Some of the gear in route to PaP
The Network Startup Research Center is sending parts of their teaching kit -- Ubiquity NS2, Ubiquity bullets, Ubiquity picostations -- and others are sending the wireless CPE units, UBS spectrum analysers, ... and of course, Cat5 rolls, that they have on hand.
The goal is to get the kit together to setup a wireless data network in the PaP area to connect 10 to 20 locations back to a central VSAT dish and provide over the network local data services (incl. VoIP, data sharing etc.) and as well internet access. And then deliver and install it.

Discussion is on NANOG and off-list among the usual (humanitarian) suspects. Any wampum readers wanting to either sponsor some wifi kit (I'm going to be consistent with the NSRC's teaching package, which currently uses Ubiquity as the primary wifi h/w vendor) or send useful equipment leave a note in comments and I'll get back to you after I get back to Ithaca/Cornell from Geneva/CORE, early next week.
