You, too, can set up a personal wireless Internet connection of your very own over distances of up to several miles. All you need are two microwave antennas; some long Ethernet cables; a couple of photographic tripods; a laptop; an old WiFi Router; and a power supply. The total cost to you? No more than $200. The sheer geeky satisfaction? Priceless.
K... Sooooo my brain hurts.. I'm the guy who goes in with dynamite and a sledgehammer.... do they have something like IDK a "WiFi satellite" ? Like pick up WiFi from IDK McDonald's or something?
I am interested in setting up point to point microwave internet in new york city and reselling as a WISP. Can I buy internet access as a business customer and resell it's bandwidth to customers in residential buildings? How can I make that happen?
Very good article on inexpensive ways to bridge a network across roads or other obstacles without wires. This wil work perfectly for an opera festival that is in a field across a road and some distance from the office. Wires get broken or eaten by mice Can't be buried or overhead because of legal and historical reasons. Thanks!
Hi and thank you for you most interesting posting here Patrick. I am trying to outfit a system for our neighborhood of 100 homes that are currently limited to 1.5Mb fiber.
My question is two fold:
I do have point to point line of sight from my rooftop to a church(source of internet) which is 1.3 miles. I would like a recommendation for the equipment to use from from my roof top. Then what additional equipment for connecting neighbor users from my roof top and the ability to control their bandwidth.
If there is anyway I could spend a short amount of time speaking with Patrick or someone knowledgeable like him over the phone I would greatly appreciate it.
