When the subduction zone earthquake comes, here's what we do; hook up
Joe Christenson's MotoSat dish to a Department of Transportation
portable sign trailer. It uses solar panels and a battery bank. Get
them cheap on E-Bay.
On the trailer we'd store 1-2 telescoping ham antennas, a couple of

Portland co-working facility NedSpace and OSU's Open Source Lab are rallying
tech volunteers in Oregon to help the relief and recovery efforts following

Great idea, Dat! Here are some ideas I've gathered together:

Hi Don:
I visited a homeless who is building bike motorhomes yesterday, and posted
them on Craig's List.

Brian is (perhaps) a schizophrenic with some great ideas.
I'd equip one with a solar-powered WiFi Clearspot ($130 + $30/mo), combined
I'll second that.

I'll second Tyler's comments. Congratulations, Russell. Also, I thought
those were thoughtful comments on the future thrust of PTP, as posted on

Yes, but Meraki's Solar mesh repeater ($799) is 100% solar powered. It
combines the latest lithium iron phosphate batteries with a powerful
200 mW outdoor Wi-Fi radio. It requires a solar panel (20 or 40 watts)
— which is sold separately. I bought a 20 watt panel for $135. Add
another 20 watt pane
On February 24, Meraki will release its multi-radio, 802.11N device
for local and long distance Wi-Fi mesh networks. I like Meraki it just
works. Coupled with Clear for backhaul, it's cheap, fast and reliable.
The management dashboard is dead simple and provides all the control I
need. Expertise

Skypilot has an interesting new approach; they use their 5.8 GHz
backhaul network, not for backhaul, but to deliver to end users. The
5.8 GHz cpe connects to the current Skypilot access points and

Okay, here's another idea:
(1) Take two Nanostation 2s (one for WiMAX backhaul, one for local access).
(2) Strip out their radios.
(3) Install a mini ITX board with Open Wrt for PTP access on one NS2.

That one-piece WiFi/WiMAX box? It's probably not a good idea. I read
that the WiFi tends to kill the sensitivity of the WiMAX backhaul.
A PC Express Card inserted in a mobile router would be convenient - I
could pull it out of the mobile router and put it in a laptop,

I want to make a Wi-Fi hotspot with WiMAX backhaul.
But current products don't seem to meet my needs:
1. One-piece outdoor box.
2. Runs Wi-Fi Dog (or other captive portal software)
3. Does not require Linux skills to maintain.
4. Draws 10-12 watts @12 volts
5. Uses WiMAX for backhaul (USB, PCI or
