said by Inssomniak See Profile :

It was a small 60-70 foot tower with 2 180 degree sector antennas on it on a guys fruit farm. I was blown away.
Please ask WISP what type of equipment he is using at what TX settings. Take a few photos too.

Satellite photos of Cayuga, ON towards Lake Erie shoreline shows that some tree-tops will be inevitable in the path to most CPEs.

Otherwise, with clean LOS, I helped several WISPs do 3-5 miles across lakes and rivers with AP and CPE antennas both placed below 30ft, some at just 10-15ft. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17809189 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 19:04:09 EDT Re: Blown away by this WISP's setup! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17809152 Inssomniak : I can speculate that the area is FLAT. Ive done my own (with help from here) projected coverage and its nowhere near that of theirs, with me using 100 foot tower with 30 foot clients.

Here is coords, for kicks.

Latitude = 42.8483, Longitude = -80.2840]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17809152 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 18:56:26 EDT Re: Blown away by this WISP's setup! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17809050 PersComp : If you can give the coords, we can decide if it is just a topography advantage (as viperm suggests) or if it looks like they are doing anything illegal. :o

Well it just may be that the property sits high enouh above everything else and the added 70 ft helps even more?
Without knowing the layout and the locations I can only speculate..

Most people woth 802.11B stuff ar running anywhere from 500feet to in some cases 10 miles?

I would never do anything past 6 miles max just becuase of the noise in our area.

So if you think a mile is to much you need to expand and research a little more.

We have a 13Db sector with 100mw radio for the AP and clients are about 50mw ( old smartbridge gear) with 19Db flat panels.

Based on a service area map of that particular ISP, we found it.

It wasn't nearby. It was a small 60-70 foot tower with 2 180 degree sector antennas on it on a guys fruit farm. I was blown away.

This guy was reaching stupid distances with this tower! several miles!

Its nice to see how others are doing it, but it makes me think Im going a little overboard in my plans at the same time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17808658 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 17:25:59 EDT
