Pete and myself Installed a nanostation m5 on a 20 foot aluminum flagpole in west oakland. The node is about 14 feet above the roof of a two-story building. The total cost of this install ran to about $145 including all materials.
Bill of Materials:
* One nanostation m5 loco
* One 4 foot wood beam of 3.5" by 3.5"
* Three 5" by 1/4" bolts
* Three 5/8" washers for bolts (optional)
* Three 1/2" washers for bolts (optional)
* Two 5" hose clamps
* 30+ feet of outdoor shielded ethernet cable
* Two shielded/groundable ethernet plugs
* A bunch of zip ties
The optional washers make it easier to tighten and untighten the bolts (otherwise they dig into the wood).
Material sources:
* Nanostation from Amazon
* Flag pole from habor freight
* Everything else from home depot

They had 60 seconds at the end of the night to pitch an idea. I wasn't very
prepared but I mentioned the People's Open Network. The whole stream is
available online. ustre.am/UknO <http://t.co/K4lwq0YEos> There's a feed on
twitter too (#sfnt), I'll apply and see if we can get a full segment there.
Hi!
Ubiquiti in point-to-multipoint configuration performance is really bad
with current open source OpenWrt ath9k drivers. Ubiquiti has TDMA
implementation and that works very very well. Using that for backbone
links is really great. But, sadly it is closed source and now that one
cannot use their SDK anymore to customize firmware we are stuck in good
and cheap backbone hardware.
Is there anybody who would be able to implement TDMA into open source
drivers?
