RE: [WISPA] Locustworld meshes?

The problem with OLSR, and it is even stated on the Wikipedia page, is that when you push routing tables to every device, it creates a load on the system. If you have a few nodes its not an issue, but when you are pushing routing tables for 250+ nodes, you wanna make sure that the system can handle

Re: [WISPA] Locustworld meshes?

The OLSR wikipedia page doesn't do a very good job of analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of OLSR. The big problem with OLSR is that it's fairly new, immature, and not widely used or supported (mainly open source roll your own solutions and StarOS are the only ones that I know of off the top of

[WISPA] SCADA

We operate access points off of three water tanks that are owned by a local utility district.They have aproached us asking if it is possible to use a broadband connection to replace the 900mhz radio links they use from each tower to their main office.Has anyone done this before or is it possible

Re: [WISPA] SCADA

contact Cliff Lebouf at www.cssla.com or www.triparish.net They handle all of the data aquisition for the water district whose tanks they operate off of. Although Cliff has some medical issues, I am sure he's willing to share some of his information with you. He's a great guy so you can't fault

Re: [WISPA] SCADA

Most SCADA radios, are MDS 900 mhz radios. They are connected via an RS232 connection. There are companies that sell RS232 to ethernet adapters. That would be the most cost effective way to do that. Blackbox is one company that comes to mind right now. www.dslbyair.com --- Ray & Jean <[EMAIL PROTE

Well, I disagree, in a hippocritical way.. What Meraki has done is package and make it painlessly easy and low cost for any joker in town to spend $100 a house and destroy the RF environement accross town, with noise generating Omnis, without a clue on the engineering that needs to go behind i

Dear Ray: I worked with SCADA, substations, telemetry, and wireless utility systems. Joe is accurte that the majority of utilities/districts use MDS radios. You many want to consider the new Motorola ACE3600 IP based SCADA unit which has RS-232 connection, Ethernet connnection, serial port, and o

Re: [WISPA] Locustworld meshes?

Allen, I was reading and agreeing with your insight until you asked... "Otherwise, what exactly is your problem with OSPF?" OSPF has proven to be pretty much worthless on any challenging wireless environment. OSPF works simply on Up or Down state and Hops. None of these characteristics are

You are missing the point... How does the radio know which of the two links failed? Most wireless failures deverally effecting a customer is not a Complete on or off state. A protocol needs to know when to switch from a marginal link to a lesser marginal link, even if it just looks at the two fi
