You can throw a high gain antenna on a Linksys and have a coverage area of a couple of miles, but if it can only support 20 users then its coverage area is effectively useless in your typical urban muni deployment.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17334251 Fri, 24 Nov 2006 11:35:24 EDT Re: So what's their solution? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17333917 Matt :

Ya, but the MMC folks have "no usage logs" showing how many users are logging into this little public hotspot network. I'd guess they don't know much if they don't know this - and they would prefer to just over-estimate their coverage.

What does the amount of users have to do with the area covered? That's a bit of a stretch.

I'll believe it, when I see it in action.
Maybe they should roll out in N.Ca, SF bay area, and see
how good their network is. Until then, they're just a lot of hot air.
Did you read the article? It's in use in Helsinki and also in the Hudson River Park in New York.

In New York, Rick Kaminer of Multi-Media Communications, a service organisation building a public Wi-Fi network for the Hudson River Park, gives the same story. "I don't know how they do it, and they won't tell me, but the technology works," says Kaminer,

MMC is using two nodes from InspiAir to cover three-quarters of a mile, which appears to beat the usually quoted figures of 25 to 50 nodes per square mile for mesh coverage.
