Hold your Horses there Sir Patrick! There was one comment that
used that in
their post - I don't think that "we" as an industry have evolved
to that
level of degradation in dealing with the laws of the land & air.
There will
always be renegades in every avenue of life, but "we" are not in that
classification :-) and given a little time we will be someone to
be reckoned
with as the industry leader in wireless across this country.
I must admit that I have learned a few things in the past week -
or had
some things clarified that were quite an awakening for me and a
few others.
I (for one) will not deploy even one more piece of hardware that
is not FCC
certified. I have in the last year deployed many unlicensed access
points &
back haul radios though. I made a terrible mistake in doing that,
but I was
under a false impression of what was "legal." The path we will
follow from
this point on is what is really going to count.
I do happen to know of two manufacturers who have gear at FCC
certification
labs today undergoing their certifications for some specific
pieces of their
gear. This is something that should have taken place a couple
years ago, but
now is better than never. I realize that is not going to affect
the gear I
have in the air today from these guys as it can not be certified -
ever -
even if they happen to get the exact gear certified that I have on
towers
today.
I think this last visit WISPA members (Thanks men) made to the FCC
clarified
several things that needed clarification:
1. FILLOUT THOSE FORMS!
The FCC is not out to get us. They need the data that only we
can supply
them - like who we are, where we are (zip code), how many subs...Etc
This is their way of helping us. With out this data they can only
guess how
many "we" are, how many we serve and the actual coverage area
total. Guys -
y'all please fill out the form 477 - - it's a good thing for us all.
2. WE ARE NOT LEGAL EVEN IF WE ARE NOT OVER POWERED OR OUT OF BAND.
I am not going into any details here because that is stated
just as
simple as it can get.
Sincerely,
Mac Dearman

Subject: [WISPA] Following the FCC rules are now simply about being
"stickerconscious" or not??
"Sticker conscious?" So this is what we've become as an industry?
Following the very clear laws, which were once again just
reiterated to
us after another in a long chain of WISP visits, or not has now been
reduced to simply being "sticker conscious" or "not sticker
conscious"?
Why not go further and call yourself "Illegal and proud" or just "I
don't give a ____"? Let's not have any more "gee, I can't afford
to be
legal!" That's not an argument that is credible today, with the range
from legal cheap to premium CPE running from about $170 to sub-
$300 --
that's cheap.
My God, 5.4 is going to be a massive mess. OET will have to install a
special phone line just to handle the incoming DoD complaint calls.

RB112+CM9+Rootenna if you are not sticker conscious.
If you are sticker conscious I use the Tranzeo TR5a-24/20 with MT/CM9
setups and they work great.
