If you haven't got line of sight use ADSL - if it bothers you that much there are a million companies out there that will bill you annually. | |

If it was a few hundred metres then you'd probably be ok but i still think you'll struggle without having line of site at 1.6KM, especially using 5GHz gear (and i imagine your area is full of 2.4GHz networks already, so that's probably a no-go); unless obviously you can erect a mast and get the antennas high enough to alleviate obstructions. | |

Yeah its not so much the cost its just yet another recurring commitment and paperwork to manage = more bills in my pigeon hole each month to sort out | |

ADSL is not a mesy solution for this. If there's doubt on line of sight, £30 a month is surely manageable for a school | |

TBH for a sports pavillion if you get 20MBit each way I'd be impressed, I'm getting a goot 17 over my crap cheap Cisco link. | |

quote: You might be lucky if you get some (reasonable; a 1000ft mast isn't going to work :lol:) elevation at either end; there's plenty of tools for helping with this if you Google. But personally if there is any doubt then it might be worth going for a 'fixed' solution like ADSL/Mobile etc. quote: Have you tried any of their Nanostation gear? Just wondering what the likelihood of getting the mentioned 150Mbit throughput over a 1.5/2KM stretch (i have my doubts) :boggle: Saying that for £200/300 it might be worth the punt as you're certainly not going to be getting other PtP systems for anywhere near that price.

Long range wifi does depend on line of sight - do you have that? | |

I've done similar over half a km with a couple of old Cisco Aironet 1200's with one being a station-role root bridge and one being station-role non-root bridge with some cheap single direction aerials. | |

Similar to your other thread, look at PtP setups but it's going to be relatively costly over that distance and you'll ideally need line of site between the buildings. | |

We have a sport pavilion that is about a mile away from the school. |
