Wireless is a good option with a few caveats: 1. At the speeds you are talking about, you need line of sight. Usually, this means getting up high to account for curvature of the earth and clearing of what is called the fresnel zone for the particular frequency you are using. 2. You will need

I just got off the phone with an old boss of mine. ;-) It would appear that there is a large fire at a ConEd plant that has now caused a cascading power outage in the Northeast. Some more plants may have tripped offline because of the load they absorbed from the loss of the other plant.

Re: Cascading Failures Could Crash the Global Internet

2003-02-06 Thread N. Richard Solis
I don't know of too many electrical distribution networks that use DC interconnection to limit AC failures from propogating. The main cause of AC disruption is a power plant getting out of phase with the rest of the power plants on the grid. When that happens, the plant "trips" of goes off-line
