Too Many Experiments

I normally would write about the latest experiment however I have been busy running two many experiments at the same time. I have purchase upgrades to the solar experiment however I have not had the time to put it together and run it. The new experiment is the 3 new MeshAP that I have built. The are currently 2.4 Ghz and 900 Mhz solutions. The 900 is running a special card Antheros type card. So far I have not much success and this is due to the lack of tools that are available to me. Hopefully I will get it to work and write about.

900 Mhz has a better penetration through trees and buildings than the 2.4 Ghz radio cards. The 900 Mhz can be go distances of over 25 miles or 40 Km. The through put runs at about 54 Megs. So as you can see as a backhaul solution this would work pretty well; again however, in theory yes but in practice one can assume only half the throughput and distance.

New telephony call Trixbox is the Asterix replacement. I have plans to up grade these services but just need a few hours to get is running and integrating into the wireless mesh.
Oh, as part of the Trixbox I was planning to build a supercomputer i.e. small parallel system that would help in the computation of the sugarCRM system that goes with the Trixbox.

All of these are great project but I just don’t have enough time in the day to work, play and have fun.
