New York Wi-Fi Survey

Via Dana Spiegel's blog, I found out about this survey.  For those of us in the NYC area, I'd urge you to go to it and take it.  It will help us find out more about how folks use wi-fi in the city, although I reside in the sterile suburbs, I use most of my wi-fi in the Big Town.

Wi-Fi Design Seminar

On the 25th of October, HD Communications and smartBridges are conducting a one-day training seminar for folks that want to know how to use unlicensed wireless networks to perform a bunch of tasks, including connecting two buildings together, creating point-to-multipoint networks, or getting into the Wireless ISP business. We'll teach you how to pick the right antennas, design your network and find the right management software and networking tools.  We'll be giving this training at the LaGuardia Marriott Hotel, and, you'll come away with a smartBridges outdoor client device, part number HD24073, a $350 value, included in the price of the seminar $150.00.  So for about the price of an hour of consulting time, you get a full day skull and hands-on ( bring a laptop ) session with guys that are grizzled veterans of wi-fi.  We run a wireless ISP, Fire Island Wireless, and we build and run wi-fi networks of all shapes and sizes, including mesh networks.  We just did the systems integration for the downtown New Rochelle Business Improvement District's wi-fi network, and can show you how to be successful in this arena.  We know the technology and the business models, and have successful projects in the field to backup our claims.  If you're already in the business and want to take it to the next step, this is an opportunity to bounce your ideas off of a team that has experts from the radio layer all the way up to the application layer, and we can tell you what works and what doesn't, and how much to spend.
