'Free access' wireless network becomes available

Thanks guys, the main aim of the network is to form an educational and R&D backbone for our distributed research projects, which requires connectivity over a wire area.
One spin-of is the hosting of educational content (Wikipedia & MIT course-ware) for schools.

We are using 5ghz because 2.4ghz is completely saturated in the George area, with over 700 2.4ghz access points in George alone.
We are creating a brand new network using ubiquiti radios and mikrotik routers exclusively, using the new 802.11n airmax standard (picostation, nanostation, etc - http://ubnt.com/airmax). This gives a potential throughput of 150Mbs.
Another decider was the latency issue. For educational content and voip the lower the latency the better.

150Mbps is wishful, i doubt you will get this on all your links, just from experience....Also the current problem with UBNT products is that they don't support an MTU larger than 1500 so if you planning to run Mikrotik routers to do MPLS forget it .... well at least for the moment.
