| Mesh backbone for high-rise MDU
Hello,
I would like to provide internet services for customers living in high-rise buildings. I plan to build wired LANs in the buildings and I would like to interconnect them with wireless.
There are around 20 buildings in the area, they are relatively close to each other (100-150m)
Any suggestions for vendors/equipment?
Must be low-priced! 
Thanks,
hwd |

| Thats alot of perspective clients. I would strongly suggest 5.8. Trango P-MP if there is not much interference in the area. If there is then use canopy. 2.4 is not going to give you a stable network IMO. Smartbridges is also comming out with a P-MP but its not out yet. |

@85.159.x.x | Thanks.
I can use only the 5470-5725 MHz band, due to regulatory issues. Only Canopy? |

You can probably find a basic 802.11a bridge with Spanning Tree (for low-cost mesh capability) if you look around. Can you use 900MHz? There are some good products in that range.
There is a good list of typical low-cost APs and Bridges hosted on Wiki by Seattle Wireless.

If you find another good option add it to the Wiki, don't be shy! |

@enternet.hu | Unfortunately the 900 MHz band is not allowed to use.
I did find a product at Mesh Dynamics (www.meshdynamics.com) , but their product costs too much for me.
I would need something at around 1000 $ per node. |

We have used a Dual Radio Universal Access Point at 5.7 ghz using OSPF for routing. So far its worked great for creating a mesh type of network at 5.7 GHZ bands.
