More on WiFi Antennas
Aaron Mefford sent me a couple of interesting links related to WiFi can antennas. The first has a number of useful links, incluing places to buy N-type connectors, etc. along with instructions for building and using the antennas. It even has a little javascript application that calculates key dimension for parts depening on the diameter of the can you use. The second, called Cantenna is a commercial product that you can buy for $19.95. Pretty good when you consider most commercial antennas with a 12dB gain cost around $150.

Springville Get Into the Game
Not too long ago, I blogged about the incredible regional network growing up in Utah county. Now it seems Springville, another Utah county community, does not want to be left behind. Springville is buying the network assets of a company called Switchpoint (née Airswitch). This is how American Fork got into the game. I hope they got a good deal because from what I know, the Springville plant was the first prototype and American Fork was the second, more engineered build-out. Nevertheless, when you add in the communities that will be served by Utopia nearly every community in Utah County will be on the net with high speed access.
