HOPE Day 2 - Creating Reliable Links With Wifi

Posted by Eric Stein - July 23, 2006 CE @ 16:59:12 UTC
Most people set up wifi a few times in their lives - by just plugging in the hardware and hoping it works. If it's unreliable, they try to fix it by moving the antennas around and sprinkling holy water everywhere. This isn't the best way to do things, of course. There is a complex series of equations from physics you can use to optimize your network for uptime and throughput.

The focus of the panel was on long-distance links using wifi and large antennas & also wifi for large numbers of people. I got there late and didn't take enough notes, so I hope someone else has blogged on it. If I find one, I'll link their more informative article from here.
