24 Jan '22

I'd like to point y'all at NTIA's RFC for the many billion of upcoming USA broadband funds, here: https://ntia.gov/files/ntia/publications/fr-iija-broadband-rfc.pdf which has some really good questions on it (out of the 36), q12-16 in particular. Comments are due feb 4th, if anyone would like to contribute some.

Re: What do you think about this airline vs 5G brouhaha?
by Mel Beckman 21 Jan '22

Geoff, My understanding is that the FAA and 5G industry has just this week agreed on buffer zones around 50 of the impacted 80 US airports: https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/las-vegas-airport-included-in-5g-b… The 30 airports that are not buffered I think don’t have 5G deployed yet. For example, Denver international. The buffer zone is described as “the last 20 seconds of flight time”, which considering 230MPH (the airspeed limit in Class C airspace) as a worst case scenario, would be about a mile and a half. I fly helicopters, and for helicopter EMS flying, radar altimeters are important on the RTB (return to base) leg. So unless the FAA can get buffer zones around all the hospital helipads, I think there’s still an issue. There wouldn’t be an issue flying to an accident site, because generally outbound EMS flights required to have much higher visibility minimums, so I don’t think that radar altimeter’s are used in that flight regime. -mel via cell On Jan 21, 2022, at 11:52 AM, nanon08(a)mulligan.org wrote: Jaun says just what I stated previously... in Europe (and my understanding also in Japan) there is an agreement to create a PHYSICAL buffer zone (not just an RF spacing) between 5G transmitters and airport. No such agreement has been made here in the US. So both the RF spacing and physical spacing of 5G in the US is much closer and therefore it is disingenuous of ATT and Verizon to claim "well there are no problems in Europe"! It is not possible to compare the 5G deployment in Europe to the US.

You need a localizer, glideslope, etc. for instrument landings. Radars are made today that can reject out-of-band interference. If FAA simply required a certified radar that filtered out-of-band signals during those weather conditions, the airlines would retrofit and private pilots would also either retrofit, not fly in those conditions, or divert to land in better weather. It's not an FCC issue, and FAA needs to require equipment capable of safely operating within the allocated spectrum. For commercial airlines is it just old equipment or all equipment that has this error? That is, is there actually an off the shelf radio that would solve the problem? Mike

Re: Coverage of the .to internet outage

Got an Intelsat press release which may be of interest to folks following the situation in Tonga. I wish I could include just a URL, but they sent it to be as text so I am including the full thing: ------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 21, 2022 Intelsat and Partners Bring Emergency Connectivity to Tonga McLean, Va. – Intelsat, operator of the world’s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial network, in cooperation with Telstra and Spark deployed emergency communications services to support humanitarian aid to Tonga and the archipelago for Digicel Tonga and Tonga Communications Corporation. The undersea volcano, Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai, erupted on Jan. 15, 40 miles north of Tonga’s capital, Nuku’alofa. The volcanic explosion and subsequent tsunami knocked out the undersea internet cables, disconnecting the region of 100,000 as residents sought higher ground with the onslaught of rising water and dangerously high waves. Intelsat is providing space-based broadband connectivity on Horizons 3e and Intelsat 18, while partners, Telstra and Spark, are providing the ground infrastructure, including VSAT hubs at their teleports, uplink, internet access and remote kits. The services provided are now fully provisioned expanding broadband and voice services. Additionally, Intelsat is providing services in conjunction with Optus to the New Zealand Defence Force, who will provide humanitarian support in Tonga. “Communications infrastructure is essential to assisting the residents, coordinating medical staff and providing supplies, clean food and water and basic human needs,” said Intelsat CEO Stephen Spengler. “Our hearts go out to the residents of Tonga and all impacted by this devastation, and we’re working with our partners to play a role in supporting the community in their time of need.” Intelsat’s swift response is a testament to its communications infrastructure over the Pacific Islands, operational efficiencies, and longstanding commitment to serving the region. It is the quintessential demonstration of satellite solutions’ near-instantaneous communications activation in areas where disasters have crippled terrestrial networks. In 2019, Tonga lost internet access for nearly two weeks when a fiber-optic cable was severed. Intelsat played a significant role in restoring the island's restoration connectivity by providing satellite capacity on Horizons 3e and Intelsat18 at that time. -- Joel M Snyder, 1404 East Lind Road, Tucson, AZ, 85719 Senior Partner, Opus One Phone: +1 520 324 0494 jms(a)Opus1.COM http://www.opus1.com/jms

SOHO IPv6 switches
by Sean Donelan 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Of course, any ethernet switch is "IPv6 ready." They are just ethernet packets, and the switch doesn't care what's in the packets. Which SOHO class switches are really IPv6 capable? Or is it still necessary to go with the enterprise class switches? IOT devices all want to chat with each other even if there is no upstream IPv6 (Verizon FIOS). IGMPv3 snooping and IPv4 controls keep IPv4 broadcast storms under control. But SOHO-class switches don't seem to have the same capabilities for IPv6. The top two capabilities: 1) MLD snooping and 2) a simple way to keep IPv6 off certain ports (i.e. ancient 10/100 devices, which don't like it. controlling the multicast floods may also help them). What's the goto SOHO-class switch for IPv6?

"Now Kacific says it is “standing by” to connect the islands and its 105,000 people, who were cut off by the weekend’s volcano." "owever, company noted that “the previous government was unwilling to perform the contract, and it is currently subject to arbitration in Singapore”. Patouraux said: “All we need is to activate that service and perform that contract. We are now awaiting instructions. We have one simple message for the government of Tonga. We can help. Please get in touch.” Notably: "Getting in touch might be a problem, as both the 827km Tonga Cable from Fiji is cut about 37km from the cable landing station, and so is the 410km Tonga Domestic Cable Extension, which connects the main island with two outlying islands to the north. scott
