Hello all, The recent chatter regarding the support for Ubiquiti devices has rekindled my interest in some long distance links using BBHN. Having little mesh nodes at home and at work, hoping maybe someone will set another one up nearby is fun, but I'm starting to think a bit bigger.
Before I hassle the TARA board with requests to put gear up on the Troy water tower, I was wondering if anyone had any interest in establishing (or attempting to establish) a long distance link from that location, or if anyone had any suggestions or thoughts on what might be a short list of locations to consider. As an example, the specs for the airGrid unit put its range at 30km, which puts the Helderbergs/Thatcher Park just barely outside its range (but not so far that I wouldn't want to try!)... http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/datasheets/airgridm/airGrid_HP.pdf Any input or discussion on the matter would be welcome.
As a disclaimer, while I am on the TARA board, I haven't discussed this with anyone in an official capacity, so consider it a pipe dream at present.
