We have a dorm complex consisting of 22 small apartment buildings with 500 residents. Two buildings on the site have fiber connections and we need backhaul from the 22 apartments to those buildings. (See a map at http://som.csudh.edu/fac/lpress/471/hout/dorm/dormdescription.htm).
Has anyone had experience with a mesh network for this sort of application? We have been talking with Strix on this. If mesh does not work out, we would probably do a point-multipoint link from the two buildings with fiber to the 22 apartment buildings then cover those with WiFi. Vivato and Proxim seem to be likely vendors -- are there others we should consider?
