Spread-spectrum radio systems are not that easy to DoS, a good benefit from the original military applications. Trafic sniffing is something to worry with, but IPSEC is there to be used when needed... A 11Mbps (half-duplex) wireless LAN is capable of carrying multipoint traffic interests of a dozen peers with up to T1 speeds traffic interest. Those speeds were very common in south america when telecom state monopoly was in place, so it may fit the original poster requirements. Most wireless vendors have or will soon start shipping upgradable cards to the 40-60 Mbps wireless standard, which may be more suitable for aggregating long-haul connections.

Datacenter crossconnects over wireless lan? Now that's clever, but at the same time not very scaleable, and it's also quite frightening. Nothing like DoS and traffic sniffing from some troublemaker in the parking lot... -Paul On Wed, 17 Apr 2002, Rubens Kuhl Jr. wrote:Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2002 11:12:48 -0300 From: Rubens Kuhl Jr. <rkuhljr () uol com br> To: nanog () merit edu Subject: Re: Links between cabinets at commercial datacentre Are there any rules preventing radio transmission on ISM bands from the cabinets ? You could reach other cabinets from yours with wireless LAN...
