The sky tower is about the worst place in Auckland to do wireless from. The amount of noise coming off the sky tower is very high. You will only be able to cover a small area with each Cisco bridge due to interference around
It is not the equipment that determines the output, but the 2.4Ghz spectrum regulations being 4 watts. It will cost you more for a WaveLan setup as Lucent's outdoor solution (COR and ROR)does not conform to 802.11. They have deployed there own proprietary polling system and they will not work with any other vendor. So if you want to use a Linux box at home to save cost you should go with Cisco, also the drivers for the Cisco card come prepackaged in the latest Linux distributions.

CBD. The Cisco gear works in the 2.4Ghz Unlicensed band. The max power output is 4 watts at the antenna. The best thing on your home end would be a Linux box with a PCI cradle and Cisoc PCI card.
Are there any better, higher-power equivalent units? I guess cost is also a consideration here. Anyone know much about WaveLan? I've only ever played with it in an intranet type setup. --- Matt Camp --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
