<div dir="ltr">Just to kick the cat around,<br>Hardware would consume more monies in setup and maintenance than is practical in my belief. But to proceed any way each node in chain to get max thruput would require two radios with distance setting (cos over 3k) since in bulk for your 134 +spares say round that out to 150 @ $100 then antennas say 2 15 db panel to maintain high rates at best 11mb/s over distance 150 @ $100 (guess). Mounting hardware even cheap @ $50 min given structure to hang it off. Now where are we up to 1500 + 1000 + 500 = $3000<br>
Then if this is to have any chance maintaining a level of service say max downtime of 4 hrs tech time is $exxxxxy, cos I would not get outta bed for cheap on a cold wet night with this many nodes even at 99% uptime each and max 1 hr downtime, say probs every 2wks for 1 hr with no backup that would be 67 hrs down time per week OUCH etc. I'm getting tied of this. Some one draw up a spread sheet and we could develop and do what if with our guesses. prices good at time of quoting and will be honoured until I next wake up, good nite, um good morning.<br>
hope that helps George (cos I'm not Dutch)<br>Regards from the BBQ Co-Ord<br>PS should I do a spread sheet for the price of sausages?<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 9:56 PM, Sjors Provoost <<a href="mailto:sjors@sprovoost.nl">sjors@sprovoost.nl</a>> wrote:<br>

Average distance between nodes: 10 km (more?)<br>
Number of nodes: 67<br>

if all done with 802.11 gear I doubt there would be much through put from one end to the other. This is why<br>
telco's have multi gigabit optic fibre between nodes.<br>
