Default Portable Microwave units for Emergency Communications

The idea would be to set up a few wifi capable links on
taller buildings that could be linked to some central high spot and from
there to the county's purpose built EOC.


Why not just run 802.11a/g/n links under part-15 rules, and stay out of
part 97 altogether? I can't see any advantages to doing this under part 97,
and several disadvantages.

Ubiquiti gear is inexpensive, and not at all difficult to deploy.


As for testing we could put LAN routers at one or more of the nodes to
allow appropriate local use of the WAN the links would provide which
would provide the kind of continuous use and testing that you are
talking about. We would have to have a way to shut down the LAN routers
when the links were needed for emergency management support.


Just put a webcam or two at each location, pointed at something interesting,
like a freeway interchange or other congestion point.
