We all know that designing and installing a wireless network that covers a wide geographical area is no small
task. There are so many variables to consider that it can make one's head hurt. This Cnet article talks about a few of
these networks, and one in Chaska, Minnesota in particular.The biggest issue Chaska faced was to ensure adequate signal strength was available to all areas where it planned to deploy service. At a nominal $16.99 per month for 750kpbs to 1.2mbps service, the pricing and speed model looked like a great balance to me -- that is, if you can get enough signal. The signal outside was fine, but residents found issues with the signal when moving outdoors. Perhaps everyone should have used their internet access on back porches with WiFi laptops?
