Network Performance

I was looking at one of the HD ipCams on our network this evening and thinking how far mesh deployments have come in a relatively short period of time.  Just 3 years ago, we were toying with ch 1 and linksys hardware, barely able to go just a few miles with limited quality links struggling to open a web page.     The ipCam I accessed today had smooth video and I could remote control it with instant feedback.  Check out the distance and routing obtainable --QTH to the ipCam:.  

QTH -> Saddleback:  4.7m  3420 @ 10 Mhz
Saddleback -> Laguna Woods:  11.4m  ch 149 @ 10Mhz
Laguna Woods -> Pleasants Pk:   15.2m ch 174 @ 10MHz
Pleasants Pk -> Yucaipa:  35.7m ch 168 @ 10Mhz
Yucaipa -> RedLands:  4.2m ch 172 @ 10Mhz
RedLands -> Elsinore Pk:  31m ch 176 @ 10Mhz

Total RF mileage:  102.2 miles
Ave ping time:  37ms
