Bob, Yeah I was thinking about that as well. As well as thinking about what portions of the current alloted ISM radio spectrum would be best for node to node communication. Node to client would be over 802.3 Ethernet or 802.11 b/g/n channels. What's also interesting is that the 700 MHz A.K.A spectrum should be opening up to the public near the end of this year. If not then sometime in 2012. Line of sight paths should also help out if nodes are deployed at higher elevations looking down into the valley. Those are some of my initial thoughts what really will cause some issues is multipath issues one can run into in 802.11 space.
Below is a wikipedia article about what multipath propagation is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipath_propagation On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 1:26 PM, Bob Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > Eugene is huge at over 40 square miles.
