Hi Yahel,
Sorry to include out of context post.
My name is Pradeep.We are currently working in Indian institute of Madas on finding a reliable and low cost wireless mesh solution to solve the last mile problem for rural india.
We started the project in July end.
By now we have done quite a few tests on coverage and throughput using a $49 meraki mini(802.11g).
Though the coverage was good it failed on throughput as the max throughput we got was around 8 Mbps max.
Right now we are looking to design a reliable outdoor mesh node which would give us a throughput of around 20 mbps at least and for the same we are planning to use a directional antenna to create backhaul link.I have some specific queries.Your input will be valuable
1. What is the structure of your Mesh nodes??
a. Are they single radio or dual radio??
b. Which card you are using??
c. What is the Tx Power and the range ??
d.what protocol you are using..is it WiLD??i have gone through the paper on WiLD.It improves the throughput of links on the range of Kms..but our initial set up we are planning for a max distance between nodes around max 1km.So,can you suggest what protocol to be used??
e. What is the exact list of hardware requirements for building Airjaldi Mesh router??
f. What throughput does the mesh provide on 2,3 hops respectively??
g. How many users a typical air jaldi mesh router supports??
h. whats the cost of the Czech router??
May be i am asking lot of questions .But I have gone through the documentation on Airjaldi provided on the site.But i could not get clear answers of above questions from them. May be you have already answered above questions many times..If you could guide me on this it would be of great help.
