Re: 1 1/2 Years of SkyPilot

Ottawa's BelAir and Nortel has been selling "antenna switching" mesh nodes like Skypilot for some time now and there are a few local installations that I have been checking out.

My observation is that the smaller size of the individual antennas limit the backhaul range between nodes in rural areas, while the high cost limit the number of nodes that a small WISP can deploy.

IMHO off-the-shelf mesh firmware like WILI-MESH will allow me to build my own 4-radio node for a fraction of the cost and I can size (and aim) the 5Ghz backhaul antennas appropriately for my inter-node distances.
