NodeGLT
The following is an overview of NodeGLT:
Current Status
- Currently in testing mode.
- Running Access Point 24/7
- Set Access Point SSID as "NodeGLT"
- Set the AP to Channel 1
- If you can connect to my AP please email me:
Access Point Information
I am currently using a SVEC access point, see link.http://www.svec.com/PRODUCTS/wireless/FD1811.asp
The AP was purchased through the Melbourne Wireless TIB, see link. http://www.melbournewireless.org.au/tib.php
Antenna
My antenna is an Omni directional homemade using LMR400 cable and based on an article at the following link: http://wireless.gumph.org/articles/homemadeomni.html.For properties of the LMR400, see link.
http://www.timesmicrowave.com/telecom/pdf/LMRGuide.pdf
I used the following to calculate my sector length for the LMR400:
- V = velocity factor of LMR400 = .85
- C = speed of light = 299792458
- F = frequency of signal midpoint = 2441000000
- Calculated 1/2 wavelength as 52.19mm and based my construction on this sector length.
Cable loss from Access Point to Antenna is calculated as follows:
- 150mm of LMR195 = .1 dB approx. (19dB / 100 ft = 19dB / 30480mm = .0935dB / 150mm) plus
- Connector = .5 dB approx. plus
- 2300mm of LMR400 = .5 dB approx. (6.8dB / 100 ft = 6.8dB / 30480mm = .51 dB / 2300mm)
Nodedb.com
I have found the plotting features of the www.nodedb.com site useful, for this reason I have also registered with this site, see link below for further details.http://www.nodedb.com/australia/vic/melbourne/view.php?nodeid=349
My node id in Melbourne is as follows:
349 - via www.nodedb.com
GLT - via www.melbournewireless.org.au
Must Do!
- Interested to contribute to getting an effective wireless network operational in our area.
