  1. Choosing the Right Wireless System. Marlon K. Schafer CTO/System Design KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181 (509) 988-0260 cell marlon@kmswireless.com ooe@odessaoffice.com Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181

  2. Where to start? The fist thing you need to ask is “How many customers are likely in the next 18 to 24 months?” A few or many??? Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181

  3. WISP Types We basically find three different types of WISPs. • Small Rural (300 customers or less) • Large Urban (more than 300 customers) • Campus (many customers but confined area) Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181

  4. Small/Rural • DSSS • Maximum of three WPOPs • Strengths • Cheap • Long range • Multiple equipment choices • Fast • Able to be programmed away from known interference • Weaknesses • Everyone can buy the radios everywhere • Cheap • Long range • Susceptible to narrow band interference Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181

  5. Large/Urban • FHSS • Maximum of 12 WPOPs • Strengths • Scalable • Dynamically avoids interference • Secure • Robust • Obscure • Weaknesses • More proprietary • Not as fast as DSSS • Expensive Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181

  6. Campus • FHSS/DSSS • Coverage zones must be tightly controled • Strengths • Scalable • Dynamically avoids interference • Secure • Robust • Obscure • Weaknesses • More proprietary • Not as fast as DSSS • Expensive Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181

  7. Costs There are several levels of quality and security for this equipment. As would be expected the better the gear the more the costs. Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181

  8. Rural WISP WPOP Estimate This is for a middle of the road DSSS system: • Access Point: $600 • Amplifier: $500 • Antenna: $200 • Cables: $150 • Labor: $500 • CPE: $400+ Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181

  9. Urban WISP WPOP Estimate This is for an upper level FHSS system: • Access Point: $2500 • Antenna: $600 • Cables: $100 • Labor: $500 • CPE: $950+ Note: In most populated markets there will need to be at least two of these, 4 to 6 per broadcast site is normally easier to deal with. Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181

  10. Campus or Industrial Zone Estimate Access Point: $600 to $3000+ Antenna: $100+ Amplifier: $500??? (may not need/want) Cables: $100+ Labor: $500+++ CPE: $100+ Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181

  11. Conclusion There is a real and tangible need for broadband services today and it’s increasing daily. You can save money or make money be delivering broadband access to your employees or customers. Just make sure you don’t waste your money by putting in a system that won’t work or costs more than people can/will pay for. Marlon K. Schafer, CTO--KMS Wireless (509) 982-2181
