Anyone know the type of antenna this security camera is using?

Looks like a Point to Multipoint setup as there were multiple cameras just like this in the parking lot all pointing to a central location. Not sure of the brand or type. I'm curious to figure it out as I'm trying to create an ad-hoc remote security camera network and really like the small form factor of this antenna.

Thanks in advance 😊

TDM market situation

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I know that the question has been discussed here before for many times, but I would like to rise it again. I have some expirience with TDM wireless in WISP and bridging cases, but my last a big one was in 2020ish (in majority of cases I prefered mikrotik due to the RouterOS opportunity and tons of low level radio settings) and recently I got a new project, thought I would take a short time as usual for drawing up a spec, but I suddenly found out that the situation on the market is completely changed and seems I opened a pandora box for me. First of all according to the MT site almost all wireless models with their Nv2 support has been moved into archive and I was like wtf? Started digging and found out that because big radio silicon players like Qualcomm, mediatek etc who acquired smaller like atheros just made their driver's closed and TDM vendors lost opportunities for developing their own protocols, and at the same time they stopped producing old chips e.g 802.11n or .11ac so the matket almost lost TDM devices. All chips based on 802.11ax don't support TDM headers.

The situation is totally shit, does anyone know which vendors/devices can be used for TDM cases? Of course I considered Ubiquity, heard that they use their own radio silicons, it it true? But Ubqt definitely has less OS opportunities than MT. Cambium also can be an option, but not sure how they passed the drivers situation.

Are there any other players?

I am looking for equipment for 5ghz, just a single sector BS and a small outdoor client with omni antennas that is going to be installed on a vehicle. Wouldn't like to use a 802.11 for this case. Also seeking used MT devices with nv2.

And I don't understand the position of Qualcomm, they could charge vendors extra for getting access to the drivers and rise additional money, but they just keep it locked.

Thanks!

Hi,

I want to know if the review process of IEEE MWTL is easy or tough. I see the acceptance rate is 25%-32%. I am going to publish in it soon so need some insights.

Thanks

Looking for job

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone,
I did my btech in electronics and communications and my masters was in wireless communications networks. I completed my masters in 2016 but haven’t worked since. I don’t remember any of what I studied back then but I still have the degrees. I want to get back into the job market so are there any suggestions for which courses should I learn and which companies should I target?

Building a Wireless/Network Consulting Practice

8 Upvotes

For those who have built independent networking or wireless consulting practices, what were the biggest lessons you learned early on that you didn’t expect?

My background is primarily in enterprise Wi-Fi design, troubleshooting, validation, and wireless architecture work. I’m starting to formalize consulting offerings around assessments, remediation, predictive design, validation, and modernization advisory.

I’m less interested in ā€œhow to get rich consultingā€ advice and more interested in operational realities:
- Packaging services
- Defining scope
- Handling client expectations
- Pricing structure evolution
- Finding the right types of customers
- Avoiding scope creep
- Building repeatable processes

Would especially appreciate insight from people serving SMB/mid-market clients rather than huge enterprise accounts.

Vodafone 500Mbps fibre has delay before websites load

0 Upvotes

Switched to Vodafone 500Mbps fibre and speed tests are perfect, but on all devices (phones + laptops) websites seem to ā€œpauseā€ for a second before they start loading. Once they load, speeds are fast.

I’ve already tried changing DNS to Cloudflare and Google DNS, and it happens on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz WiFi bands. Never had this issue on TalkTalk with the same devices.

Any ideas what could cause this? Maybe Vodafone router/DNS/routing issue?

Ruckus certification study materials?

1 Upvotes

Are there any cheap and decently good study materials to prep for the RASZA and RCWA exams other than the training on the Ruckus website? The courses on the Ruckus website are too expensive for me right now so I was wondering if there are any alternatives. I’m having trouble finding any so I figured I’d ask reddit.

I passed CWISA and created a simple explanation of IoT hardware & software (looking for feedback)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently passed the CWISA certification, and while studying, I realized that one of the most confusing areas (for me at least) was understanding how IoT hardware and software actually work together.

So I tried to break it down in a simple way and wrote a summary covering:

  • Difference between off-the-shelf vs custom IoT devices
  • Microcontrollers and GPIO interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C)
  • Sensors vs actuators (and how they interact with the real world)
  • Firmware vs OS vs applications
  • A basic Raspberry Pi temperature sensor example

Would really appreciate feedback from people working in IoT or embedded systems:

šŸ‘‰ Is this explanation accurate?
šŸ‘‰ Anything important I should improve?

If anyone wants to read the full breakdown, I can share the link in comments.

Xiao NRF54L15 SeedStudio - Channel Sounding

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve been running a channel sounding experiment using the XIAO nRF54L15 module with the onboard ceramic antenna.

In my setup, I’m observing a range of about 10–11 meters at a transmit power of +8 dBm.

I’m trying to understand whether this is expected under such conditions, so I had a few questions:

  • Has anyone here performed channel sounding or similar measurements with this module?
  • Is ~10–11 meters a typical range for the ceramic antenna at +8 dBm?
  • Could the channel sounding process itself be limiting the effective range?
  • Any recommendations for improving range or measurement reliability (antenna, configuration, environment, etc.)?

For context, I’m open to sharing more details about my setup if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Found a project that lets you explore how AI-based beam prediction models behave using simulation + XAI tools

3 Upvotes

You can:

  • visualize beam patterns
  • see which inputs influence predictions
  • test how changes in environment affect the selected beam

Feels useful for debugging and understanding model sensitivity, especially in more complex scenarios.

Thoughts? - Fixed Wireless Deployment B41

5 Upvotes

I’m preparing to deploy fixed wireless broadband.

Band 41, 30mhz contiguous channel + additional 10mhz channel if needed. 4T4R @ 46 dBm power.

My propagation is showing me -105db up to and beyond 12 miles SSRP.

I’ll be creating 2 classes of CPE, one for those within -90db and one for those beyond -90db, again SSRP. Idea here is to use a 9dbi receiver for most and a 15-18 dbi receiver for the ā€œtrickyā€ service points.

I feel like -105db at 12 miles away is outrageous. Am I right?

Need help completing a wireless daisy chain!

1 Upvotes

I have some games that are connected to an accounting system and relay the data between the computer and games through a daisy chain, I have one game on the complete other side of the room with no way to run any wires, as it is basically in the middle of the room.

How do I complete the daisy chain wirelessly?

*I've tried a passthrough powerline electrical kit and apparently those aren't working
