Steve, If you have GPS coordinates, we can see about building you a proper routed mesh network, and show you what your expected coverage's are :) We do charge 120 a hour for this work, but in 2 hours we can do quite a bit once you get us the tower heights and GPS locations. Just a suggestion.

I have a tower on the north end of town that I can't very well add many more antennas to due to contract with tower owner. The town is very wooded. I was considering putting up 4 small AP's in various areas of town to cover it to a point. Then the police dept got wind of it and wanted to add 2 of their towers. But not all have LOS to the main tower. Is this a good use of a mesh network and what are the important things to know about Mesh. I have lots of ideas but know knowledge on this. My AP's are all 100% Mikrotik but I have not heard any good about MT mesh and data on that is very slim. Help?
