I had a client who had quite a decent network, but was always having issues. Upon investigating and subsequently asking him how he designed his last mile, he pointed us at the facebook wisp operators group. He was servicing high value customers with large dedicated speeds, based on a network design that kind of works for servicing trailer parks in rural USA. Mostly because the loudest voices in the space come from the jankiest moron wisp operators.
The issue is that a lot of the advice is bad, the good advice costs money and is indistinguishable for the lay person from the bad advice, and its very easy to access terrible advice. This website isn't terrible, but it would serve to pay for the best advice possible before spending even more money on the wrong hardware in the wrong area.
- ikiris 3y agoThis is the most accurate description of wisp information handoff I've ever seen.

- protocolture 3y agoYeah thats the issue. Well that and that most WISP operators have bought in to this idea that a non technical person can engineer a network for 1000 customers without support, so its not just that they dont know who to get advice from, they have been told they should be able to figure it out without help.
