[Babel-users] Babel for use in a dense disconnected mesh network

[Leen Besselink]

> Thank you, that may be a better solution. I was hoping to avoid a solution which required multiple AP's or two-radio nodes, but looking at the number of devices that may beed to be connected it would be wiser to design a system to nominally work with 50 devices and have "expansion packs" for the installations that had a larger number of devices or poor signal propagation. 
> I know hanging that many devices off one or two AP's is against convention, but the data requirements are relatively low: 2s status updates (<100 bytes/device), 3 to 5 min animal records (<1500 bytes/device/animal), end-of-session records (<5000 bytes/device/session). The main concern is issuing control signals from the hand-held devices over the top of the base traffic without suffering huge latencies.

I'm no wifi specialist, but I found this to be a very interresting talk:

There might be some useful tips in there ?
