WTK: wifi directional antennas POS

[powered by ?]

Presently looking at this solution for our WAN in POS and environs but was wondering if we need to acquire a special license to use this frequency (5Ghz) on the spectrum, contacted TATT and waiting on a feedback . Any info would be appreciated.

If you going to transmitting long range using high power levels over a watt plus in a urban area then yeah.... you got to pay.

I used to transmit for miles down chaguramas using 2.4ghz and 5ghz amplified over 2 watts but i never informed the authorities an they never bothered me.

[deens-von]

yups..u got to pay.. its a yearly fee but im not sure of the cost..

second option would be to go through flow's fibre network. they have tons of redundancy but they would of course require some space in your server room..

or contact digicel business and ask about their ICT services..

hope this helps

it's not illegal if you can get away with it right?

I once pointed out a spelling error on XTECH's web page, his response, "Once dey could find de place den is ok ent??"

Normelll business procedures meng.

CG an Army right there an all eh......

plus does TATT actually get out of the office an scan the frequencies "to enforce the law"

[Devourment]

2.4 & 5.8 GHz are on the ISM band and are for public use. However, there is a power limit (EIRP max) you can output. Otherwise, you can bring down everyone else by your selfish desires.

Anyway, I believe 5.0GHz is licensed spectrum 5.725 GHz to 5.875 GHz is free to use (within the power restrictions).

so your thinking is that the police more wrong for not enforcing the law than the criminal is for breaking it?

[xtech]

Yeah

Something like the "bounce meh nah attitude" an why people now taking dem car to inspect.

who really wrong?

An lets try to remember i never said he should cancel his request for license but merely stated my experience before an after the law was made "since I built my network before the law came to be".

Besides down there is plenty bush covered mountains an open water so nobody to bothered, but don't try what I did in a major city.

Thanks buddy this says alot, imagine I spoke to two persons at TATT one indicated that I just needed to notify them with the antennas position and spectrum its using and the other I'll need to find out and call you back which is over a week now. Devourment would you to give more on the power thresholds or point me to who can? Much thanks ..

The longest haul on all the links would be 1/2 mile ..don't think I will be using any high power antennas..

[megadoc1]

for half mile I don't think you need permission to use a yaggi

as a radio amateur operator (ham), I am privileged to use up to 1500 watts legally
my next project is to modify two linksys routers and amplify their signals and run some tests
but no business can be done on the ham bands

Did something similar a few years back with linksys wifi routers using yagi antennas an got very decent range boost without amps. With the 1 an 2 watt amps......my goodness could send a wifi signal to clifton hill beach using a DLINK from chaguramas an a ddwrt linksys as the reciever set up as a repeater worked well as long as a ship was not blocking the beam lol.

a few years ago I installed a 2.4 ghz to connect two high rise buildings around the Savannah (at that time it was high rise)

I had done this before but encountered an issue where the Router would need constant rebooting to re establish connectivity, I am contemplating using this antenna http://www.ubnt.com/nanostation as it has the Ethernet interface which supports POE ruling out the need for a separate cable for power, also lessening the amount of devices on your network. Saw some reviews on those Yaggi antennas and the majority wasn't favourable.

[xtech]

Aye I used my yaggi antennas for link up between Chaguramas and Pt Fortin so dont knock it unless you tried it.

Also yaggi shoots a very narrow beam so its very hard to aim for short range use.....
Panel antennas will be better suited to your job.

[suffocate69]

I think the power limit for the ISM band is 28dBm.

Sorry buddy but I wasn't knocking the yaggi antenna its just the reviews I saw online they won't favorable..

[pugboy]

you can use whatever you want in these bands
its all under the "Part-15" rules,
look under any modern wireless consumer equipment and you will see
the little part-15 disclaimer sticker.
