Hey everyone: I'm working with a venture that's looking to set up project-related communications. Wireless broadband (including 802.11b) seems to be the best way to go, as the endpoints in question will be PocketPC devices and they will move around on a given project; and then the whole thing needs to be uprooted after a given period of time and moved to somewhere else. The network will be used for high precision data collection (and a lot of it) from other devices that talk to the PocketPC; and so there needs to be off-site communication; possibly T1 or perhaps store-and-forward using some sort of GPRS/1XRTT network (which is outside scope of investigation)
It seems that a pseudo hub-and-spoke model such as you get with Vivato's gear is a good idea, with a mesh network laid on top so that it permits peer-to-peer interaction (which is necessary since the measurement devices are not physically proximate) as well as the "Traditional" endpoint/access point model. It'll be an indoor/outdoor environment, so the gear needs to be appropriately hardened. If it was you doing it, what would you use? thanks -- dhk -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
