[FSG-public] Data radios and clients

[Bryan Fields]

I've been doing some work looking at the HamWAN standards
<https://www.hamwan.org/t/Site+Bill+of+Materials> for access/client data
radios.  Basically this will setup us for a 2x2 MIMO AP and client capable of
hitting 65Mbit/s over the air in a 10 MHz channel at 5.9 GHz.  We can still
use the older client radios with this which do not support MIMO, but at 37.5
Mbit/s over the air data rate.  Here is a brief explanation of MCS index
values.

Below is a list of the 3 AP's and antennas and 3 client radios.  I've added in
the WaveGuard shields which increase the performance of the sector antennas by
shielding the back side radiation from them.  The cable is already installed
from the shelter to the top roof on the building, so installation and
configuration of this should be a few hours worth of work.

The cool thing here is the client setup is under $200 and about the same price
as a entry level HT.

This is a projected coverage of the AP's off the roof with a 35' client radio
setup.  We'll blanket most of Tampa Bay with very usable -75dBm signal.  Any
ham needing a link will be able to get on here and light up their
repeater/base site with an IP connection.
