Re: [WISPA] 3.65 as Mesh on Muni WiFi (OFF LIST)

Jerry,

802.11b/g with beam forming

Is that Gonetworks's  or Wavion ? (I am not aware of a 3rd mfg. doing
outdoor radios with beamforming)

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. 

We took over and currently operate a small Muni network that was originally
built with Vivato panels and access points. AP's connect to the panels via
WDS and this reasonably well but Vivato is defunct.

In order to continue deployment we started using another manufacturers
radios with one 802.11b/g with beam forming + 802.11a backhaul mesh channel.
Works very very well within itself but it does not inter-operate with the
existing Vivato WDS. The factory is working on trying to resolve the issue
but they don't seem real committed to getting it working (maybe that will
change).

On top of that, with the market the way it is, I get this nagging feeling
that they may pull out of the US market leaving me with yet another
unsupported radio.

Not being one to wait around I am exploring alternate solutions. One idea
was to roll my own mesh kits with MikroTik using two b/g + one n radio for
client access, and one 3.65 as BH (we are working on getting our license).
Seems like a good use of a 5MHz channel as well as spectrum.

I might suggest some 5GHz N radios as many clients have N these days. 
Also 2.4 b/g of course.

3.65 can be used for backhaul applications as well as point to multi point,
perhaps as a master/slave setup.  What kind of coverage area  are you
looking at? What kind of geography?
