Campus Wide Wifi

[Wilhelmina Randtke]

Is anyone using something like this http://www.open-mesh.com/ ?  It's what
happened to wireless mesh - it got locked down, so it works but it's very
corporate.  What is good to me about this is that you can do a basic setup
and then buy more nodes to expand range of the network.
