Please only reply after reading this and tell me if you believe it is
possible.
I have spoken with the tech support guy from this company and he tells
me it SHOULD work.
The wireless Router/Bridge is from a Canadian company call
WAVERIDER... here is the link with the specs.
http://www.waverider.com/pdfs/NCL1170.PDF
btw.. this thing costs ($1000)
They say that the range using an OMNI-DIRECTIONAL (High Gain
of-course) antenna can give you 7km range.
Here is my PROBLEM.... I need just over 6km range BUT there is a LOT
of TALL , HUGE trees along the way.
I suggested this idea... and they said that it SHOULD work. I would
like to hear your opinions. BTW - I know using parabolic antennas is
the proper way to link sights this far away... but it is IMPOSSIBLE to
get a tower (that can be climbed) that high here.
My idea is to get a HIGEST GAIN possible omnidirectional antenna and
mount it to a very tall pole and then mount that pole on top of a huge
barn. Getting the antenna OVER the trees (damn trees!). Then using the
same combination at my other location.... OR (if that doesn't
work)..... using a Yagi antenna (maybe even the 10" cAntenna III from
http://www.etherdesigns.com/pages/1/index.htm) to pick up the signal
from the omni directional antenna at location 1.
Do you think this would work.... Please only reply if you KNOW for
SURE. Has this EVER been attempted before???? Any help would be
GREATLY appreciated.
BTW: if this DOES work...... do I have to buy these EXPENSIVE
routers... or would just an ordinanry WAP11 / WAP54 do the same thing.
Thanks! (cross my fingers)
