OLPC achieves 2km range for 802.11s tests in Australian outback
A tester for the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project has tested wireless technology using the 802.11s ‘mesh networking’ pre-draft in Australia’s outback and achieved distances of 2km
In a video interview with ZDNet Australia at the AusCERT 2007 conference in Queensland last week, OLPC’s director of security architecture Ivan Krstić said the Outback provided “close to perfect conditions”.
Krstić said OLPC decided to go with the pre-draft 802.11s technology because it made the most sense for the project.
