are the details on the upcoming meeting...
Date:
Saturday, December 11, 2010
Location:
Domain Hotel, Sunnyvale, CA

Rooms are available at $79/night.
Schedule:

Thanks. It's not old. It's just years. I've been a ham for about 60
years and ran 25 yearly Marathons until 5 years ago (overcoming having
been in an iron lung at the end of WWII and deciding to fix it...
finally).
When I start talking about grandkids or pets...please stop me. I hate
that.
If you have 100% Fresnel Zone 1 clearance, instead of 60% FZ1 which is
the usual parameter over land, you are probably good to go.
As these sites are more prone to rust, I would strongly prefer
integrated units instead of dish antennas; Ubiquiti Powerbridge M

You rock, by the way.

Look at 900MHz. It's my understanding that 900MHz is crazy good over water.

well today there are multiple ways to do this... which don't have to
involve BGP.
However you would need some dynamic routing protocol.. RIP/OSPF etc..
But can be done via active scripts that modify static routes as well.

This can be solved by utilizing a dynamic DNS service.

If you're handing out public IPs to customers then you will need to run BGP to
properly failover between multiple upstreams. Most ISPs require you purchase a
dedicated circuit before they will run BGP with you.
If all of your customers are behind NAT then you don't need BGP. With NAT

It's for a backup. Different than BGP. For our customers it's used when
the choice is slower alternate internet vs. no internet.
Yeah, the people that still need outside access have to know both possible
IP addys. More likely they just get a few hours off. grin

Just a quick note. It seems that most wifi based systems that I've used do NOT
detect constant carrier signals. So a mechanism that is always on will kill
them but not show up as noise in the stats.
A spectrum analyzer is a mission critical device sometimes.

Look for an internal wireless system that's drowning out the AP.
Think x10 camera or other similar system.
Do you have a spectrum analyzer that you can look with?

We had this with Tranzeo CPQ radios in router mode. The new sites open too
many streams and overwhelm the routers.
Starting to see some Linksys one's do it too.
Using the latest and greatest firmware fixed the problems. Usually.
Sometimes it's time to upgrade the hardware though.
