It would if we can do it. On the current tower there are three sector antennas that can hit points 360 degrees from our location.<br><br>Whether they stay there or move somewhere on the new tower, we need to flash the Soekris node that's connected to them with Commotion, then configure it to share bandwidth from the IMC. It has multiple radios as well, so it could provide both AP access to the immediate outdoor area and/or provide initial backhaul connections to ~10 other nodes currently installed outdoors in the downtown urbana area.<br>
<br>someone else mentioned needing a wiki- I'd suggest that this group could totally use the ucimc wiki and collaborate with the IMC tech group where we already have some documentation on wireless stuff.<br><br><a href="http://wiki.ucimc.org">http://wiki.ucimc.org</a> <br>
