Been using 900 with variable success for about 4 years now. Started with SR-9's and now have XR9 / STar-OS gear deployed. Love it. It's almost as fast as 5 gig, for a given channel size, and is incredibly better at tree penetration than is 2.4 or 5 gig.
It has limited application, due to noise being so prevalent, but where it's appropriate, it easily delivers 2x2meg to the customer @ 10 customers / 5 mhz AP with capacity to spare. It's freaky picky, with environment changes like rain, humidity, snow, fog, etc. Rain, snow, fog, ice all IMPROVE forest penetration. Longest production use is customers @ 6 miles. Otherwise, it's normally deployed in dense forest and limited to about 1 mile or 2 if you have plenty of open space, not dense forest. Noise? There's oodles of noise generators out there, often making up to 1/2 the band unusable, even in rural areas. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------- From: "Jack Unger" <jun...@ask-wi.com> Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2010 10:28 PM To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org>; <memb...@wispa.org> Subject: [WISPA] Looking for 900 MHz pioneers > Please contact me offline if you > > a) If you have long-time 900 MHz deployment experience and consider > yourself a 900 MHz pioneer, or > > b) If you have extensive experience tracking down and solving 900 MHz > interference problems. > > Thanks, > > jack > 818-227-4220 > jun...@ask-wi.com > > > > -- > Jack Unger - President, Ask-Wi.Com, Inc. > Network Design - Technical Training - Technical Writing > Serving the Broadband Wireless, Networking and Telecom Communities since > 1993 > www.ask-wi.com 818-227-4220 jun...@ask-wi.com > > > > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > WISPA Wants You!
