it's always been a long-term goal of mine to create some form of globally-scalable wireless mesh network. to that end i tracked down a copy of the IEEE 802.22 standard as it represents the best foundation that computer scientists have yet developed, tested and deployed. range of mobile units: 5km. range of static (base station) units: 60km.
Before you spend too much time on reinventing wheels (and discovering that some theoretically perfect wheels turn or to be a bit square when confronted with reality), you should take a good at existing deployments of mesh wireless.
Freifunk in Germany is rather popular, and works rather well (although it generally is not making very many wireless links before it hits a wired uplink.
that's totally awesome. thanks for mentioning these existing projects, phil.
