Re: Low Cost USB Customer Client CPE
Said by Lutful
"I am truly amazed that a radio and 800mW RF amp can now be powered by 5V/0.5A (2.5W) maximum allowed by USB."
Radio is powered via USB; amp is powered via 12v switching power supply. Based on the feedback I have received, we will keep this item as an OEM for RV park WISP's. The USB Plug & Play simplicity is what senior citizens need. Although some have very impressive computer skills others have difficulty turning on their computer.

We still have a bunch of your older 2400 outdoor APs/CPEs that have been cooking in the sun for years now without issue  |

| Why the qwest for so much power? I know that an amplified radio has it's place - but I am concerned with the influx of high powered radios. 800mW is an awful lot of RF.

Most RV parks are wooded or have foliage planted there for shade as in the high class Arizona parks. Not only does that make it difficult to get RF where you want, your trying to get it into As Seaboogers said "Million Dollar Rolling Faraday Cages".
To answer your question, "Why the qwest for so much power?" The high power is only being demanded by Hotel and RV Park WISP's and it's not just high power, it the extra 20dB of receive gain that makes this product cook. You have experienced this first hand.
We are working with our booster manufacturer to have the booster independently adjustable so the TX can be shut down but the RX stays at its peak. That's really what I want but that costs more to do.
The demand is there and sensible WISP's are treating this responsibly. We do not sell to anyone other then WISP's so our products should not be finding their way onto your neighbor’s roof.

| Down here the city council has decided oak trees are king and if you try to build a new home, business, building, parking lot, you better be ready to design them around the trees.
Higher receive gain without higher transmit is indeed often a great answer. I know with the RV Parks down here we have to use SR2's to really see signal completely across the park. It's crazy. |
