Radio communication isn't that simpleRadio communication isn't that simplePosted May 28, 2004 23:16 UTC (Fri) by dlang (subscriber, #313)In reply to: One Great Article! by huffd Parent article: The Little Engine That Could (PBS) setting up a redundant radio-based network is HARD to do right. it's easy to do something that works under low load conditions where there are only a few stations, but when you start talking about lots of different stations (be they access points or computers doing the accessing) there are a lot of new problems that you start noticing. 802.11 and it's varients have done a great job of dealing with many of these issues transparently for the users, but if you try to pack more in an area and have them all relaying for each other you really need a WHOLE lot more then the three useable channels that are currently available. I'm not saying it can't be done with sufficiant resources thrown at it, but I am saying that one of the resources it requires is more radio bandwidth
