Hmmm...I read with interest a while ago that some of the list members are interested in adding wireless capabilities to the Subway, but since adding repeaters to the 24 hour underground sections would be difficult it was not deemed practical. However, I am just curious to the prospects of adding Wireless LAN capabilties to the Long Island Railroad or Metro North Right-of-ways (ROWs). These tend to be on specialized embarkments or on flat ground, and they tend to go through relatively prosperous and educated communities where notebooks and handhelds are widely used, and most LIRR coaches (The M1s and M2s) have at least one power outlet on each car.
a) Is it technically feasible to use APs to access networking resources on a train traveling at 60mph traveling aboveground? b) Are there people with access to broadband and APs who happens to be living near the tracks and are willing to make their nodes available? c) Are there any legal problems with putting up APs near these ROWs? -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
