[WISPA] solar planning -- battery and sun calc suggestions?

2009-03-27 Thread Rogelio
I have a quad radio node that is 110V AC only, and I'm getting together what's needed in order to power it on a solar panel. Obviously, I'll need an inverter to take from 110V to 48V DC. Does anyone have any suggestions for batteries? Someone suggested some high capacity 6V ones (like they

Ok I cannot find a decent 4.9 FD radio. Looks like Ligowave, Radwin, and Redline are the top choices. On the same line of thought what are the legalities for passing commercial data over a 4.9 link if its primary function is for Government data? - Matt Matt Jenkins wrote: Does anyone know

Exalt is a good choice... but like Ligowave and Redline would be half duplex. Just like Moto would be a good choice (I actually have a PtP 400 Full connectorized link on the shelf that I am dying to sell :-) The Radwin RW2000/WL1000 are the only 4.9GHz links that I know of that are Full Duplex

There is alot of confusion here. From a RF standpoint NONE of this equipment is full duplex. From an Ethernet Port standpoint I know the exalt gives me full duplex specs. I cannot answer for Motorola or the others. The biggest thing you should look for is support, asymetrical bandwidth

Radwin radios are designed for TDM transport... that is really the market they play towards... cellular carriers. Transport is fixed to full duplex... and designed with that in mind. But from an RF standpoint you would be right since it only transmits on one channel. The Radwin gear transmits

Nope...still have the same issues. If one radio did the transmitting and the other link the receiving you would be true RF full duplex but with TDD that theory may have holes. Josh Luthman wrote: What about settings up two links side by side and using a router to make them pseudo-fdx?

The Exalt is also a TDM radio. I didn't see that Radwin was MIMO. Does it operate on the same channel or does horizontal and vertical need to be on separate channels? I agree that Radwin advertises full duplex but again that is either a mistake or sales fluff. All the equipment is TDD. And

You can stop looking. You still wont get a full duplex link. FD is the radio transmits on one channel and receives on the other. Considering there is no equipment on the Commissions list that does not do TDD or something similar you will never get true FD. -B- Matt Jenkins wrote: I am

I am aware of that. I have begun looking at using routers to do the FD part and 2 pairs of radios with filters. The advantage of this is if their is a radio failure everything could then auto route all traffic over the one remaining radio. Bob Moldashel wrote: You can stop looking. You still

Yes it is MIMO. It operates in the same channel in Horizontal and Vertical... much like Orthogon et. al. Your right though... its sales fluff (which in this case though could be helpful sales fluff). Guess I got caught up in it without really thinking about that :-) Daniel White 3-dB Networks

Randy, 24Ghz is sometimes thought of as interference free, based on its approximate 1.5 degree beamwidth at 2ft, and about 2.6 degree beamwidth at 1ft dish. The dragonwave works on 40mhz channels and allows setting to one of two channels sets (A 24078500 tx and 24173829 rx, or B 124126170 tx
