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.
- limitation on backhaul is that more tenuous links need directional antennas, which means point-to-point, which means one radio per destination, so:
- Ramifications of wireless backhaul on:
- captive portal
- load balancing
- Report on Communitecture outage, repair.
- Possible new node near SE 21st and Tibbetts (possibly involving a 60-ft ham radio tower)
- Discussion of United Way counterterrorism compliance declaration
- Down Nodes
- Discuss Monthly Agenda
