Yes! ogWiFi and SIMtone are bringing connectivity to the Hill for the Net Neutrality rally!
Here are photos of our roaming node internet valise! The not-so-little darling includes the following:
WiMax 802.16 wireless access modem connected to an 802.11b/g wireless access point/network address translation (NAT) router (WRT54GL) running a version of Linux and a very big battery! All loaded into a Sergio Valente suitcase.
Not as elegant as the Wireless Toronto Roach Coach but not bad for 45 minutes of work! See you at the Peace Flame!
The unit worked well, but failed completely on the steps of Parliament. A block south, it was just fine. I guess, no WiMAX there, despite what the LEDs on the unit suggested.
POWER: half-way through I realized that the PA system had power, and that likely, since we were friendly with the organizers, that we could have used that power.
