyone would have gone, ‘oh, that’s interesting, wonder what’s goi

Re: [AFMUG] Dear WISPA...

We'll see what facts come out in court I suppose. If there was actual hacking or reverse engineering going on then Ubiquiti has a case.  If it's just loading a different Linux build on the same hardware, then I don't think they do. They would feel compelled to try to protect their investment in

Re: [AFMUG] Dear WISPA...

The only potentially legitimate issue is with the bootloader, and then only with regard to version. The old bootloader was open source GNU, and would load anything. Rolling back to an old bootloader would be all you have to do to avoid the hacking claim. b

You could try reaching out to Epic Games on the NANOG list. I could see "bad things" happening if they see a bunch of folks connecting from the same IP/block at the same time. For bandwidth, low latency to Epic's servers and symmetric bandwidth for game traffic is probably best since they'll all

Hi Ben, That is my main point. when i first heard about the lawsuit i didn't think much of it because competitors sometimes sue each other and they are both big companies and big companies usually build risks like that into their business models. When i dug further into the lawsuit and saw that

[AFMUG] Mounting large antenna into concrete

So our amateur radio "Wi-Fi" (+similar protocols) group has gotten access to the roof of a large building where we plan to install mounts outside the walls of the concrete-walled elevator shack for our smaller antennas. We have heavy-duty mounts - http://www.ventevinfra.com/ shop/files/products/t

Re: [AFMUG] Dear WISPA...

Funny thing here is that this is finally a correct usage of the word hack or hacking. Of course hacking isn't at all illegal when you are hacking hardware that you own. Not sure where UBNT has a case here. At most there is a possible end user EULA violation, which isn't illegal and has nothing t

A 20' long rectangle 2 inches wide has slightly less square area than a 2' dish. If your mount is comfortably holding a 2' dish then it ought to hold the 20' omni. Not engineering advice, just an observation about geometry. -Adam On 8/16/2018 4:51 PM, Colin Stanners wrote: So our amateur rad

Same area; way bigger moment arm. We have put 2' and 3' antennas into concrete. We used solid standoffs (like this), and IIRC, we used 5" long concrete anchors. bp On 8/16/2018 2:00 PM, Adam Moffett wrote: A 20' long rectangle 2

Re: [AFMUG] Mounting large antenna into concrete

Through bolts and a plate is probably ideal but overkill for that antenna. Sound like a DB224-B. Anyway, I would use concrete anchors like Bill said.Redhead is a good brand. They also do make a concrete lag that is pretty big that I have used before but the way those work they are one shot deals. I
