The new Ubiquiti M-series Airmax 900 MHz radios should do it. MCS10 in a 5 MHz quarter-channel is around 10 Mbps. A lower-loss path could allow MCS11 or MCS12. While you can't synchronize sectors, they look like they will outperform Canopy at a fraction of the price. Maybe they'll even ship this year. ;-) As to mesh, MT has HWMP+ as a layer 2 meshing protocol. It looks promising, though there has apparently been very little use of it in this hemisphere. But them I'm planning to do everything at layer 2, trying to build a switched network if I can (vs. bridged). BATMAN-Adv does a layer 2 mesh too, your basic open source code. I don't know anyone using that one either. This type of meshing is basically like routing, just operating below IP so it treats IP (or other protocols, hint hint) as payload and doesn't try to deal with IP addresses. -- Fred Goldstein k1io fgoldstein "at" ionary.com ionary Consulting http://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
