Different photos  from various individual upload via mobile iphone facebook 
upload. The photo I sent is from is from http://www.facebook.com/cktsoi

The AP is from Altai Technologies' A8 Super WiFi Base Station. Here is snip 
from a press release:

"Thimphu is the capital of Bhutan with a population of over 99,000.  The Altai 
A8 Super WiFi Base Station will be installed in one of the primary schools at 
Thimphu to provide wireless broadband access to the campus areas in this 
district.  The long range technology of the A8 helps extend the WiFi signal to 
1km in the line-of-sight environment, this helps shorten the deployment time 
and cost.  Anthony Wong, President, China & South East Asia of OLPC said, ?We 
appreciate the support from Altai.  OLPC Asia will donate 200 units of 
wifi-enabled XO laptops to the schools in Bhutan for education purposes.  
Leveraging the Altai?s Super WiFi technology, the wireless broadband services 
will cover the campus areas in Thimphu.  Teachers and students will be able to 
learn through the XO laptop and connect to them to the world.?  This charity 
project will kick-start the rural Bhutan on the road towards the digital era"

Hope in the future we can document the setup, the experience and any 
modification made to XS ? Photos can only show certain things even though 
Confucious wisdom that picture is worth a thousand words <grin>

Cheers

T.K. Kang
