The 433 is more than adequate for 2 cards for a low usage repeater... Josh Luthman wrote: Are you saying you have two radios in the 433? Are they the same band?The 411 and 433 share the same horsepower, in case anyone didn't recognize that.

I'm using a TV tower, grain leg, etc. This means the only additional cost is a NEMA box, cheap battery, mt box and omni. Roughly $400. If I get one customer at 35/mo it takes a year for ROI. Two customers six months, etc. I typically charge 45/mo and get 3 people a day after the AP is up. Looking at my third screen I've three repeater sites (at least) with only three subs.

Schafer<o...@odessaoffice.com>wrote:15 per ap? Man I WISH I could do that out here! I barely break even on a site at 15 subs. (I really hate the sites with 3 to 5 subs on them :-( ). I think my highest site is up to 76 subs or so. Got a couple of them like that. They are certainly feeling the strain but we're out of channels in 2.4. For the busier sites I've started to install 5.8 gig systems over the top of the 2.4 and charge a little more for it. So far people would still rather go with the cheaper stuff even though it's much less consistent in it's performance. For one site I have finally broken down and just install the 5.8 and sell it at the same price as the 2.4 just so that I can get people moved. Now if I could just get more/cheaper backhaul out here. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman"<j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> To: "WISPA General List"<wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 5:59 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] New WISP Several little repeater sites I have are Mikrotik APs and Ubiquiti CPEs.

I'm not exactly sure what you are after, but I am guessing it is the billing software? We have decided to use Platypus from Tucows after many issues with our homegrown alternative. We are in the implementation phase, so we'll let you know how that goes. We have extensive knowledge and have used Trango, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, Tranzeo, and Motorola Canopy. Hands down, Motorola Canopy handles the most clients with the best throughput. Ubiquiti and MikroTik are a somewhat cheaper alternative, but work well in low-sub count situations. Feel free to give DJ a call, 800-405-9865 and he can guide you in the right direction.

We are running into two road blocks. 1 - We need to choose software that doesn't need a coder to operate 2 - Choosing the right access points and other equipment We would love to here your thoughts.
