Overview
This is sort of generic information about the WISP business but from the perspective of what CDS uses.
Cambium Canopy
Cambium home page wikipedia on Motorola Canopy
"A customer can query the status of their SM by viewing URL 169.254.1.1/main.cgi with a web browser (unless the network operator uses a different IP address or has put the subscriber in a VLAN."
- 900 MHz for non-line-of-sight applications - also very long range?
- 5.7 GHz - normally used for backhauls
3 - 15 mile range
- cluster manager
- access point
- subscriber module
- back haul
MikroTik
MikroTik home page wikipedia entry which does not contain much useful information
I have a MikroTik RouterBoard in a black box. I need to flash RouterOS on it so I can use it for testing.
- SXT "Six pack" = one router plus 5 CPE They claim up to 200 MBps
- RouterBoard
- Managed switch
- 5 Ghz
MikroTik management
Some of this is generic network management stuck here until I reorganize this page
Alternatives to MikroTik#"The Dude" for managing and monitoring my RouterOS equipmnent.
