2) I was asked for advice on bringing wifi to a public housing
development in the Boston area. I'm inclined to recommend the
Linux/openwrt-based ROBIN/open-mesh <open-mesh.com>. It looks as
if a central run of conduit, with Ethernet to each floor to
support a gateway, from top to bottom of the 8-story building
would be very useful. Someone recommended that the concrete
floors should be reviewed via x-ray

or ground penetrating radar (GPR).

prior to any drilling.
I called a company that does GPR that said it'd cost about
$2,000. Anyone here happen to have relevant experience/advice...
able to suggest contractors well-positioned to do either the
drilling and/or radar/x-ray?
- Thanks,
