[WISPA] New Members

We started a Membership Drive campaign on May 1st. Our goal was to gain 100 new members for WISPA by WISPAPALOOZA. We are doing well, but still have a ways to go. We would love some help from the other members. If you have neighbor wisps in your area that you know are not members yet, please

Re: [WISPA] Internet Speed test..are they inaccurate with wireless?

Matt, How much bandwidth on average are you seeing to your speed test servers? We're considering becoming a speedtest.net host, but are concerned about the amount of bandwidth generated by users outside our network. -- Blake Covarrubias On Aug 22, 2012, at 9:54 AM, Matt Jenkins wrote: > We s

Light them up through the windows from across the street. We have done this to hotels that have rules like that. They are not in control of radio waves coming in, just physical access to the building. On 8/22/2012 9:44 AM, Chris Stradtman wrote: > this is actually inside a structure not on top

Re: [WISPA] Question about ISM and UNII

Interestingly the property management company was caught caught by the all RF line in the contract as they wanted to sell wifi and was told they couldn't as per the contract They didn't understand the repercussions of the phrase "all RF" when they signed the contract. It's also like a 20 o

Re: [WISPA] Question about ISM and UNII

It's certainly the case that a building owner can control whether radios or other wireless gear are installed on their property and they can lease any or all of those rights to anyone they please. However, they can't control the RF signals going into and through their building from elsewhere.

Re: [WISPA] Question about ISM and UNII

The Commission had a real problem with exclusivity arrangements by carriers similar to this that prevented co-location a few years back. I don't know what the outcome was. Same situation where carriers were saying other landline carriers could not enter a location because they had exclusive ri

Re: [WISPA] Internet Speed test..are they inaccurate with wireless?

We setup a speedtest server. So when customers connect to speedtest.net they reach our local server. The test data never leaves our network. On 08/21/2012 12:27 PM, Joey Craig wrote:

Re: [WISPA] Question about ISM and UNII

Yes, They can contract that with the building/tower owner. All it means is if you want to go on the tower you can't use those frequencies. You can erect a structure on the next available land plot and use them. Matt Hoppes Director of Information Technology Indigo Wireless +1 (570) 723-7312

[WISPA] Question about ISM and UNII

Folks, I'm dealing with a situation in a structure where an incumbent cell carrier is claiming full control of the RF spectrum (if I understand correctly from 3 kHz to 300 GHz ). This claim is based on a contract with the b

Re: [WISPA] Internet Speed test..are they inaccurate with wireless?

For us this is the biggest one. I will have customer call, speedtest says 384K. Look at the radio and we are pushing 2.04M in on a 2M connection. "Ask your kids to turn off all their devices and try again." "Oh, wow, I am getting the full 2M now. What did you change?" Then the long explanat
