Hello,<br>
<br>
Yesterday we got a really important link
working. Directly from a major Internet
peering point with multiple fiber drops to
our microwave network. Specifically from
the Westin building to our Queen Anne
location. This link was then tested to
perform at about 140-150Mbit.<br>
<br>
Due to the geometry of the Westin building,
the dish we're using there is not a good
fit. At least 1/2 of it is obscured by the
building's column. I'd like to replace this
dish + modem with a smaller QRT-5 modem.
The integrated antenna of the QRT-5 should
be unobstructed in its view of Queen Anne.<br>
<br>
I'd like to feed the Haystack site from our
Queen Anne location. However, we have space
and aesthetic restrictions at the Queen Anne
site. The best performing and most
aesthetically acceptable modem there is a
QRT-5.<br>
<br>
Finally, we have some spectral restrictions
on our Baldi site. I've been exploring
using the 3.3-3.5GHz ham band for PtP there,
since it doesn't overlap with commercial
operations, and 200MHz of spectrum is a
really important asset. <span> </span><a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.hamwan.org/t/tiki-index.php?page=Ubiquiti+XR3&structure=HamWAN"
style="color:purple;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">I've
tested one modem so far, the Ubiquiti XR3</a>,
but it's not a good candidate. It doesn't
cover anything below 3.4GHz so we'd be
losing 100MHz of potential bandwidth, and
it's not a MIMO modem so we'd be losing 1/2
the potential speed. I'd like to purchase
an F36N-PRO modem card and put it through
its paces. For all the paces, I'd need 2 of
them, but I can start the testing with just
1. And yes, I'd like to test the US/CA
version, not the international version. I'm
guessing we can make the US/CA card work
outside its intended spectrum, and it's
cheaper and easier to come by, so if that
can be accomplished, it's the preferred
model. Also, we don't have to lie about
export intentions when making the purchase.<br>
<br>
So, to sum it up, here is the total spending
request:</p>

For Streakwave, I'm listing the reseller
pricing, which I have access to. Yes, the
F36N-PRO is showing as available for $90 @
baltic networks, but when you go to check
out it shows as back ordered. Don't want
drama.<br>
<br>
My vote is YAY.<br>
