Halteman Village #1
Halteman Village Network #2

The Scheidler Tower connection uses two Alvarion Base Stations BreezeAccess 5.8 GHz with each with a120 degree antenna and the Alvarion Base Station BreezeAccess 900 MHz has a single 360 degree omni antenna.  The BreezeAccess 5.8 GHz is listed to run 54 Mbps and the BreezeAccess 900 MHz is capable of bandwidth of up to 3 Mbps.

Tradeoffs between the two technologies: 

1. The higher the frequency the higher the speeds and less penetration.
2. The lower the frequency the better the distance and penetration through obstacles.

The Neighborhood connection uses ten Pedestals with Alvarion BreezeAccess 5.8 GHz Subscriber Units that connect back to the Alvarion BreezeAccess 5.8 GHz Base Stations located at the Scheidler Tower. The ten pedestals then takes the signal from the BreezeAccess unit and converts it to a Cisco access point to provide 802.11g  WiFi access to "within wireless range" houses. In addition to this the plan is to install six Alvarion BreezeAccess 900 MHz Subscriber Units at the selected neighborhood homes which are not within range of a pedestal site or at distances greater than the range of the 5.8 GHz system.

Pedestal is designed and developed at Ball State University by the DMP Network team.
