[TenTec] Just a 'foot-in-mouth' observation

[Richards]

Stuart...  a serious question here...   Will all of that, especially the 
MESH system, work after a big EMI pulse type incident?  If  not, what 
would be the fallback plan?

The local boys set up a similar system, if not the same, and they were 
really proud of it - they got it up and running quickly and it worked 
and allowed the transmitters to be scattered all over the property - 
some nearly a quarter mile apart, while maintaining a single real time 
logging database.

My only objection to their setup was that the wireless nodes were sorta 
vulnerable, standing out in the weather on tripods, with gel type 
batteries for power, and it was all sorta exposed to the weather, and 
where the marauding children or the killer bees could easily get at 
them.   (Although under a "first-things-first" approach, I suppose they 
can worry more about security next year, having proved the system works 
this year...)


Thanks.
