Abstract — Deploying ad-hoc wireless mesh networks for emergency services is a popular topic. One of the main challenges in these networks is to overcome the performance hit due to the interference that is inherent to 802.11 wireless technology. A possible solution is to use multiple interfaces and multiple channels throughout the network in order to minimize this interference. In this paper, we will describe the approach used in a project focused on deploying an emergency ad-hoc network. I.
