[olug] Wireless LAN

[JWLUCAS at up.com]

I would suggest that wireless LANs such as those that meet the 802.11b or a
standard can connect building or a campus but are not the solution for high
speed access. That is what the 802.16 or fixed wireless access is about. If
companies or landlords etc. in the area have sufficient interest in such
solutions this is not a difficult thing to accomplish

Subject:  [olug] Wireless LAN


Hi,

A while back there were some threads regarding 802.11 wireless networking.
I
have never played with it, but I had a question maybe some of you could
answer.

Would it be possible for an apartment landlord to use it to provide
high-speed
internet to tenants? (To avoid retrofitting Cat-V in the walls.)
Specifically, can it travel through the walls reliably
enough to a central router connected via, say T1 access? Or does it really
have
to have a _visually_ non-obstructed line-of-sight?

Thanks,
Chad
