Although I have finally pulled some strings for commercial tower space
come spring.
Good work!
Without one end up high (above the average 100 foot
trees),
No. If you have 100 foot trees, you can't run long distance outdoor 802.11
you need amplifiers to go anywhere, or a MESH node
every
couple miles?
No, and no.
So far I have not done anything with Mesh, and it sort of makes sense
for the distance/propagation delima.. Till I think,
wait a second,
802.11 is still half duplex, so when you make a (metric) hop using a
mesh topology, aren't you effectively cutting your bandwidth in half?
And in half again, and again with each new node.
So there is more to this than throw a bunch of nodes out there.
(bandwidth and hidden transmitter stuff), there is
just no easy way
around a decently designed network.. backbones! Then there is the oh,
well we want to expand the network this way (something not in the
original plan), and how to make the subnet and routes all work, short
of re-addressing everything.
You got it in one! Please someone please package this text inside
something nice and solid, like a baseball bat, so we can whack the next
person with who has this idea.
I watched the HamWAN DCC video.. and I have often
thought about 5 GHz
Mikrotik Groove as they way I'd go if I were to invest in equipment
again.
No, stick with multi-chain polling stuff, like the MIMO AirMAX, and get
200mbit plus symbol rates, and solid 90mbit ACTUAL throughput.
More so, if bouncing off say a water tower actually
is doable.
No, stick with nice clear line-of-sight paths for infrastructure.
By all means, play with things as an experiment, but puhleeeaze don't hide
such a catastrophe inside a seemingly functional network, or you will bring
the rest of the network to its' knees.
Whoever has IP 44.12.3.97, please stop sending UDP
5678 to 255.255.255.255.
I'm getting this every single minute.
Hehe, a single UDP every minute.. If that was over the old 1200 digipeated
network it'd DDOS the entire network! lol
