Mesh Networks Per a Yahoo MB post here is the abstract of a paper presented earlier this month at a conference. I was thinking the benefit of this approach would be to increase the width of the broadband connection while holding down the cost to connect hotspots. Now wonder if it doesn't fit with maintaining security of individual hot spots while permitting a mesh network? Feedback welcome. April 15, 2003 Abstract: Imagine a city center where people in the streets, in shops or sitting in café?s can log into the Internet from their PDA?s or notebooks through WiFi technology and have access to all the information available on the Net. These people can access specific information about entertainment in the city, special offers from local shops, access general information on the Net and download emails form every place within the city. This presentation includes a case study that gives insight to how Wireless Access Networks can be implemented by interconnecting WiFi Access points through a Passive Free Space Optical Fast Ethernet Backbone. Passive Photonic Airlink (PAL) transceivers are very small and can easily be installed on lamp posts and walls in the street to provide high bandwidth access to WiFi hotspots. The combination of the PAL based backbone and WiFi Accesspoints enable a cost effective, license free, WISP access network roll out within weeks. <back> infoexevents.com
