Re: [smartBridges] Questions on SmartBridge Products

I did'ent think it was. But something that I thought the Smartbridge products was great for was that you could use that point-to-point application between two APPOs, and then any customer that had line-of-sight to either APPO could use your service.   Kinda a double coverage, but the second APPO is getting the bandwith from the frist.  There was another discussion of a person setting up a omni antenna on a customers house to serve out to a few homes in a valley.   I was planning on doing the same thing, except the subdivsion has around 160 homes within 2 miles.  And non of them have broadband access :)  I know I can't put them all off of one APPO, but its a nice area to try to focus on.  The only thing it costs me is two APPOs!   Dennis   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 4:21 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Questions on SmartBridge Products Yes, provided there is a line of sight to the access point APPO.   You should understand setting up the APPOs in a point to point scenario as access point/client is pretty much the same as setting up a PtP link in wireless bridge mode. Generally, the only significant difference is that you lose some bandwidth to overhead when using an AP/client setup. I am moving towards abandoning the wireless bridge mode in favor of AP/client setups for PtP links because it affords me the flexibility to add clients in between (provided an appropriate antenna is used).   Every situation is different, and there is no substitute for advanced planning. The WISP business (and any fixed wireless application in general) is not a cookie cutter venture, even under the most ideal conditions...   Jason -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Burgess Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 5:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Questions on SmartBridge Products Yes, but does that mean that anyone that is between the APPOs would be covered, i.e. customers, clients?   Dennis   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 3:18 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Questions on SmartBridge Products If you have one aPPO set up as an access point, then other aPPO's in client bridge mode can connect to it.
