AFAIK the range is limited to 100 mtrs. If you use an ISHM frequency
You are speaking of 802.11b LAN cards. We provide Essar with 512 mbps in the same frequency band, and they are 16 km away.
How come. If ur using 802.11b the spec standards specify power limits which will efeectively restrict you to 100 mtr max. If it is an ISHM freq your bandwidth allocation is so small that it would be impossible to have more than a few kbps. Are u using a vsat terminal?. In which case costs would be prohibitive and u r restricted to line of sight communication.
Or am i obsolete ;-/.
(and rig up your own radio modem) your throughput will drop to 1200bps. Other frequencies require licenses from the police and DOT used to cost Rs.25000 per alloted frequency/p.a. and requires you to use only DOT approved equipment.
Also the dot allocated frequency limits BW approx 10khz. So your throughput would still be meagre.
Still cheap. Any telecom people on this list who can help out with the info/tech?
