I replied to your email but got this in return:

The answer to your question is Yes [:)]

Apologies ¡K damn free mail boxes full of spam. I will see to it ASAP ƒº

Basically, enabling the extended cell feature on the node Bs sacrifices one of the uplink time slots. I am not aware of any of the high sites enabled for extended cell at the moment, though if you say you are testing I can only assume that some in Durban have in fact been enabled.

My current opinion, as the MyWireless products were designed specifically to exclude the use of the extended cell feature any use of the service in such a manner at the moment should be deemed as a Sentech test. I would strongly encourage anyone out there not to rely too heavily on the availability of the extended range services until the release of such services are officially announced by Sentech.

Again I merely wish to avoid getting anyone¡¦s hopes up at this time only to suffer disappointment later on.

All Durbans nodes were on extended range at installation, whether that was intended or not is unknown but thats how they came from IPWireless, maybe they think its all jungle out here. [:D]
Now that everything has been set to 5.7 I found several area's that depended on the extended range so Durban is now spearheading experimentations in this area and anyone wanting to connect to this is directed straight to me.

ProAsm is the 5.7 limit to keep the number of users logging onto a tower at a certain limit, basicly sharing ratios ?

Its basically to stop overlapping else a modem tries to connect to a tower thats further than 5 ks and it struggles to logon.
If you were on this forum 2 to 3 weeks ago you would have read all the complaints how many users were struggling to logon and stay on.
Towers are placed in a grid pattern so no one frequency overlaps the other.

Guess Sentech would just be too happy if the Tower Contention Ratio at a spot was about to be exceeded - maximum income for the tower.

At the same time I guess that they would realise that their marketing worked extremely well for that spot, and they would increase capacity to increase their income even more, and if required ad more towers as well.

Can't see how they would allow bad service experience on an aspect where humans are not directly involved, to damage their reputation.

Ok, we need the ProASM to install and maintain the towers, but if it runs, it tends to be stable :-)

Unlike helpdesk staff which could ruin a marketing effort with a single bad response [xx(]

South Africa needs World Class Broadband at World Competitive Prices.
 
Sorry.. what I actually was asking is whether or not a tower will EVER reject a new user/modem even at high capacity. If the modem doesnt pick up a tower then in theory should it be able to get signal for another tower without physically moving the modem?
 
The modem will always lock onto the strongest signal and stay there unless you move the modem.
Theoretically the server should always log you on regardless.

So would the process of finding a *better* tower involve switching the modem on and off the whole time. It seems if you move the modem around then it always changes % but doesnt change tower number. Will MySignal 3.6 change the tower number dynamically? - This is of course assuming you are relatively inbetween 2 towers ie. lets say 3.5KM to tower A and to tower B.
 
The only time the modem will switch to another tower by itself is when it looses signal completely so yes, you need to reset the modem.
Pity there is not hardware reset from software.

Does that not kinda defeat the purpous of the technology?
IPWireless themselves advertise that you can browse the net at highway speeds, if a full signal loss is required before it switches to the next node, then web browsing won't be very pleasant while moving...

Yip. Its not a valid feature since the modem will disconnect from one tower and have to reconnect (with a new IP address) on the next tower. So effectively, its not what you think in terms of fully mobile high speed access. I doubt there will be towers everywhere on the highway anyway. Car chargers are also expensive for the modem R750 at nowire
 
flash, it does switch but exactly at what point I have not noted as yet but it is very low, probably 1% or something.
While it still receives information from one place it has no need to switch to a stronger signal.
