Hi,
I am trying to help a friend who lives in an olf farm in a remote
location, where unfortunately phone lines don't allow ADSL because of
the distance, and no TV cable is available.
A nearby village has been trying internet over the 220V current network,
but it would take repetitors and amplificators every 300m to reach their
farm, and it would cost them a lot. But the village also has cable TV
and ADSL is available there.
The village is about 3 km away and there is nothing between my friend's
house and the village, only fields and even the fields are well below
the line of sight.
If my friend could convince one of the village people to let him use
their phone line for ADSL and place an access point on the house wall,
maybe he could use a directional antenna to reach that house ?
What kind of equipment would be best in that case ? He lives in
Switzerland and if the needed hardware is not available there, it should
be possible to order it.
Thank you for all suggestions.
