First impression is that we'll get greater thouroughput from 802.11a and
possibly longer range. The max tested distance that I found was under 300
feet which would be more than adequite for most office buildings. I'm
assuming that we could get it to reach the 1500 feet from HQ to the pit, but
that the rate of data transfer would be quite slow.
I'll do some more research tonight.
