[CWN-Summit] Remote Monitoring of Wireless Networks

[Bob Dixon]

We would like to monitor the health of several community wireless 
networks located in rural areas.
They are connected to the Internet via satellite links which we 
provide.  We already monitor things like routers etc that have remote 
monitoring capabilities.  But we are finding that is not enough. We 
need to know if the wireless signal strength is normal at various 
points, if traffic is getting thru etc.
Are there easy and inexpensive ways to do this?

Bob
