You hang these babies, supplying backhaul either by hardwired LAN or by wireless link to whichever ones you can. The rest, you just hang and power up. The awesome Tropos logic in the radios does all the rest. This is not WDS mesh, or that funky open mesh stuff or the wireless uplink stuff that UniFi does. This is what the big boys use. They find the nearest “gateway (the ones with the backhauls) using the fewest hops and begin working in minutes. If something happens to the gateway the mesh self-heals. There is no controller required and each radio has its own management system you can access over the wireless or wire. If all else fails, they can be rebooted or reset by using a universal infrared remote control (security code selectable) without even needing a ladder or bucket truck. There’s even a hidden “rescue” SSID that gives you full access from the ground (uses https and the security code is selectable) You can do multi SSID with or without encryption and even assign VLANS to SSIDs. At our Atlanta based WISP, we’ve got a fair amount of surplus Tropos gear. The original prices were in the $2500-$3500 price range and we are asking but a fraction of that. We have model 5110 (11b mesh) for $35.00 each and 5210 (11g mesh) for $100.00 each. They come with antennas and mounting brackets and we have some of the power cords and photocell adapters for very cheap as well. You should buy a couple just to see the way real mesh is done! BTW- the 5210s give 12v, 24v, or 48v passive POE out as well, ready to connect almost any backhaul radio so you don’t even need a POE or switch to make a gateway. We use ‘em with Nanobridges as backhauls and they work great. Shipping is extra. I am going to try to get an inventory list up as soon as I can at http://brightlan.net/surplus Contact me, Ralph at (404) 906-2653 if interested
