Chris, Not sure if you are already doing this...but here is my 2 cents on repeater sites. 1. Bad idea at residential locations (if the site goes down, very hard to access-unless everything is external and you have explicit written permission to enter premises 24x7). What if the owner moves? Do you get contracts signed for a specific time period?? 2. If you do go with residential repeater locations (as I do too)...then I would recommend a separate (unswitched) power connection to all equipment. You don't want the client on location to even have the possibility of turning the power off. I mount a layer 2 switch in the attic and plug it (along with my POE units) into my newly installed outlet that is tapped power off of the fire alarm system. The switch is needed for a back to back radio repeater with client on location as well. Depending on how many clients you have off of that repeater (and whether or not they are business clients), you may want to put an UPS in the attic as well. Another big reason to go with non-residential repeater locations is just the power issue. Normally, power is a little better at business locations (i.e. gas stations). Not to mention the fact that they may have backup power.

Don't go that high yet we're doing a 6 sector pop but we had some delays because of some financial issues and some problems waiting on amps... shud be done in a week I believe we don't plan on doing big like 9 or 12, 6 on this and one other main pop site but we are going to be using dedicated clients as repeaters as well as clients (we upgrade them to 5ghz and add a omni to it and walla new POP that's free except for the expense of 1 client.

Some Excellent feedback but has anyone actually tried this for real or something similar - If not how do people service hundreds of clients in one location?

That would require client antennas with very narrow vertical and AP antennas with very good polarity and f/b ratio, no? -- LarsG The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org
