I am trying to create a multi-point wireless network. The main server
will be 10km away. I do have LOS. This sight will be having a
OMNI-DIRECTIONAL antenna about 80ft above the ground (to clear and
obstuctions). Once of the recieving ends (which is 10km away) will be
using a 24dBi parabolic Andrew antenna to try and link to the
OMNI-DIRECTIONAL antenna. Here is our delema.... We first considered
using a 15.4dBi omni 70inch antenna (from fab-corp.com) with a 1w
outdoor amp linked to a 200mw Long-Range 802.11b router. After finding
out that this was ILLEGAL.... (I'm assuming that it is harmful to ones
health). I would like to ask the experts in this group what is the
MOST powerful antenna I can use without breaking the law or causing
any kind of health concerns to prelonged exposure.
BTW: Here is some more info on the setup.
Both routers are the same (200mw Long Range 802.11b routers from
fab-corp.com)
24 dBi Andrew parabolic antenna (for the recieving end)
both routers will be using 1ft low loss cable from antenna to router
Also... from what I've read in this group... a 6dBi omni looks like
the maximum legal limit for this amp. So my question is.... would the
6dBi omni with the 1w amp be better than the 15.4dBi omni without the
amp???? If there is any better combo... please let me know.
Thanks!
