Look at one of our vendor members, higher cost than roll your own, but everything in one box, server, radius, etc., etc. It may prove to be a lower cost for a difficult start up and difficult area, leading to better customer satisfaction and word of mouth advertising, faster ROI and penetration.

Even mesh networks have to be engineered, especially if you want it to work well. One could just scatter mesh radios and that would give self-configuration and self-healing but the performance wouldn't be good. To get self-healing you have to have redundancy and then you start getting into

that's a few radio hops away from anywhere. And that's one reason why per-hop latency is all-critical To put things in context... from what we have seen typical latency between radios (for a single link) are between 1ms to 2ms... The Moto Canopy are an exception they have much higher
