Performance
• Latency
< 10 ms per hop, 1-3 milliseconds typical
• Hops
Outdoor : Code supports 8 Hops. 3-4 hops are
recommended
• Nodes
One RAP supports 32 PAPs. 20 nodes are recommended

Mesh AP Re-convergence Sequence
1. Sense Disconnect
2. Scan Backhaul for Neighbors
3. Establish Optimal Path (Ease) to new RAP
4. Authenticate to Parent; establish Mesh Tree
5. Re-DHCP (if necessary)
6. Connect to Controller • Static IP Address
• DHCP (Single VLAN)
7. Begin Passing Traffic • DHCP (Multiple VLANs)

Discussion Points on Wireless City
• Wimax
Mobility is needed, not there yet until 802.16e which will require new
hardware
Client devices not really before 2007/2008 + renewal time
Capacity will require high density as one BTS delivers same capacity as
802.11 g/a but with higher EIRP
• Hot Spots
easy deployment based on DSL ( telephone booth and street cabinets )
compatible with existing access devices today ( 802.11g )
• MESH
easy way to expand Hot Spots into Hot Zones
complete auto-configuration of neighbours ( plug&play )
