Agenda

• Drink Delicious Beer, Eat Tasty Pizza

• Need Business Cards for NetworkOps, lets use [http://www.moo.com/ moo.com]!

• Schedule and start to plan MeshPlayDay

• NodeGrandCentral on Mississippi - status? install when?

  • 27 dBi 802.11a antennas ordered (can use a 2.4GHz omni for the time being)
  • AC enclosure ordered

  • possibly should buy a PoE switch like [http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10389589 this one]

  • Russell's thumbnail proposal for remaining gear:
    • limitation on backhaul is that more tenuous links need directional antennas, which means point-to-point, which means one radio per destination, so:
      • at grand central, eventually use both metrix radios for backhaul, and a cisco or maybe a meraki (60 dBm radio) for local coverage

      • put another node with high-gain antenna at SelfEnhancementInc, and somewhere in between put the last metrix on a residential roof with an 11a omni backhaul visible from GrandCentralBaking, SelfEnhancementInc and MississippiCommons, providing link redundancy and good neighborhood coverage.

    • use MGP specific funds as available, backfill with PTP general funds as necessary.
  • Ramifications of wireless backhaul on:
    • captive portal
    • load balancing
• Down Nodes
• Discuss Monthly Agenda
