Re: Finally Made It
Would the same hard nose tactics work in a residential area? Or only in commercial zones?
BTW....That IS a real truck! If only the SVT Lightnings came with an extended cab!!!

While that truck is very nice, I think my 06 Silverado is nicer, LOL!

I have the Cold Air Intake the Dual exhaust is on order. I should be putting out 375 HP by the time it is done.
The only complaint right now it the fuel tank.....she is awfully thirsty when getting on the throttle.
Thanks for all the compliments. I hope that I can pass along what I have learned from everybody here.
VariableARK I hope that you can get around your tower issue. It is not fair that only the Big Boys get what they want. Let us all stick it to the man. |

| I am primarily servicing a rural area. I have equipment installed on 2 water towers (4 x 5.8Ghz sectors per tower) and the town council was very easy to deal with. They are expanding the highway system from Ottawa and the towns were more than happy to help me out. I guess more options to offer the community. Cable and DSL has sporadic coverage with in town and I do have a couple of APs to serve, but I am not pursuing. The other towers that I am using are farm silos and existing customer towers in the 40-50 ft range.
My main concentration on Lake (where I live) about 10 kms outside of town. I am projecting about 350-450 clients (of approx 1700 residents) on the lake alone and approx 100 client in other areas.
This summer will be the determining factor as to whether I give up my full time job with Alcatel-Lucent and stay with the network.
My advertising is only by word of mouth and I am installing on average 3 clients a week. Now that daylight saving is coming in maybe I can bump that up to 4-5. Need to keep time to enjoy the truck and my wife, but she is leaving for Japan and Korea for 1.5 months. |

| I am sure you will. I have been following some of your postings over the last while. How are you progressing now? A couple of months ago you celebrated your first customer.
There are also a number of new networks started in the last year on this forum. How is everybody doing? What issues have you come across? What would you do differently?
The one mistake that I made was trying to grow too big too fast. I hired a sales rep that was getting potential customers all over the place. Had to put the harness on him to slow him down and concentrate on teh ares that I want. |

You only want 17 customers? Don't push yourself too hard.  |

said by Airplane777 :I only hope I can do 1/10 as good as you. Bob, you will get there too. I have a serious issue right now, as I have customers waiting and I never even spent a nickel on advertising. At first I wondered how I was ever going to make it?, but know, I have no idea how I am going to keep up?. Couple that with a radio shortage!. While I didn't order yet, I heard it thru the grapevine that radio stock was low?. If that is true?, both DLB and Rich's supply are looking grim and I am not sure were to go next for radios. I would never "cheat" on either vendor, so maybe I will just flash a few WRTG54's until I can verify the supposed "shortage"?. I had a lull in activity for the last 2 months and now it is crazy. I am sure both Rich and Caleb thought I closed up shop as I didn't order anything for weeks from either one( I added a few Raylink users, but no DSSS ones). Now all of the calls are coming from all of my DSSS PoP's, so I need to do something, as I am even out of spares and I had to use a 2400Maxx AP as a client radio!.

Dresden, TN | Tim,
Doubleradius claims to have a great deal of delib gear on hand. We placed an order in last friday for a new pop(i'm finally going to give 2.4 another chance, had some really bad experiences with orinoco) all the gear was delib.

»www.Titanwirelessonline.com. They stock Delib also. They have always been a pleasure (for me) to work with if you have not used them before. |
