| Re: Google Wifi ttaleric - 8/22/2006 3:37 PM Free??? That is sweet!! Ya, very. Just did some more testing with my Wi-Fi expert. Works fine at 35 MPH on local streets. Then onto the highway, streaming video at 60 MPH without problems.

| RE: Google Wifi pleubner - 8/23/2006 9:39 AM ... and for those in europe... By the way, Daimler labs are working on a different system, running at 5.9 GHz. Antennas are installed for about a year now in the California testbed around Palo Alto, about 20 on El Camino, and 4 or 5 on highway 101. Here's a picture what they look like. If anybody finds one take some pics...  PS. I'm driving to San Francisco for dinner tonight and should pass 4 of them.

| RE: Google Wifi Here some more info. GoogleWiFi covers the city of Mountain View only, the city where Google is located. Here's a start: http://wifi.google.com/support San Francisco is also in the works, together with Earthlink, but that may not go online until next year. This morning the speed is very fast, and just as designed slightly under 1 Mbps. I optimised a bit. It's fastest when in line of sight of an antenna. I now use a 200 mWatt WiFi modem so I can connect a network, and the signal is up to - 68 dBm to the closest lampost antenna, which is a very strong signal. WAN Connection Info: Signal level: -68 dBm Bit rate: 12 Missed beacon: 0 ESSID: GoogleWiFi Mode: 802.11g Frequency: 2.442 GHz Channel: 7 | ||

| Re: Google Wifi ttaleric - 8/26/2006 6:13 AM Wolf is that you in that pic?? No, I took the photo, Joe. Here's another one, the 5.9 GHz DSRC antenna closest to the DaimlerChrysler R&D North America. On the intersection of El Camino and Page Mill in Palo Alto. (DSRC_ant.jpg) Attachments ---------------- DSRC_ant.jpg (109KB - 3 downloads) | ||

| RE: Google Wifi Here's a map of the post onto which that last DSRC antenna is mounted. Stuffed into the corner of the intersection....  | ||

| Re: Google Wifi Ya think it would be easier to see if the arrow were red?  Ya think they'll be getting worried about you taking all these pictures, especially now in this time?  On a more serious note, amazing how technology has gone, and how much money companies have made to be offering this!! | ||

DSRC is different from WiFi. (DSRC_michigan.jpg) Attachments ---------------- DSRC_michigan.jpg (53KB - 3 downloads) | ||

| Re: Google Wifi OZlander - 8/29/2006 2:04 AM Go the next step and "Geek Your Ride". Build a PC into your ML then you can even use VOIP to get free phonecalls over WIFI! No more working out which phone will work in your car. Some follks are running Skype already. I saw a report in the wifi.goggle.com discussion groups. I started an info page: http://www.whnet.com/4x4/telematics.html | ||
