We have added an analysis of potential supplementary WiFi and Bluetooth modules to add transceiver capabilities to the micro-controllers that will be the core of the system design.

An analysis of existing advanced, high throughput proprietary and open source mesh network designs indicates some of them use separate dedicated transmit and receive transceiver systems to maintain high output (ie ... avoid having to multiplex the transceiver between receiving and transmitting).

While more advance, high throughput open mesh systems as might existing in many commercial telecommunication infrastructure build outs can afford to justify the higher costs of their hardware design the goal of this project is to balance, performance, reliability, ease of maintenance and cost to make the project viable for developing regions on a modest budget.

The analysis had been added to the project files.
