Spelling: NodeKKI
OVERVIEW
Unico is a botique software and systems integration company. We are
currently building a node for the Albert park and South Melbourne
area. Our plans include a backhaul link on 5.8GHz together with a
2.4GHz wave guide antenna (configured as infrastructure).
We also have some space to place a PTZ Webcam on the roof with the
radio equipment. The Camera will cover the Albert Park area including
the Golf Course and of course the motor racing circuit.

SITE HISTORY
April 29, 2011
JPL Link now operational on KKI 10.10.3.32 subnet. NodeKKI [1] is now
in AP mode with SSID of KKI-JPL
April 21, 2011
Mark and Raj have successfully installed a radio (west2) at NodeKKI
[2] which is currently connected to NodeJPL [3] at Seabrook. Working
with Dave the connection was commissioned late that day. The
routerboard at NodeJPL [4] is available on 10.10.17.82.
April 20, 2011
Mark and Raj with some help from Rob Britt have installed a new pole
and fixture on the rooftop and run protected cables form the riser to
the new pole. 4 cat5 Ethernet cables have been installed ensure a
permanent link between KKI and JLP. The service has been tested to
100Megabit/sec. The routerboard with is the site backbone router for
the site is available on 10.10.3.1.
February 2011
Testing continues. We have successfully created a link with NodeJLP
[5] however, the link quality does not meet expectation. To solve this
problem we have arranged for an additional radio (a NanoBridge [6] M5)
installed at the NodeJLP [7] with a direction pointing directly to our
site location. With the new radio being connected at NodeJLP [8], we
are confident of getting a better signal.
January 2011
Initial radio installation for site survey purposes. Successful
connection to NodeGHO [9] over a distance of approximately 30 kms.
Throughout for the link reached almost 60 Megabit/sec. A decision was
then made to attempt a connection to JLP as the link distance would be
shorter.

ROOFTOP IMAGES
The following images were compiled by Principal Engineer Mark
Detering (of NodeKLA [14]) for NodeKKI [15]
A view of the rooftop of 5 Queens Road, Melbourne facing East:

The easterly vista allows connections to GHO and also JLP. JLP
connectivity is limited. This is being reviewed with the connection of
an additional radio at the JLP site.
