Motorola Backbone

The Motorola backbone is a wireless network build with Motorola cannopy equipment. The network starts at Meraka and goes right up-to Mariepskop and then down to Mbuzini. See picture:


Throughput tests

The following benchmarks are for network throughputs between Meraka and each one of the remote sites. The measurement tool that was uses is iperf
