Switching and Routing for All Wireless Multi-Beam Ad-Hoc Networks
posted by coderman at 2002-12-12 08:41

coderman: "The use of multi-beam antenna arrays for transmission and reception allows wireless units to send and receive tens of beams in different directions and using multiple frequency bands. If we deploy a large number of such multi-beam wireless units over a large area, we obtain a highly connected and high capacity wireless network. We call this the All Wireless Network (AWN)"
wmf: <coderman> I'm going to figure out how to do this for free with Linux
coderman: yes, with DMA based PCI 802.11a/b/g devices with adaptive MAC's coded in linux drivers
coderman: Card costs $25 in bulk. Use 8 of them. $200. Put a 1 watt amp (set for 500mW) on each, $800. Antennas at cross polarization and channels set for long haul point to point, $400. So with two end points, each about $1,400 in cost, you can bridge 400Mbits of full duplex traffic over 20-60 miles.

I'd like to have $386493 to buy wireless equipment with

jillzilla: In other words, so far beyond "asshole" that words fail me.
