VOTE: A remote switchable PDU for ETiger
by Bart Kus 25 May '15

25 May '15

Hello, Forgot to list a PDU as part of the required parts for ETiger in the last email. This is standard for our sites, in case modems lock up or start causing interference. These have been obtained 2nd hand historically, and are about $100. This budget request is for the $100. --Bart

Westin maintenance @ 2:30PM PST

Hello, I'll be doing a reboot of the Westin server @ 2:30PM PST today. This means all traffic and services there will stop for a few minutes. I'll send a second email when it's all completed. --Bart

VOTE: New site @ East Tiger Mountain - phase 1
by Bart Kus 22 May '15

22 May '15

Hello, I'm pleased to announce we have installed a working link to East Tiger Mountain @ 3000ft ASL (47.488198°, -121.946706°). The uplink is coming from the Tukwila datacenter and is just using single-polarization hardware right now because it was on hand. We should upgrade this link hardware to dual polarity, but I'd like to wait until the Ubiquity IsoBeam product hits the market before we do that. The present performance is acceptable at about 50Mbit average. So this link upgrade is being skipped in the phase 1 spend here. We have also recently replaced the Westin router with a virtualized router that offers far greater performance, so I was able to re-use the RB2011 hardware from the Westin to run ETiger. This spend doesn't need to happen at this site. Yay re-use! I would like to try linking ETiger with the Snohomish DEM ("Paine") site. Since the viability of this link is unknown, I think we should do a test using hardware on-hand. If the test shows the signals are good, I'll roll the proper hardware request into a phase 2 spend. We do need to get Sector 3 installed up there though. It would be immediately useful, and would replace our Mirrormont site, which is only 1500ft ASL, and has much slower connectivity. Here are all the parts to make Sector 3 happen: *Description** * *Price** * *Qty** * *Subtotal** * AM-5G19-120 sector antenna @ Streakwave $117.00 1 $117.00 Streakwave Shipping $23.19 1 $23.19 RF Element SBX-S-CC-2SMA shielding outdoor radio enclosure @ ISP Supplies $35.90 1 $35.90 WaveGuard AM5G19 RF shield @ ISP Supplies $44.99 1 $44.99 ISP Supplies Shipping $24.89 1 $24.89 RB912UAG-5HPnD modem @ Baltic Networks $69.00 1 $69.00 Baltic Networks Shipping $14.74 1 $14.74 Mounting hardware @ local stores $80.00 1 $80.00 GRAND TOTAL $409.71 I'm including 2 antenna mounts in the mounting hardware category. One for the sector, and one for the test link to SnoDEM. We'll also need to find a special short-depth server to use @ ETiger. I've been doing some research on this but haven't found anything appropriate yet. Let me know if you have something or know of something cheap that still provides remote KVM with virtual media support. All the racks @ ETiger are two-post with very little depth available, so normal servers won't work. Our present cash balance is about $340. If you recall the last spend request (for the 900MHz test project), I was able to save some money by borrowing the expensive antenna hardware instead of buying it. We only purchased the two 900MHz MikroTik modems, and we also have two Ubiquiti 900MHz modems on loan so we can do true A/B testing. This testing will likely use the Mirrormont site, although SnoDEM would be preferred. Board, please vote on this spend request. Mailing list members, feel free to comment before the board votes. Thanks, --Bart

FYI, I forgot to forward this. I think we should just stick around the TAPR table. There is too much potential for the Mesh people to confuse our message.

We have abundant table space that can be used to display moderate-size (2' x 2'), self-standing posters and signs. We will display logos for Broadband-Hamnet and AREDN, and have flyers providing information on same. HamWAN is welcome to join the group (if they don't mind doing so under a banner/sign that says "Mesh Networks"). Also.... Surplus Wireless Gear Inc, an eBay supplier of used microwave equipment from Ubiquiti, MikroTic, etc., is expected to occupy a booth adjacent to ours. We intend to offer hams the opportunity to flash newly-purchased equipment with mesh firmware at our booth. The Mesh Networks booth will be located in the south-east corner of East Hall, near the East Hall entrance, not far from the Luso tower display.
