Hi Mike,

There's no site survey and testing being done yet. As of now, I've 2 solutions in mind, which is either point-to-multipoint or point-to-point in a daisy chained manner.. Antennas would be pulled outside the windows..

First concern for ptmp solution is contention and maybe signal cancellation but Criss has pointed out that signal cancellation only happens from a common source to the receiver and multipath occurs. So, contention may be an issue.

For the ptp solution, using different channels per bridge segment, contention is eliminated but there may be an issue on throughput degradation. If for repeater mode, then we would have duplicate frames which effectively half the throughput for each hops. But for the mentioned solution, each bridge segment is connected via a copper connection to another bridge segment. It would be interesting to know how the performance would be degraded. This is somewhat similar to multiradio mesh vendors who has one channel for 1 hop and another channel for another hop and they refer this as full duplex transmission.

Have a nice day...
