I want to make a Wi-Fi hotspot with WiMAX backhaul. But current products don't seem to meet my needs:
1. One-piece outdoor box. 2. Runs Wi-Fi Dog (or other captive portal software) 3. Does not require Linux skills to maintain. 4. Draws 10-12 watts @12 volts 5. Uses WiMAX for backhaul (USB, PCI or ExpressBus) 6. Costs under $350 Mike Boyd's hooked a Motorola 150 WiMAX modem ($99) to a Meraki Outdoor ($199). That's what I want. But I want a one-piece (www.mini-box.com) so I could easily mount it on my bike (for live event coverage). Maybe with a port for IP video. While a wireless router like my Linksys WRT54G3G and CradlePoint MBR1000 could do the job, I'm hoping there's a Captive Portal solution that even a Windows dummy like me could master. Is that wishful thinking? Should I just go with a Netbook? - Sam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ The Personal Telco Project - http://www.personaltelco.net/ Donate to PTP: http://www.personaltelco.net/donate Archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.wireless.portland.general/ Etiquette: http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/MailingListEtiquette List information: http://lists.personaltelco.net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
