Check with Butch Evans, seems like I remember him building a MESH system using MicroTik for a municipal Police Department.

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?
