<title>RB 433AH Auto Reboot</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20966221</link>
<description><![CDATA[Greetings!

We acquired two RB 433AH and each of them w/ two XR2. This was ordered around a month and a half ago and we laid them aside on the desk all of this time. However, finally last Friday we had time to hang one of them with two sectors.  

After accessing to the OS with winbox and while I was doing the initial configuration part, suddenly the RB rebooted by itself two or three times in a short period of time&#133;

Than after the last auto reboot occurred, we tried to access the OS many times but at the end we didn&#146;t had any success. This happen at the end of the day, so we just decided to continue with this issue this upcoming Monday... 

Any ideas ?

Thanks.]]></description>

<title>Opinion on CPE</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20978189</link>
<description><![CDATA[I&#146;m looking at new client setups and would like some input. If you had these three setups to choose from as client units what would you chose and why?

Mikrotik RB-411 + Compex WLM54G + 15db panel or 19db dish
Wiligear WBD-500 + 15db panel or 19db dish
Ubiquiti NS2 + 15db panel or 19db dish]]></description>

<title>High Pings Until Reboot of Client or AP</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20976472</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a link where the pings eventually get higher (in the 100's) and it drops my throughput until I reboot either the client or the AP then it works fine again for a while.  I tried dropping the power down to 50 mw on both sides but that has not helped much.  My signal is -79 on client side using a Tranzeo CPQ-19 and -72 on the AP side using a High Gain radio with 15 db flat panel antenna.

There are no hills blocking the link.  There may be a little bit of trees but I have seen links with lots of trees in the past work much better than this.  This is a 1.7 mile link.

Does anybody know how I can remedy this situation?]]></description>

<title>Should I deploy wimax or wait?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20957950</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm starting up my wisp, we will be building out our first site. I'm looking at equipment and I've pretty much decided to use Canopy Advantage, but i started thinking about WIMAX... Do you think it's smart to deploy wimax this early in the game? Or should i wait and let someone else be the guinea pig?

What are the advantages i might see on 3.65ghz wimax over say canopy advantage 5.2/5.4/5.7.

I want to make the best choice for myself, as i'm pretty limited in funds and the wrong decision might end my business before it even takes off.

I'm using a 300' tower, with the radios mounted around ~200' and want to cover ATLEAST 10miles LOS, ~2 miles NLOS would be excellent, but I'll take what I can get.

Thanks,

TJ]]></description>

<title>[Bus. Ops] 477 Changes</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20672728</link>
<description><![CDATA[FCC Mandates Broadband Reporting Changes

Three months after approving significant changes in the reporting requirements for broadband subscribership, the FCC finally released its order amending the Form 477. Instead of reporting subscribers by ZIP Code, broadband providers will be required to report the number of broadband connections by Census Tracts. Additionally, providers must categorize subscribers based on the technology and speeds of the broadband connection. Wireless carriers are required to report the number subscribers whose plans allow them to access the Internet. Interconnected VoIP providers are required to report information about the number of subscribers, the percentage of residential subscribers, types of broadband connections and whether VoIP service must be used over a single predetermined broadband connection or can be used over any broadband connection. The FCC claims that these changes will "greatly improve its ability to understand the extent of broadband deployment." These Form 477 changes are scheduled to take effect with the filing of 2008 year-end data, due March 1 2009. 

Facilities-based broadband providers are to report the number of connections that they have in service to households and businesses in each of the Census Tracts in which they operate. Providers are to supply, in a standardized database format, the number of subscribers in each Census Tract, broken down by technology type and upload and download speed. Mobile wireless broadband service providers are required to report the Census Tracts that best represent their broadband service footprint for each of the speed tiers in which they offer service. Broadband providers must report both download and upload transfer rates in the following speed tiers: (1) greater than 200 kbps but less than 768 kbps; (2) equal to or greater than 768 kbps but less than 1.5 mbps; (3) equal to or greater than 1.5 mbps but less than 3.0 mbps; (4) equal to or greater than 3.0 mbps but less than 6.0 mbps, (5) equal to or greater than 6.0 mbps but less than 10.0 mbps; (6) equal to or greater than 10.0 mbps but less than 25.0 mbps; (7) equal to or greater than 25.0 mbps but less than 100.0 mbps; and (8) equal to or greater than 100 mbps. The FCC will continue to require providers to report connections with download transfer rates above 200 kbps and upload speeds of less than or equal to 200 kbps, because "upload services in this category continue to be a common offering in the broadband services market." 

The FCC also released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) with its order seeking comment on the following issues: 1) whether the Form 477 data should be used to develop a detailed nationwide broadband availability map, 2) how to effectively capture information about actual delivered speeds of broadband Internet access services and pricing of broadband services, 3) how to preserve the confidentiality of the information collected on the Form 477, 4) whether LECs should report the number of voice telephone service connections at the ZIP Code or Census Tract level instead of at the state level, and 5) whether the FCC should conduct consumer broadband surveys. The FCC has established an expedited comment cycle with the goal of releasing an order within four months.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have been working with MAXRAD (PCTel) sectors and they seem to work fine. Their small, but you can adjust them from 13 to 17 dBi. I have them in horizontal polarization (2.4 GHz).

However, I want to know what would be a top notch sector for you guys? ]]></description>

<title>[Tech Ops] Un-balanced links</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20972447</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've encountered this many times on my little network but never understood the science behind it. I often encounter CPE recieving great singal while AP recieveing(from CPE) 10-15db lower. While I can see multi-path issues being one sided, but what other causes are there for this to happen? I'm looking for broad general knowledge for learning/understanding purposes.

<title>Cost of running a WiSP?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20956215</link>
<description><![CDATA[I figured that i would ask this question for me any others looking to get involved in a project like this. What all does it cost you for things like getting a customer up or getting an AP up in terms of equipment. I'm not really looking for the "magic number" of how much this is gonna cost me to get going.

Ive been running through things all the way down to cost per feet of ground wire, rubber tape for n connectors, and little things like this. I figured i would ask in here to see if i am hitting close to the ballpark with my numbers.]]></description>
