GENRIP for Ultra Low Cost Wireless Deployments

Posted by michael on from the masochists-wanted dept.

Gregory Perry writes "A South Florida company just released GENRIP, an open source (as in GPL) project for Linux that turns low cost serial line devices (such as 900 Mhz radios) into IP addressable nodes; right now the technology is being used by various robotics groups to replace existing wired tethers on robots with wireless radio links, but the important thing to mention is the ability to use cheap radios to create wireless lan segments without the power and cost requirements associated with 802.11 WLANS."

    Why say "South Florida"?
    Does it matter where in the state they come from?
    Actually, does it matter what state they are from?
