Marlon,
I have seen a flurry of activities getting started. Discussions on the
best ways to organize the WISP industry, ways to synergize with FCC and
FEMA efforts and also a bunch of volunteers ready to be in the disaster
areas.
All of this is good signs. In order to add to the momentum, we would
like to pledge 50 XO and 50 XO2 radios. So people can start planning
their activities knowing that this equipment will be available (through
one of our distributors).
Hopefully this helps.
With best regards,
Nimesh Parikh

Thanks Nimesh!
I know Joe. Mac Dearman is down there too. Things are not looking good
at
this time.
WISPA is officially working to co-ordinate some kind of help for these
guys.
At this point we don't know what people are in need of though. And
until we
can get a handle on that it's a bit hard to do too much.
I think it wise to get equipment moving to the area. Whether it'll be
purchased via insurance/disaster funds or donated is anyone's guess at
this
time but at least it'll be close by when someone down there can identify
a
way to actually deploy it.
I'm guessing much of the existing gear will have been up high and
therefore
is probably usable yet. We just have to figure out how to power it.
Again,
only time will tell though.
From what I saw on the news last night it sounds like the most critical
need
right now is water and guns! Not necessarily in that order.
Anyhow, I've cc'd the wispa board on this. Rick Harnish is heading up
the
effort so he'll likely be in touch with you guys.
thanks so very much!
P.S. I guess now we'll see if the rest of the world will help us as
much as
we always help them.

Thanks Marlon. We are interested to help and can provide some wireless
equipment. Just yesterday I had sent out a few emails to get the word
out. At the Tsunami time this had proven very valuable and Red Cross HQ
had very quickly become connected in Aceh. Please have people get in
touch with our David Wilson.
Ps. I had exchanged a couple of emails with Joe Laura. His house is
under water and I am sure the whole WISP network must be gone too. He
estimates that he can't return to his home in New Orleans for 3-4
months.
With best regards,
