I am using 5gwireless access point in marina del rey which is actually 3 radios and as I drive around the marina I switch between radios.
I use Timbuktu to remote desktop connect to my office and I have no trouble with disconnects while changing radios or if I have a momentary loss of communication with the access point due to obstruction Timbuktu will keep on going as long as the disconnect is not too long. The same has been true for web pages. I am using a Mac to connect to a windoze machine but I do not think that has much to do with it. I think the client radio software needs to allow the roaming. I think 5gwireless has done a good job setting their system up so it works well while roaming.

The point I'm making is that people, especially people who are advocating the use of wireless, often don't take the time to understand the actual capabilities of the network that they are publicizing. Mobile connectivity means that the application keeps running while the user is moving through the area of coverage and from access point to access point (yeah... and even behind buildings and other obstructions). I'd be very surprised if this WiFi network really has that capability.... well, I guess time will tell... jack (and his evil twin, kcaj) Dave Close wrote: > Jack Unger wrote: > >Hmmm, just wondering if Mr. Keegan is saying that applications on > >my laptop will continue to operate (and not disconnect and have to > >be restarted) as I'm moving around town or riding in a car? > > Given that you appear to be running Windoze, why would that be any > different than normal?
