Dastormy1 -+- I contracted an engineering company to construct my wireless tags; they are about the size of a business card, and 3/8 of an inch thick. Also, they are very light weight, rugged, waterproof and tamper proof. If the kid/kidnapper would try to take it off, the tamper proof switch would immediately alert security and the parent figure. It cost around 45k for the r&t, and $97 per tag.
Jim Vadino -+- When you say "extensive testing in the mall environment,” do you mean RF site surveying, installing AP's or just schemas in general? My email is Vanishes@hotmail.com; please feel free to contact me.
NewBWiFiGuy -+- The switches are expensive, but its truly cost over value, instead of installing 14 AP's or more, having to use expensive equipment and the extra man hours; the Vivato switch will make it much easier, since you need to install only a maximum of 3 switches to get unique coverage and is very scalable. Also, they do have a range of 6miles, and an adequate span of 100 degrees. More on this switch here (http://www.vivato.net/download/Indoor switch 2.03-01 PDF.pdf).
This project is starting on June 1st; we will have the 4 Vivato switches delivered to us May 1st. They will be incased in rugged, waterproof casings, and have custom, pole mountable latches. I will be running Rip2 on the back haul for failover redundancy and a LRP Linux firewall (more on this firewall here http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/).
