There is no current thread on Haiti, but I was at a get together last night in Miami, and I was speaking to a wireless engineer who maybe going to Haiti with Miami Dade County’s IT and SAR Teams. Their plan is to provide ubiquitous coverage with PtP, PtMP, and Mesh Motorola gear! Pretty cool that they will be using all the wireless technologies to provide voice, video, Internet, and command and control VoIP inter-communications.

GOD BLESS AMERICA
GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE OF HAITI…and GOD BLESS MIAMI DADE COUNTY!
