We use 2.4 | We use 2.4 GHz 802.11g or 802.11n WiFi gear with omni or semi-directional antennas to provide connectivity to devices such as laptops and smartphones at street level and within buildings. We are currently using a variety of gear including Ubiquiti Picostation M2 HP and Ubiquiti Bullet M2 HP routers for outdoor APs. | ||
We're currently deploying a wireless backbone of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links. These devices are mounted in high places such as on rooftops, flagpoles, or antenna towers. We currently have firmware support for a variety of Ubiquiti M5 (802.11n) routers, such as NanoBridges, NanoStations, and Rockets. As of June 2018, we're currently working to establish gigabit links with 5GHz and 24GHz Ubiquiti airFiber routers, as well as 60GHz Microtik wireless wires. | |||
