I would like to find out how we can put together a 802.11b/g WLAN solution with the following design considerations:
- Multiple Wired Access Points (or digital repeaters without impacting throughput significantly) WLAN for extended range
- Use off-the-shelf 802.11 access point components
- Two-way-communication with upwards of 50,000 devices using a subset of the 802.11b/g protocol
- Thus the access-points must be configurable/programmable to use a subset of the 802.11 protocols
- Each client device will be addressed individually and will talk back only when addressed. This should simplify the MAC layer protocol as well
- Each client device will talk back using modulated backscatter
- The client device address need not be IP address compliant and could be the extended Electronic Product Code from AutoID Center
