[SOCALWUG] Mobile Satellite Internet

[Humphrey Cheung]

Hello all,   Anyone played around with mobile satellite internet before?  I’m looking to provide wifi access to a spot in the desert (specifically southeast Arizona – by the border… literally right by the border).  Satellite internet to a news van, shoot it south with an 18db panel antenna, receive on a parabolic and broadcast with a yagi (to people stationed along the border, which is a straight road for several miles).   Does this sound plausible?   I do realize that upload bandwidth is gonna really suck, but I’m only running webcams that update maybe once every 30 seconds.    Thanks,   Humphrey Cheung Editor - Tom's Guides Publishing LLC www.tomshardware.com 31225 La Baya Drive, Suite 107, Westlake Village, CA 91362 tel: 818.991.0282 extension 203 fax: 818.991.0285 AIM: hcheung5150 Skype: humphrey_cheung
