If the number looks good, I will ask them if they've considered meshing. The benefits should be obvious: get unbroken data from hurricanes when the ISPs go down and from remote places with no ISP coverage in the first place. <br><br></div><div>I don't know if their wifi is strong enough to cover the gaps, but weather data is really low-bandwidth so perhaps repeating the same signal 1000+ times an hour could allow a lot of statistical noise removal. <br><br></div></div>
