Mobile working? So where on earth is wi-fi heaven?

How does the slide of a hot spot show that the city of Tallinn is good for Wi-Fi coverage?

Michaela = A good indication of the coverage is gained by just 'walking/driving about' scanning as you go. The spectral diagram presented is a sample - just one - and it is pretty full. The whole of the 2.4GHz slot appeared crowded everywhere I went. In most cities in the world I would see 2, 3, 5, 7...spikes/signals...Tallinn has rather more. Other interesting places to do this are NY City and London where the location of nodes are on floors above you and at the same level - i.e. a 3D distribution instead of the planar models you see in publications. The difference is they are mostly locked down. Woods Hole is fun too - free access and lots of bandwidth:-) Hope this helps, Peter
