New test network segment for G.R.I.P.

Last weekend's work on the tower was completed successfully and we now have a new segment to the network operating on a different frequency. The new segment operates at a lower frequency then the existing infrastructure, allowing the signal to penetrate farther through obstacles such as trees. This will hopefully allow the connection of people who are in currently problematic areas of the island to join the G.R.I.P. Network!

Currently the 900mhz segment is only in test-mode, installed at the base of the tower. In time, once it has proven itself, we will be taking tower down to install the antenna high on the tower to provide better signal. At that point client installs would be possible for the new segment.

Users of the existing network segments have no need to switch over as this new segment only provides an advantage to those who are not able to reach the existing segments.

    What kind of bandwidth does one get on the normal GRIP network and how does this compare to the bandwidth of the 900MHz segment?
