Not common? 5.7GHz is where all the wireless backhauls are currently located. http://www.wbanc.com If SF decided to go with 5.7GHz 802.11a clients, then I'm sure the market would gladly support replaceing everything you own with the latest and greatest. (Evolution. Upgrade or die). However, relocating the backhauls to 22Ghz may be a bit of a challenge. considering the mesh network rule of thumb of the week of no more than 3-4 hops from client to backhaul, and 100 access points per square mile, that means 25-33 backhaul radios or wired connections per square mile. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@comix.santa-cruz.ca.us 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
