I have been readin alo about 802.11 etc , and the setups which various
communities in the US have made.
I am looking at rolling out a WMAN, covering several thousand
buildings, this would allow public wireless access, together with
tagretted hotspots, the typical hotels etc model.
However looking at this model I have come up against one major hurdle,
and that is backhaul, the model only seems to work with wireless
backhaul. I cannot seem to find much information or models where this
has been used, except one in Minn.
including hardware vendors who provide assistance with this.
My questions are simply :-
1. how far can you backhaul on wirless
2. what is the redundancy model on it
3. how much data etc
If anyone has any cool pointers for this, I would sleep a happy ma :-)

A word of caution in trying to do anything cheap. The average consumer
may except a flaky connection for a while until, something better
comes along but a business won't. A commercial system needs to be
designed for a five nines availability. Anything less then this will
meen a very high churn rate on customers.
Cost may be a big factor. A wireless backhaul system is not cheap.
Trying to sell access over a 802.11 backhaul will probably fail in the
long run. Using equipment that is so cheap as to make it common will
render the spectrum unusable for most long distance links.
