Re: anyone using 3054's as wds mesh network
Thanks for the reply. I am glad I didnt order also. I was looking for a system for the future and it looks like a good system but after the price increase I will have to wait. I told the sales guy I cant compete with the local telephone company at those prices. I guess I will stick to 802.11 for a while longer it has worked well so far but would like the added distance and the mesh network idea of the skypilot system looks like it would work well for our area. Any other stable, reliable and not new companies have this type of system for sale that anyone knows about? I know the 802.16 is just coming into play but if it does what they say I would like to try it out. Thanks |

| The only thing that comes close to Skypilot's price range is »www.qorvus.com/ ... their gear is also priced steeply ($1000 for a mini-itx?). However, you can build yours and add thier $100 OS ("qCode" -- LocustWorld hybrid) to run the mesh.
Haven't used it, but hear good reviews about it. |

| polk5,
What is your experience with qCode so far? Hope it's not only a web-enhanced LocustWorld. Are there system improvements worth it and is there any talk about multi-radio/802.11a support? MeshDynamics speaks bad about single radio mesh.
My cuurent architecture is: multi-radio (CM9/200wM senao) in: (CM9 ptmp 5.8 backhaul) and (2.4 AP)... this I believe defeats the 1/2-factor of single radio mesh. testing WRAP + Star-OS in this setup. |
