Re: Lowest cost 900Mhz gear
said by GTOV8  :For example, if I wanted to use the SR9, must I get a Williboard or some other router board and then put the those in a box with PoE? What if I needed to have a backhaul in the same box? And so on. Is there a white paper somewhere on how to assemble this into a package that'll work? A whitepaper to put together your own multi-radio basestations is a very good idea.
Mikrotik, WILI, Ikarus, StarOS can all drive Atheros miniPCI radios like SR9 since it has exact same MAC chip as SR2 or SR5.
But I think we can use only 1 SR9 due to the size of the 900Mhz spectrum and the design of the SR9. This needs to be confirmed with final production SR9.
Right now I am designing a 4-radio AP for use in my own WISP using Gateworks PCB (and WILI firmware) only because it supplies 18 Watts power among the 4 miniPCI cards. 1 SR9, 1 SR5 and 2 SR2 will definitely take 18 Watts. |

I know for a fact the cards exist, as I held one in my hand at ISPCon. The problem is with the manufacturing side, and they say that production has not started other than a few boards, so who knows when You will see units shipping?

Was there ever a post, or is there a good place to go, to get info on all the componet pieces and software needed to configure any mini-pci radio in a box as an AP or CPE? I've searched around and there are bits and pieces all over, but nothing that says exactly which items to pull together.
For example, if I wanted to use the SR9, must I get a Williboard or some other router board and then put the those in a box with PoE? What if I needed to have a backhaul in the same box? And so on. Is there a white paper somewhere on how to assemble this into a package that'll work?
Thank you all.
