As we are preparing to install some 5 ghz rooftop nodes, at tonight's meeting we decided to buy some essentials. We bought: * 4x nanobridge m5 routers (two large versions, two small versions) * 2x nanostation m5 routers * 3x new batteries for our makita drill and impact driver * 1000 feet of high quality shielded, UV and rain protected cat5e cable * 100 shielded rj45 connectors for the cable Total cost was about $970 including tax and shipping. After this purchase sudo mesh has a remaining balance of about $2600 We are considering starting a recurring sunday installation day where we install at least one new node every sunday. More info on this next week. We still do not have our street-level node firmware finalized but the rooftop links are much simpler so we are going to start rolling those out very very soon. -- marc/juul _______________________________________________ mesh mailing list mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/mesh
