Hi Skunks. Been thinking of starting an internet hotspot business in embakasi. What would be the prerequisite to start small with the ability to expand in the near future? I am thinking of a system where potential clients connect to an open WIFI network and are redirected to a login portal. area of lets say 1km. -- J.M.SINJA The market, like the Lord, helps those who help themselves. But, unlike the Lord, the market does not forgive those who know not what they do

On Access points and streaming video via wifi
by Silas Savali 19 Dec '13

We are currently planning a party for a friend and I wanted to load some videos on a server then hook it up with these powerful outdoor AP (its a big hotel) then have all the guests log in and stream the video(via XMBC or MediaTomb) to their devices (720p and higher video mark you) I have several questions 1. Do these Access Points have a maximum no of users who can be connected? 2. Do they have a maximum bandwith? 3. What are the disadvantages of these idea and what should I watch out for? I haven't made a decision on which to buy so go ahead and suggest whatever you think has the highest no of simultaneous users and bandwith

Re: [Skunkworks] POS & ETR Connection

Therz a guy who did this connection, earlier versions of dynamics do not support the opos fiscal printer device. So it was an interface to read a text file from dynamics receipt then print to the fiscal device. That's the solution I've heard of. Not sure if latest version of dynamics has opos fp support if it does and you upgrade I can help you configure that.
