Connecting 42 houses via DsLam in a 1km street in a TelephoneNetworkRollout works out to +-R1350 per home. This provides each house with a 46meg local loop capacity or 1900megs total per street. Connecting these 42 houses to a single 5.8ghz AccessPoint is more efficient financially and technically then providing each roof with a R2000 MeshNetworking setup.

Each roof should only install MeshNetworking if the whole street becomes a DistributedMeshHighsite.

42 houses connecting to a single 802.11b AccessPoint are severly restricted in their local loop bandwidth. It is far more efficient to hard wire every home to the next via underground ducting.
