Re: Small city
True.
They could have had some different software in the product. The DLink enterprise routers only allow 52 on it at a time i think.
Its hard telling what they use actually without going and finding out. |

The Detroit Free Press says the "Wi-Fi network is made up of about 60 antennas, most mounted on utility poles."
This is a pretty impressive deployment.
It also says they get 2 million tourists a year. |

I agree, probably a cheap router and a simple omnidirectional antenna.
While it is technically possible to use one of those cheap AP, only a limited number of users will be admitted. Typically cheap APs from Linksys, D-Link etc. can only accomodate 32 or so users at the same time. That is why enterprise/wisp grade access points are more expensive while seemingly offering the exact same service. |

Theres a few cities around Ohio that are that big that are considered Cities now.
But all you need is to put the antenna on a water tower the city owns and you got it set  :p |
