Re: [Bus. Ops] Tower Space If 3.65 isn't WiMax then why is it listed as such: »www.google.com/search?q=wimax+3.65ghz ??? So according to equipment manufacturers, yes it would be WiMax. It's unlicensed WiMax at that. It's something that many WiSPs are now using, especially in the Midwest region to overcome the 2.4 and 5.8 issues with how crowded they have become.
2nd- I have been around before, and actually had another account on here until I changed names and deleted the former account. I've built an WiSP before but it was on 2.4 using YDI (was back in early 2002/3 around the time of the East Coast Blackout). I only exited the business/industry at that time due to becoming ill.
3rd- How am I giving off the impression I'm a mega-corp/use? Because of the plans that I have? Well as the saying goes- Go big/plan big or go home. To me there is no reason on why I can't have a plan and put it out to the public. And I'm not hiding how big I am. No where do I state that I'm a mega corp or anything. I even mention on the website that the number listed is a Google Voice number, no massive company is going to use a GV number. My backhaul is being planned currently and I'm working with several network engineers along with obtaining other frequencies for the backhaul. I also have a 1gig connection to the Internet. I'm also not trying nor plan on trying to cheat people out of tower rent, so I'm not sure how you managed to obtain that information, it was never implied nor mentioned. I simply asked a question especially since I posted before I was a very small company. Which you can find that on the post I made about caching.
Lastly- I know that you guys are on here to help, as I've said, I've been on here for more than 7 years and used another name. I was even on this site and on this section when Kory from VA was on here building out his hotspot network using Sputnik.
If I came across the wrong way I apologize, but as I have said, I have done my research before, and have been again. I've also been following what's going on and what I can and can not do.

Huh? Just cuz WiMax often uses 3.65GHz, does not make all 3.65GHz products WiMax. WiMax is a technology, not a frequency and Ubiquiti does not make WiMax.
Huh? Unlicensed in what way? Are you saying Ubiquiti is stealing the technology and not licensing it?

| did not say that. I said it's unlicensed as far as not the same as a 2.5 network that Clear uses. And are you implying I said something I didn't? |

said by TBBroadband:If 3.65 isn't WiMax then why is it listed as such As was already stated, WiMax is a specific technology, and can be used on many different frequencies. The most common is 3.65 Ghz, but Clear runs it on 2.5 Ghz and a telcom near me ran a WiMax network on 700 Mhz. The equipment UBNT sells is simply 5 Ghz 802.11a/n converted to a 3.65 Ghz frequency, which doesn't make it WiMax. It's the equivalent of taking two wheels off of your car and saying you have a motorcycle.
In addition to not being WiMax or 4G, UBNT's marketing is also deceptive and is presented in a "better than best case" scenario. You'll never be able to sustain 100mbps in a PTMP setup using their equipment. If you sell your service as such, and are under the impression that it will deliver what you are advertising, you'll probably be extremely disappointed when you start setting up customers and find that it falls way short.

Which you can find that on the post I made about caching. Just saying that some of the wording on your site makes you sound much bigger than you explained in your topic about caching. And your ideas about the caching, while valid ideas, are WAY above and beyond your current size that it sounded like you were dreaming way too big. Didn't mean anything negative by it.
said by TBBroadband:Lastly- I know that you guys are on here to help, as I've said, I've been on here for more than 7 years and used another name. Again, my reply wasn't meant to attack you. It was simply me trying to offer my suggestions based on some incorrect assumptions.

I've also been following what's going on and what I can and can not do. Sorry if I'm giving the impression I'm saying you have no experience. All I can base my assumptions off of are your two recent topics here. While you may have some knowledge from your prior experience, the big issue right now is the 3.65ghz/WiMax confusion. Once we get past that, I think it will be much easier to make more progress. |

Ummm...No. WiMax is a proprietary **technology**. It is not necessarily specific to any particular band. Just because a product is 3.65 GHz or "4G" does not automatically qualify it as WiMax. |
