Wireless Infrastructure set-up and layout.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Should we have a base station and work off that?

Control Centre --> Base station --> Robot

The above would limit CMDrecon to a low range for video stream (say 20m max for 
video and 'line of sight' for control).

It would do the same for CMDoverwatch BUT: CMDoverwatch can have a bigger 
antenna making its maximum video stream range 100m with control up to 200m.

Any other suggestions?

Other notes:

Current available wireless infrastructure:

 - Edimax dongle (current range of about 20m moving)
 - Digitech High-Power Wireless dongle RT2780 (current range of 100 - 150 m with building low interference)
 - 2* RT3070 (Can see networks about 2.5 km away.  Its access point ability has not been tested although it does work the range of this network is unknown.
 - Alfa 036H (range unknown but could be more than RT2780 BUT: not supported by RPi)

I have decided that we are going to continue hosting the network off the robot. 
 We should be able to get a range of about 500 - 600 metres using the two 
RT3070.

We must do testing on this tomorrow.
