Re: [AFMUG] Extending home network

We took down our last 2 FSK (PMP100) SMs today. 2.4 GHz. One had a "SuperStinger". Still need to take down a couple Cyclone APs at 140 ft.We acquired a smartBridges WISP in 2005. Switched to Tranzeo, then Canopy FSK, then moved all the 2.4 customers to 3.65 GHz PMP450 now CBRS.The 2 today were

Now there is a blast from the past; smartBridges. We had a few of those that we used for short client-client links, Little blue and white metal boxes about 6" square. Most of them got retired after a year or two when the boxes sprang a leak and let rainwater in. -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com

Re: [AFMUG] Extending home network

If you have to say you’re smart, you probably aren’t. But sometimes dumb is good. I love how people are now nostalgic about the original Motorola RAZR flip phone after deriding it for most of 20 years. I had one. I think people miss the point. It was intuitive, it had big buttons, and yo

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Evo

There's a webinar in about a week for those of us who weren't at WISPAPALOOZA. Matt Mangriotis had talked about an illusive product called 450mv. If I were Cambium, I would cancel that and/or redirect the development to become this Evo thing. But prune the wish list to get availability into 2

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Evo

I still have APs with the FSK connector. Never opened one up, but someone told me there was electronics behind it, not just an N connector.Great example of a marketing feature that if it's late enough, customers no longer care, don't bother. Plug the hole and move on. Original Message Fr

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Evo

Never functional, at least on retail units. I assume they had some in the lab for development. It's possible the hardware was there, just not enabled in the firmware, but customers couldn't use it for anything. Who knows, maybe there were hidden commands, or memory locations you could peek and p

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Evo

Folks, I don’t give two shits what anyone says. The FSK and 430 combo was the first promise made and the first to be broken after the Motorola Canopy buyout. 450 wasn’t even in the works. I still have the emails explaining why it had to be abandoned. This company has a HISTORY of making promise

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Evo

My difficulty with the concept is that the "e" in ePMP mostly meant the economy achieved by using off the shelf silicon. If the EVO manages to somehow use off the shelf silicon, then maybe they have a winner? but only if the PMP part of the equation manages to include features that are not part of

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Evo

I actually like Matt, probably because I used to be in product development and he’s kind of an old school product manager. It’s hard to know the dynamics inside Cambium, but I get the feeling he has been assigned the red headed stepchild of a product line to manage, and insufficient resources o

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Evo

I believe anything is possible if we don't care what the equipment costs. Tarana may have demonstrated that there's still a market for premium products as long as they deliver premium capabilities. That said, I'd assume ePMP and PMP are not talking to the AP on the same radios. Maybe you get

Re: [AFMUG] ?ADSS?

It all depends. The wildcard on aerial is the make-ready. Installing aerial cable is nearly always cheaper than underground, but the make-ready work can easily flip that around. You can't attach in violation of NESC clearances (-well you *can*, but you're not *allowed*. I don't want to get into

Re: [AFMUG] ?ADSS?

Here I’d say they’re pretty good at identifying whether it was a pre-existing issue. Our problem is the Elco field engineers are trigger happy with pole replacements in general. People often attribute it to the Elco wanting to upgrade their plant with your money. I’m more inclined to think it

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Evo

I won't believe anything until I see it. I feel that cambium is looking at moving to an architecture where the AP is a FPGA based SDR that talks to SMs that use off the shelf Silicon. Assuming it works, one can then leverage the cost savings of the cheap 802.11 chipsets on the SM side while still

Re: [AFMUG] ?ADSS?

I had one small town owned power company want me to replace every pole for make ready. The Kentucky microtrench was really nanotrench. Now-a-days microtrench puts the conduit 6”+ below the bottom of the asphalt. Trenches are typically 12-16” deep with flowfill on top. They don’t heave.
