Is there a way to add a rule to the mail server that bounces messages with OFFLIST in the title?

I should probably just go to bed instead of posting at 2 AM

Chuck,

Just a word of friendly advice

The Canopy / WISP resale world is a competitive and brutal space -- if
your plan is to target WISPs, I'd recommend that you save the trouble
and find another vertical market or product

The "reseller" cost that you see isn't that far off of what "street
WISP" pricing is for anyone who's deploying in any decent quantity --
that's just the nature of the business

You need a minimum of $5 million / year in volume and probably close to
$500k in stock to "get in the WISP game" -- but at this point in the
game, you're in a chicken & egg situation, since I'm not quite sure how
you'd build up that volume, given that

(1) most WISPs already have pre-existing relationships with their
current suppliers, and inertia is an extremely hard thing to break

(2) any new WISP you spend the time to get going that results in any
decent volume will probably get swiped by the "bigger guys" because it
ultimately all boils down to price and financing -- and they have the
volume and pricing advantage to take you out of the market

There's a reason why Streakwave went back to focus on Mikrotik /
Ubiquiti 2 years ago

Irregardless, whether or not you choose to listen to my advice, Welcome
to the big leagues =)

-Charles

P.S. -- we need to sync up again sometime and talk about how IP Pay can
save you $$$

The cheapest I have ever seen large bulk distributor pricing with
buyback money is a little over $200 per SM except 900Mhz.  Now, if you
are looking at the Lite version SM's they certainly can be had for
cheaper.  All these WISPs claiming cheaper price is not telling the
truth.  Even Motorola disputes the price when questioned (yes I am a
distributor of Motorola products too).  Ask that WISP to buy 100 packs
    
>from them for me, I'll pay a 10% premium!
  

Also, I agree with both of you here.  Having both 900MHz Trango and
2.4Ghz MikroTik, the Trango performs very impressively with >50 clients
per AP.  I have a few AP's that are currently 100+ and they don't drop
packets, and the latency is great in comparison.  However, properly
maintained 802.11 networks do pretty well also, but I don't see them
outperforming what Trango does on clients per AP level.

Matt,

I know we have already discussed this several times, and I'm not sure we
need to do it again... but maybe you could explain how you could have
setup a plain 802.11g wireless AP so that each client (using all
different kinds of wireless adapters) could have gotten equal bandwidth
and latency at AF09?

And, once again, I have done test after test after test using 802.11
stuff... and every single time (using Mikrotik without Nstreme, using
StarOS, using OSBridge and using Nanostations) if we setup an AP and we
connect two clients with laptops and start a continuous upload, the
other client is basically dead in the water. Even if we limit the upload
to 2Mbps or 3Mbps, when that client starts the upload, the other client
has very high latency, very bad download speeds, etc.

As for price on Canopy vs. 802.11... things are not always as they seem.
I know of a large Canopy operator that is buying radios for $160 each.
;)

And, we have Trango AP's that only deliver 5Mbps total with 128 clients
and we deliver 4ms latency to every single client.

Sorry Travis, but you are dead wrong about 802.11 not being able to
scale beyond 20 users, especially with 802.11a.   I explained how it can

be done to you before and I have consulting clients with 10,000 plus
users on their 802.11 based networks scaling right up to the same size
as any Canopy or Trango network.    You might not be able to get to 150
subs per AP, but you can certainly hit 50-75 per sector and offer
service that is damn close and a far sight cheaper than what Canopy will

do.  I would take a StarOS a/b/g network over a Canopy system every day
of the week.

As far as problems at AF09 - that is what you get when Canopy guys are
running an 802.11 network.   If I was running it with the proven
equipment and deployment methods that many of us use on 802.11 networks,

there would not have been any such problems.    Just because the AF09
guys couldn't figure it out (or more likely didn't bother to try)
doesn't mean that it can't be done right.

       The problem will be that they are still plain 802.11 technology.
There
       is no polling or ARQ or FEC or anything else that makes
technology like
       Trango, Canopy and others work so well. We pulled all of our
802.11
       stuff down over 5 years ago. It does NOT scale. You will never
get an AP
       with reliable, consistent service with more than 20 users.

       In fact, I think we witnessed this at AF09. Everyone connected
to the
       same AP (48 I think was the count) and we continually got
disconnected
       and the speeds and latency were terrible. Could there be a
better "real
       world" experience than that? :)

               I deployed my first Bullet5 today.   Not the high power,
but the
               standard.

               throughput testing showed insignificant difference
between my
               Star-OS/WAR1
               combo and the Bullet.   The AP shows that the Bullet has
active
               compression
               and fast frames that functions with my star-os access
point.

               I have not tried the narrower channels to see if they're
compatible with
               my star-os AP's.

               They have been certified with up to 30 db antennas.

               Summary...  1 bullet5,  1 pacwireless 25 db grid
w/pigtail, 1 universal
               mount = very cheap 5 ghz cpe - about $130 - 140
complete.   Even
               nicer???

               The bullet slides down INTO the universal mount pipe,
becoming invisible
               after you mount and aim it.

                Just FYI...  The Bullet does NAT and has a DHCP server
built in.   No
               need
               for a router, allows you to have a fully routed network.

               Opinion.... I like them.
