You dont want to mess with boosters if you dont have an ICASA license. You are going to mess up the spectrum, and they are going to come looking for you.GrimStoner wrote:For those in the east of Pretoria, have a lewk ...

I'm kinda high on a hill, and I've got a (1mW I think) booster.
Are there any other WISPs or wireless networks in the area?GrimStoner wrote:For those in the east of Pretoria, have a lewk ...

There is also neology...This network is a research network for the Wireless Africa Research Group of the Meraka Institute, situated at the CSIR. A number of employees are connected. It is an IPv6 based network that uses mesh network protocols for routing. It is based on Freifunk and FreeBSD firmware and runs on Linksys or Soekris devices with a combination of omni-directional and directional antennas to create the wireless network.
Then like I say avoid the signal boosting equipment. You are just going to flood the spectrum, other wireless networks in the area are going to loose signal. They will report the problem to ICASA who will pop around with a spectrum analyzer, then you are in the poo.GrimStoner wrote:Well, apparantly the CSIR is running a test :

They do the metropolitan WiFi in Pretoria.
The present 2.4 GHz frequency block is presently part of the Primary licensed 2.3 GHz Fixed Services link band, forming the upper "leg" of this band. These links are deployed on a national basis for certain backhaul services for national networks, e.g. PSTN, power utility, railways, safety and security etc.
The 2.4 GHz ISM portion is, however, also utilised or allowed on a licence exempt secondary basis, e.g. Low Power Video(LPVS), LAN's, Bluetooth, etc. and have to abide by certain regulations. These services fall under the category Short Range Devices (SRD's) deployed in buildings, warehouses and certain single properties or campuses. (Please find attached a copy thereof, see page 10.) These services shall not cause any harmfull interference to existing primary users mentioned above.
The maximum EIRP Tx power limit for wireless computer networks in the
2.4 GHz band is 100 mW, and are confined to one single campus or property.
Any transmissions outside these boundaries and power limits constitute an illegal act and are, therefore, unauthorised.
