Re: Need Some help On Point to Multi Point Connection.
You realize the FHSS systems won't do more than 1.8 Mbps or so right?
When you say you are "supplying the cities with wireless internet" does that mean you intend to support multiple customers or you are just supplying certain buildings.
To start with I would run seperate PtP connections to each of the other cities. Do this with a professional grade system at a minimum. Also do you understand that this technology requires line of sight between the radios?
Personally I would not use FHSS as it is a little bit restrictive in terms of bandwidth as well as the fact that they aren't developing any new FHSS systems so you're kinda coupling yourself with a stagnant technology.
In order to make decisions on a distribution system we need to know what kind of bandwidth per customer you intend to offer, what kind of budget do you have for the CPE (ie how much can each one cost realistically not perfect world), how about the presence of trees (Oregon has a few of them the last time I checked), the possibility for interference etc.
Trying to do 3 cities at once is a wee bit ambitious for someone asking the kind of questions you are, no offense. |

4 edits | I understand LOS and also the fresnal zone. I've read tons of information and also have read Jack Ungers book a couple of times(attending seminar soon). The reason I ask these questions is because I haven't deployed anything this big. Why not start with the 3 cities? If I'm going to do it then why not start big, I honestly don't see a problem with this(Maybe I'm missing something). Medical Springs(50% broadband) is 9,800 population, North Powder(NO Broadband) 400 and Haines(No Broadband) about 400.
I intend on supporting business's and residential users for fixed broadband at the below speeds:
256/128
512/256
768/256
I already have my T1 ordered. Thinking of getting a bonded T-1 if it calls for it.
For CPE's I was looking at tranzeo TR-CPE200-19 or TR-CPE80-15. I want to keep it under $250.00.
From each of my PtP I can see the other point clear LOS, the FRESNAL zone is good(60% Clear would be 28.6 ft/ Medical Springs to Haines.5 miles x 5 miles, correct me if I'm wrong)
I havent seen any 400-500ft Tree's in town lately. Did you not look at the Elevation? |

We find Tranzeo CPEs a bit pricey. Instead, we use HGA-2400 Pro 31s and Pro 35s ($119/$59). Also, I didn't notice any mention of traffic shaping on Tranzeo web site. HGA's allow you to set Uplink/Downlink speed right in the CPE, conserving your bandwidth at the source. |

said by cmaenginsb  :You realize the FHSS systems won't do more than 1.8 Mbps or so right? This statement is coreect and I would also like to add something. I am a WISP that uses Raylink and Alvarion FHSS radios. We are actually going to have to redeploy some newer and faster gear in some areas, as I have some customers that need more bandwidth than the FHSS radios can supply.

While I wouldn't call FHSS "stagnant"(Call Brad Larson @ Alvarion and tell him that, I dare You!:D, LOL!), I would say that every type of technology has it's place. If all You plan on doing is suppling the speeds mentioned above?, You will have a hassle free, interference free network. On the other side of the coin, If You feel that faster speeds will be needed some day, You need to take a long hard look at what You are about to do so that You are prepared for the future.;)

$119 for a CPE were I can setup the up and down at that CPE would be nice. I prefer to set it at the CPE. Do you have a website? |
