Thats right, the Aspen community of Tulalip/Marysville is now online! We pulled a -75 dbi link with 3ms latency off the tower, 17 miles to the Point of Prescence, with a 2' parabolic grid antenna (lovingly nicknamed "The BBQ".) The 5.8Ghz Line of Sight link pulls a steady 7-8meg down and 5-6 meg up link.

That link then connects into the back of a 2.4Ghz 802.11b radio with a 15dbi omni to redistribute the backhaul link to the neighborhood. Ben grabbed some snapshots with his camera and will upload them when he gets back from his vacation next week.

Dennis and I go out tomorrow morning to test range on the client radios from the POP. I'll post results this weekend.

Special thanks goes out to Don for letting us locate on his property.

Regards,

Aaron
