I need to implement a MANET sensor network and would like to be able to  
use  
the USRP units that we have on hand for this. Presently we have a bunch  
of  
N210 and B210 units. What I am after if an adhoc mesh network capable  
of a  
range of about 1km using the ISM band or other such open spectrum  
allocation. I was reading recently about the 802.11af standard and  
thought  
that this may be a good place to start though I am open to better  
suggestions. I have searched around the web and cannot find anything  
that  
is ready to implement. I would be inclined to purchase a solution that  
is  
ready to go and would like to know if you are aware of any company that  
has  
a successful implementation of such a MANET and would have a turnkey  
solution to available for purchase. I would be grateful to get your  
opinion.
