Studying up on Wireless ISP technologies
Having a lot of fun reading up on WISP -- this and mesh WiFi are what I am planning to use for the great broadband rollout of 2010.
Light posting tonight as I work on this plus other stuff -- need to figure out realistically how far away I can support a customer without incurring poor service during rain and snow.
Fun stuff -- a lot of the basic networking configuration is mothers milk to me but I have not worked with wireless for a long long time. Setting up a WRT-54 router is a lot different than setting up a 1/2 Watt Access point and calculating and tweaking signal strength. The access points are no longer commodity black boxes that operate when you plug them in -- the access points are actual computers running Linux that you need to configure before they will work. A complex process but not rocket science and once I get the first leg rolled out, each successive leg will be that much easier.
