<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23392085</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi

Is it possible to have simultanius user load balancing redistributeed equaly between its two omni antennas? Ex. 15 on Ant1 and 15 users on Ant2 instead of 25 on Ant 1 and 5 on Ant2.

Thanks]]></description>

<title>1333mW AP?!  Everything we know says it shouldnt exist....</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23386034</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://www.xagyl.com/store/product.php?productid=16133&cat=0&page=1&featured

Is there a way to run one of these as an AP?, or are they selling it for "shadY" operators?

Are there any special ways to get a license to break the 4wEIRP limit on AP's?]]></description>

<title>Battery Overcharge</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23391457</link>
<description><![CDATA[We have two 105ah 12v deka sealed AGM, purchased together this summer. The solar setup is 24v in series. The project took longer then expected and the battries ended up in different parts of the building. Someone had been trickle charging the one battery a few days before we setup our solar system unknown to us. 

Once we took them to the solar site we noticed a difference, of probably 12.65 and 12.8 approx. The next day one was at 14.5+(cant remember), 2nd was 13.5 or less, we disconnected the solar and let it run for a few days. We then brought them back to trickle charge each one up. One would float higher then the other regardless of how long/often we trickled the lower one. Difference would be .15 volt after sitting for a day.

Today, after a full day of winter sun they were 14.5 and 13.85, annoyed with the situation they have been running like this for a couple weeks. 14.5 is on the edge of a high charge voltage.

Just using a standard non MPPT morningstar solar charger. 

Available options: 
1. Replace the battery. (or both?)
2. Try to overcharge the 2nd battery a little.  
3. Leave it be. 
4. Discharge the one .15v under the other?

Any thoughts? 

Thanks]]></description>

<title>Selling fixed 3G for additional revenue</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23379250</link>
<description><![CDATA[I spoke with a company this week that is offering to provide wholesale, unlimited 3G data to us that works on either the Sprint or T-Mobile network to the tune of $52 per month. Completely rebrandable. Volume over 100 accounts gets it down to $50 per month cost.

I was thinking this may be a valid revenue stream for those rural customers we are approached by on a daily basis that have no other service options.

My thought would be to provide a managed router (Mikrotik), fixed antenna and amplifier.

We would continue to charge our normal $300 installation.

It doesn't seem like it would be too much different than a normal install that we do and I would think many people would jump on a $99 unlimited plan.

That is higher priced than Millenicom but would include perks they don't offer. Lower priced than Accel by $50 a month...

Thoughts?]]></description>

<title>Experience with Tranzeo WiMax 3.65GHZ?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23247220</link>
<description><![CDATA[I would appreciate a report of anyone's experience out there with the new Tranzeo WiMax 3.65Ghz gear (Pico Station and Subscriber Units).

We are thinking of upgrading our network and using this gear.  We have a relatively small network, about 70 subscriber radios total, and we use a combination of Trango 5.8 and WaveIP 900 (for people we can't reach the Trango with).  I figure the 3.65Ghz "pseudo license" will alleviate a lot of our noise issues and give us a a best of both worlds between the 5.8 and the 900.  We cover about 200 square miles from one very high tower (we do have one "repeater/mini-POP" site in a neighborhood).  Currently we have (2) 120 degree Trango sectors (plus another AP on a repeater site using an omni) and the WaveIP is on a MTI high-gain horizontal Omni.

We don't have any illusions of replacing ALL of our 900mhz gear (because let's face it, there are just some areas that only 900mhz DSS can reach), but we do think this would be a solid upgrade to our Trango 5.8 gear and would allow us to replace more of our 900 gear and reach more new customers with faster service.  It also gives us a bit of future proofing and a better plan for the future (in my mind), and doesn't necessarily lock us into one vendor.

Would like feedback on:

1) Are the radios as sensitive as the specs suggest (should be able to be more sensitive given the theoretically better noise floor)?

2) What kind of bandwidth do you get at various signals and at what channel width?  I'm hoping these radios will maintain good connections down into the mid -80's (although not optimal).

3) Has the low power of the pico base station (15db) been an issue at all?  What kind of sector antennas are you using and how many AP's are you colocating?

4) After how many subscriber units does the AP start to bog down?

5) What is the install experience like with their subscriber units?  Are you getting any NLOS at all?  What configuration do you use mostly (17dbi integrated, 20dbi integrated, external antenna)?

6) Any luck at all with the indoor units?  If so, at what range?

7) Opinions on the AirSync system?

8) Any luck with interoperability (Tranzeo AP with other brand SU's and vice versa)?

9) Anything else I forgot :)

Thanks for any info anyone can provide.

Regards,

Ben Buie

<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23116474</link>
<description><![CDATA[This thread is for vendor announcements ONLY!  This thread will remain stickied for two months and then locked and allowed to drift into oblivion much the same as the &#147;For Sale&#148; thread.  Equipment companies/vendors may announce new WISP-related products or services under the following simple rules. 
1.&#9; Referral links are abso-positivo-lutely not allowed. This includes any information in any part of any posted URL that could identify a reseller or this site.
2.&#9;Please make your announcement, simple, straight-forward, and free from spammy sounding claims.  
3.&#9;Persistent spam will be deleted - If we see the same company re-posting the same equipment/service announcement, it will be deleted and sanctions may be applied.
4.&#9;Members are allowed to discuss, IN DETAIL, both good and bad points of equipment and services.  This may not be something a vendor wants. If so, don't post it here.
5.&#9;Discussion will take place in the forum; NOT in this thread.  Posts that do not contain product announcements will be deleted. &#9;
6.&#9;Failure to comply with these rules will be met with immediate sanctions, either against the vendor, the member or both. A Vendor that continually violates rules or encourages others to do so on their behalf will be denied future posting rights.
7.&#9;Sanctions may include temporary (or permanent) loss of posting privileges in this forum and loss of site account so please do not abuse this opportunity. 
This forum is intended to discuss WISP equipment, issues, and related services only.
