    We are slowly getting beta testers online. There has been fair planning involved to choose suitable testers as we need to ensure that the product can be sold, deployed and supported properly.

    The testing is only off the 3 Rock mast. This means that the immediate catchment area is Dundrum, Balinteer, Sandyford etc.

    If you have previously failed a LOS for the fixed wireless service and you are in the 3 Rock area - let me know. If you are a potential client - with or without a previous LOS AND are in the 4km or so radius from the tower (indicated in the areas above) then contact me - and I will see if we can get you to do some beta testing for us.

    chaz, as you are now saying 4km, does this mean that when or if tallaght goes ripwave, will any of clondalkin be covered. I am at newlands cross and am not sure how far away it is from the transmitter. Thanks in advance for your reply.

    4 KM is the 'ideal' non los distance. We have seen it do more - but we are working on what the specs are from Navini. Clondalkin is 6-7 kms from Tallaght - a bit of a push - so not likely. It is a guideline - we will adjust it as time goes - but for now - 4 kms is the proposed distance for proper non los.

    I see you are all comparing prices about broadband. An excellent guide...

    Here is info about Ripwave

    URL is http://www.irishbroadband.ie/IBB_offer_ripwave.pdf

    Impressive?

    This is a news article about Ripwave. You might have to subscribe to ENN to see this site. It is a free subscription.

    The videos are quite informative.

    I'd like to hear your comments on this subject and whether or not it will fail or succeed.

    Thanks.

    I feel if the testing of Ripwave does succeed I feel there will be a price war. I know one has to be within 5km of a base station to get this wireless broadband option. Base stations are starting to crop up all over the place.

    Best thing also is that it is mobile and I hope this will come in because I do a lot of travelling around the Dublin area.

    PIE about site testing, can you just call the people out and get them to check that you will be able to receive this service or can you only do this when you order the product? I live within 1km of the base station in RTE so I feel that there is a chance I can qualify....When I move to another rented house in Blackrock later in October I will also qualify. I really want to know more about this product and any help you can give me, I would appreciate it. I have all the press clippings and have phoned the company. I heard Start of August as a release date?

    The sooner this service comes in the better. I use broadband in work but I don't have an I-net connection at home. My parents use ISDN and I will never ever go back to 56k.

    Thanks.

    Ripwave availability 1-2km from RTE base station or Blackrock area. I live in Clonskeagh but I am right beside UCD. I am about 1.5 km from the RTE mast and sure as hell want Ripwave.

    I hate Eircom for keeping broadband from consumers and charging extortion prices for the service. The sooner this whole area of broadband gets a little competition, the better.

    Want a tester for the UCD area/Roebuck Castle area for Ripwave? I am 1.5km from the rte base station. Even less in fact...

    I cannot wait for Ripwave to fully roll out.

    Thanks.

    There is no current Ripwave system on RTE. The testing is off 3 Rock.

    I cant say, simply as I have heard no plans to put it on RTE. I doubt RTE will be used, as there are other sites that can cover that area - but as I said - im not sure as not much has been spoken of future Navini roll out down to site detail.

    Much effort has been going into the testing on 3 Rock and getting ourselves ready to mass deploy once ready.

    Chaz, the monitoring software that comes with Ripwave definately said it was connected to the RTE mast when I saw it.

    Send me a screenshot ....

    LOL - thats odd - unless a 5 man team installed a 2 week project under my nose without telling me or asking me to help carry something.

    Im too curious about this RTE system - it could be that the Navini software was setup to have RTE in the name or such - but that software that comes with the kit is not really worth too much - the system will work 100% without - but send me a screeny if you can of the 'RTE Navini'.

    So there is no availability of Ripwave in the Roebuck.UCD area or blackrock area yet. Funny in the press release on the website says "The Irish Broadband network is up and running throughout South Dublin and the
    City Centre having secured high sites in Donnybrook, Three Rock, Sandyford,
    Tallaght, Blackrock, the Digital Hub area, Mountjoy Square, and Fitzwilliam Square."

    I take it this is not for Ripwave.

    Anyway any information available on this in the UCD/ROEBUCK area or Blackrock area is appreciated. If i cannot get it for some months then Im going to have to give my money to eircom. Actually maybe esat cos i like them.

    I'll try to get one later though :]

    The person whom pie relates to as having ripwave is me. :)
    Im in churchtown, and just last week thurs 17th they offered me a trial of their ripwave product.
    The reason they asked me to test it is, last easter i asked for a los of their main wireless product and i failed it beacause there were too many tree's.

    Pie is mistaken, im getting my signal from 3 rock. Thats the only place they have a ripwave transmitter.

    I dont have much time. so im not gonna go into detail about it at the moment but if u have any questions just ask. :p
