Hi Frank: While mesh wireless networks can work fine in a fixed wireless context, since the network topography can always be adjusted (by adding nodes or repeaters) to make it work, and power supply is not an issue, I do not see how the VDMA approach could even be proposed in a mobile context, where communications depend on the random location of users between a sender and receiver, and their willingness to deplete their batteries to carry somebody else's transmission. I also note that the WLGS enthusiast who contacted Jim posted the same message on many wireless threads on SI. I remain persuaded that investing in WLGS is as much of a good bet as playing Russian roulette with all chambers loaded. Best regards, Bernard Levy
