Thanks for the reply. We took over and currently operate a small Muni network that was originally built with Vivato panels and access points. AP's connect to the panels via WDS and this reasonably well but Vivato is defunct.
In order to continue deployment we started using another manufacturers radios with one 802.11b/g with beam forming + 802.11a backhaul mesh channel. Works very very well within itself but it does not inter-operate with the existing Vivato WDS. The factory is working on trying to resolve the issue but they don't seem real committed to getting it working (maybe that will change). On top of that, with the market the way it is, I get this nagging feeling that they may pull out of the US market leaving me with yet another unsupported radio. Not being one to wait around I am exploring alternate solutions. One idea was to roll my own mesh kits with MikroTik using two b/g + one n radio for client access, and one 3.65 as BH (we are working on getting our license). Seems like a good use of a 5MHz channel as well as spectrum. __________________________________ Jerry Richardson airCloud Communications -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Wyble Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 3:58 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] 3.65 as Mesh on Muni WiFi Jerry Richardson wrote: > I'm thinking that an MT board with two 2.4b/g radios and a 3.65 radio > might make a good solution for a muni wifi? > I might suggest some 5GHz N radios as many clients have N these days. Also 2.4 b/g of course. 3.65 can be used for backhaul applications as well as point to multi point, perhaps as a master/slave setup. What kind of coverage area are you looking at? What kind of geography? -- Charles Wyble (818) 280 - 7059 http://charlesnw.blogspot.com CTO Known Element Enterprises / SoCal WiFI project ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- WISPA Wants You!
