Administering an ever expanding network such as ours requires a lot of time and effort. To successfully do this, and to keep things running as smooth as possible, we have defined a basic hierarchy for classifying network nodes.
At the top of this hierarchy are the most important (or 'mission critical') nodes, and working towards the bottom of the hierarchy we find nodes that are less relied upon for network continuity.
Below is a map of current Air-Stream Wireless nodes across Adelaide, this information will be updated when ever possible subject to conditions. For more information about accessing the network please read our Access Policy. For significantly more detailed information and tools members can log-on to the members only database. Information includes planning tools for node creation, IP & DNS allocations, mapping modules, WEP, terrain, satellite and LOS signal propagation prediction tools.
On Saturday (7/8/10), Nekron, Shadey and myself went up to Hillcrest to see if we could get a trailer mounted mast connected to the network. It was a successful day! Nekron has written a blog with more details on it here http://www.whatsmoke.com/wordpress/?p=190
Hi all,
I have for sale:
2 x Ultrawap V2 90mW AP's (only one power supply)
1 x approx 2.5m RP-SMA extension cable
1 x Superpass 8dBi Omni with N-Male to RP-SMA pigtail
1 x Magnetic Base Omni approx 7dBi RP-SMA connector
I'm open to reasonable offers.
The unit is on the roof and pinging Air-Stream-Skye:

After 2.5 years of flawless operation using OpenWRT flashed Mitsubishi R100 boards (aka Asus WL500G) the Athelstone access point was upgraded in July 2009 to an all Mikrotik Routerboard affair. The upgrade plan was as follows:
Decomissioned access points are moved here to remain as a historical record.
Is there any help required for AS_Torrensville to get it back on the network? friend of mine (bob-liveshere) has been off for some time and would like to help get it up and running again. i also have some free time, and would be keen to visit the site for a look for potential links in the west!

Has anyone had any luck with non los link’s using 900 MHz?
I have got a yagi board antenna with a quoted 6 to 7 bd gain (http://www.wa5vjb.com/products2.html ) with a small alloy corner reflector added on the roof (http://users.adam.com.au/dron/mtbarker.html )
Network administration have updating the 'line of sight' data for all nodes in the Air-Stream node database to add a feature which allows you to flag a node as 'needing LOS update'. The processing will then be done periodically in the background, to keep this data up-to-date!
You can view the line of sight plot for a node by clicking it and selecting 'Show LOS Coverage' from the popup window. Please note that this plot uses digital elevation data and thus only accounts for land mass, not trees, buildings, or other obstructions.
