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
February 2011
Testing continues. We have successfully created a link with JLP
however, the link quality does not meet expectation. To solve this
problem we have arranged for an additional radio (a NanoBridge [1] M5)
installed at the JLP node with a direction pointing directly to our
site location. With the new radio being connected at JLP, we are
confident of getting a better signal.
January 2011
Initial radio installation for site survey purposes. Successful
connection to GHO 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.

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.
