Thought some folks might be interested in this presentation given at NANOG meeting this week.
*Abstract: * This presentation will address planning and deployment for a 50Km link between the City of San Francisco's fiber network and the Farallon Islands off the coast of San Francisco in support of the scientist on the islands and the California Academy of Sciences project to provide a high quality live streaming camera on site. The presentation will cover the requirements for a very limited budget and power consumption, issues of remote deployments, long distance microwave links over the ocean, sensitivity to the largest breeding colony the contiguous United States. Additional network topics will be the requirement to support various services on the island via VLANs, fiber deployment to overcome distance and lightning, RF path calculations, "tuning" of the radio modulations schemes to provide the best up-time and remote support of a location that may only be accessible once a month. http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog49/abstracts.php?pt=MTYwOCZuYW5vZzQ5&nm=nanog49 -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
