So you multiply 15W x hours in a month (about 720) getting 10800 watt-hours. Divide by 1000 to get 10.8KW Hours per month. e...@wisp-router.com wrote: > about 15watt total consumption from what you have there. 5w for the RB, then > 5watt per radio card (actually little less but no more). > > /

Re: [WISPA] electricity usage calculator

Brian, I have a tower site that has its own electric meter since 3 years ago. Have had several AP's and Backhaul's on it and the meter still reads 0, 3 years later. Electric company thought I wasn't reading the meter and sent a guy out to re-calibrate it. He said it was accurate. Kurt Fankhau

[WISPA] electricity usage calculator

I have a new tower site and the owner ask how much electric I will use. How can I calculate that? For now all I will have is one 24v 2amp power supply going to a rb433ah with an xr2 omni and a xr5 backhaul. I can roughly guess the price per kilowatt hr but I need to get an estimate on kw/hr firs

Re: [WISPA] How much to charge for a truck roll

I never used to charge for a lot of that stuff but then one day I said screw it.  $75 for a service call.  I had some complaints, started lowering the price for 5 minute repairs and decided on another change.  I now do $50 service calls.  I decided instead of getting complaints about $75 or low

Re: [WISPA] How much to charge for a truck roll

Oh my! We could never get away with charging anywhere near that! If we sent our customers a bill like that they would call up the bigger wisp in this area that is doing free installs and just switch. Not to mention the DSL here is $20/month. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O. Box 126 Bucyrus, OH 44820

Re: [WISPA] Insurance on equipment

I carry a very high deductible (like $10K per incident). I keep insurance strictly for liability coverage and for catastrophic coverage like if our office burns down or a tornado comes through and wipes everything out. My rates are low and I do not plan to ever make a claim. Insurance companies are
