Maybe this is better for the Mikrotik list, but any vendor can pick up on this if they want :)
In researching the UBNT new stuff, I came across something quite interesting / promising. It appeared some newer atheros chipsets had TDMA built into the hardware, but I believe I was mistaken. There was, however, a software-based TDMA developed for FreeBSD that replaces CSMA in some Atheros chips, and another for Linux. I'm betting that is what AirMax is based on. It also looks like some folks are playing with integrating this with GPS, but I haven't found any actual implementations other than boards that support it: FreeBSD / GPS: http://siomail.ucsd.edu/pipermail/swap/2009-January/000683.html Linux: http://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~prasant/pubs/conf/infocom2009-tdmac.pdf Robert West wrote: > I was hoping for that myself.
