With a 400 mw PA u will get a LOS distance of about 2.5km. And the maximum bandwidth u get with 802.11b is 11mbps, wich drops quickly to 2 mbps beyond a few 100 mtrs. And the wep security is a piece of rubbish.
Yes. But here we are going for a optical network connectivity to ISP with sizable amount of bandwidth. It will broadcast in 2.5 Gz microwave and clients of say a small town with appropriate device can log on to the network
that still does not change the fact that you require a simple accesspoint on steroids.
Have a look at http://www.e3.com.au/ if you want more info.
We are trying to have a setup of similar type and want to see if any others here in India are doing similar activity. Any Information.
IIT khargpur. Quite hackneyed and oldhat.
However using this setup by linking many 802.11 nodes with mobility and voip is what is new and hot. U will be able to get rid of cellphone bills and have bandwidth and voice clarity that would be the envy of 4G users in Tokyo. U cant charge a paisa though cause that would make u and your "gang " criminals (as per DOT rules), since u would be providing a commercial service without paying our dearest old government any licence fee. Linux provides the perfect base with the iptables infrastructure and Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) for setting up Mobile AdHoc Networks.
