Worst case Canopy FSK, best case fast Ethernet switchport on my backbone. I don't anticipate much load on these things, this is just free WiFi for general purpose use in highrise building lobby/café/farmers market. -- Patrick Shoemaker From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@w

That would REALLY depend on what his connectivity "pipe" is. If he's putting DSL or Cable modem at these locations to provide the backhaul, he's going to suffer in one direction or the other. That said, we do still have one marina on DSL, unfortunately, however all the rest are on 5Ghz backhauls

Why not use MT Routers to PPTP tunnel the remote networks back to your NOC with one one server managing/monitoring all the networks? Less costly and you get the benefit of a single server to view all the networks and a MT on site for diagnostics and bandwidth management. - Jerry From: wireless

Is anyone using Ubiquiti's UniFi APs and running the controller software on a device other than a normal PC server? I'd like to deploy these things at some remote locations (free public WiFi hotspots) and am looking for a single board computer or something like a SheevaPlug that will run the co
