Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for receiving a timing signal at a first access point, wherein the timing signal is also received at a second access point. A first time is synchronized at the first access point with a second time at the second access point based upon the received timing signal. The first access point is configured with a spreading code and a transmit frequency. The second access point is also configured with the spreading code and the transmit frequency. The spreading code of the first access point is synchronized with the spreading code of the second access point using the timing signal. A message is transmitted from the first access point to the node and from the second access point to the node.

1. A method of communication, the method comprising: receiving a timing signal at a first access point, wherein the timing signal is also received at a second access point;synchronizing a first time at the first access point with a second time at the second access point based upon the received timing signal;configuring the first access point with a spreading code and a transmit frequency, wherein the second access point is also configured with the spreading code and the transmit frequency;synchronizing the spreading code of the first access point with the spreading code of the second access point using the timing signal; andtransmitting a plurality of messages from the first access point to a node, wherein the plurality of messages are simultaneously transmitted from the second access point, wherein the first access point and the second access point appear to be a single access point to the node, and wherein the node successfully receives the plurality of messages. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first time is synchronized with a remote timing source. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the remote timing source is a global positioning system. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising configuring the first access point to function like a second access point such that the first access point and the second access point behave as a single access point. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first access point and the second access point use a common identification. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting a time based upon a remote timing source to the node. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a first timestamp associated with an event from the node;receiving a second timestamp associated with the event from a second node, wherein times of the node and the second node are synchronized with the first time of the first access point based upon the timing signal; anddetermining a location of the event based upon the first timestamp and the second timestamp. 8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising: instructions to receive a timing signal at a first access point, wherein the timing signal is also received at a second access point;instructions to synchronize a first time at the first access point with a second time at the second access point based upon the received timing signal;instructions to configure the first access point with a spreading code and a transmit frequency, wherein the second access point is also configured with the spreading code and the transmit frequency;instructions to synchronize the spreading code of the first access point with the spreading code of the second access point using the timing signal; andinstructions to transmit a plurality of messages from the first access point to a node, wherein the plurality of messages are simultaneously transmitted from the second access point, wherein the first access point and the second access point appear to be a single access point to the node, and wherein the node successfully receives the plurality of messages. 9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the first time is synchronized with a remote timing source. 10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the remote timing source is a global positioning system. 11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, further comprising instructions to configure the first access point to function like a second access point such that the first access point and the second access point behave as a single access point. 12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the first access point and the second access point use a common identification. 13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, further comprising instructions to transmit a time based upon a remote timing source to the node. 14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, further comprising: instructions to receive a first timestamp associated with an event from the node;instructions to receive a second timestamp associated with the event from a second node, wherein times of the node and the second node are synchronized with the first time of the first access point based upon the timing signal; andinstructions to determine a location of the event based upon the first timestamp and the second timestamp. 15. A system comprising: a processor configured to:receive a timing signal at a first access point, wherein the timing signal is also received at a second access point;synchronize a first time at the first access point with a second time at the second access point based upon the received timing signal;configure the first access point with a spreading code and a transmit frequency, wherein the second access point is also configured with the spreading code and the transmit frequency;synchronize the spreading code of the first access point with the spreading code of the second access point using the timing signal; andtransmit a plurality of messages from the first access point to a node, wherein the plurality of messages are simultaneously transmitted from the second access point, wherein the first access point and the second access point appear to be a single access point to the node, and wherein the node successfully receives the plurality of messages. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the first time is synchronized with a remote timing source. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the remote timing source is a global positioning system. 18. The system of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to configure the first access point to function like a second access point such that the first access point and the second access point behave as a single access point. 19. The system of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to transmit a time based upon a remote timing source to the node. 20. The system of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to: receive a first timestamp associated with an event from the node;receive a second timestamp associated with the event from a second node, wherein times of the node and the second node are synchronized with the first time of the first access point based upon the timing signal; anddetermine a location of the event based upon the first timestamp and the second timestamp.
