The discussion so far has revolved around 802.11{a,b} wireless which
is a host to network modality.
There is another wireless mode, which is point-to-point radios to
interconnect sites/networks. We have successfully done this in the
past at the Alliance All-Hands meeting using equipment that provides a
100 Mbit/s wireless link to the hotel where we hold the meeting.
Dr. Hurley at CAU and I talked about this idea some a couple months
back as a possible technology path for some locations in Atlanta.
