I'm researching various free space optics solutions, particular MRV's Terescope with the backup radios (~$45K)
http://www.mrv.com/products/line/terescope.php http://internetcommunications.tmcnet.com/news/2008/04/18/3395257.htm http://www.mrv.com/library/library.php?ctl=MRV-OTHER-MRW55-Prod http://www.go-nowires.com/wireless-blog/wireless-10gige/ Like any technology, I hear glowing reviews from some people and horrible reviews from others. I'd be curious as to what others there thought of FOS solns in general, and MRV in particular. In many cases, I'm seeing cameras feeds coming together to a wifi multipoint / mesh scenario, and from there the traffic that needs to be backhauled to somewhere else (e.g. a police station) exceeds the 20-25 Mbps that one can reasonably expect from current wi-fi radios (I've seen more in more modern radios that start to use draft-n technologies). 10 Gbps is a overkill in all of my situations, but I can envision some times in which it might be useful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
