Welcome to the home of a Mad Wireless Scientist. Wireless Architect, experienced RF engineer, Specializing in Designing, Building & Maintaining Wireless Broadband "Last Mile" Systems & Networks. This goal is driven by a basic understanding of radio & my enjoying "wireless". My goal is to stay as current in technology as possible & love to teach others the "trade" while building tomorrow's systems, building them TODAY...

Current engineering focus is on the design, construction & configuring of licensed/unlicensed broadband systems for fiber-to-wireless (point-to-point), WISP's & WiMAX (WISP stands for Wireless Internet Service Provider).

Over 25 years of RF experience in the spectrum of 150KHz through 30GHz.

Name: Raffe'
A true old world, very hands on, radio man who strives to build the finest in "Last Mile" wireless broadband systems using basic, sound engineering principles, 25 years of experience & the finest in current system components. Experience tells you what NOT to use & you avoid the typical mistakes of a novice's inexperience.

I have held 2 FCC licenses for 25+ years - a 1st Class General Radiotelephone & a General Amateur Radio

I really enjoy this pursuit after a long career in RF lab work, field work on systems. In 1995, I attended school for Wireless Site Design & went on to construction management for AT&T Wireless.

After spending 10 years in cellular system construction, I left the road to change career direction & build a broadband connection to my rural farm in Southern Virginia to telecommute. Now I have not only brought fiber to wireless 17 miles, I have a roughly 10 mile service area for my neighbors. In launching the systems, I learned what it takes to vault broadband's reach for access. All systems have been built where it had been said to be "impossible" to cover remote or rural areas!

Fiber->Microwave-&g t;Access->Customers

As an Engineer, I don't take "NO, it's impossible" easily...
