Skypilot has an interesting new approach; they use their 5.8 GHz backhaul network, not for backhaul, but to deliver to end users. The 5.8 GHz cpe connects to the current Skypilot access points and Extender.
(http://www.dailywireless.org/2008/09/30/skypilot-long-range-5ghz/) The only catch is the backhaul, of course. I suppose you might use Mobile WiMAX (at 2.6GHz) -- but what would be the point? Wouldn't it be interesting if you could backhaul using a 1Gbps, unlicensed 60Ghz radio. Then deliver 10 Mbps to Meraki/Open Mesh boxes. A little academic, perhaps. Still that approach uses the unlicensed band all the way -- 60GHz backhaul, 5.8GHz CPE, and 2.4 local distribution. - Sam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ The Personal Telco Project - http://www.personaltelco.net/ Donate to PTP: http://www.personaltelco.net/donate Archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.wireless.portland.general/ Etiquette: http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/MailingListEtiquette List information: http://lists.personaltelco.net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
