We have the unfortunate arrangement at our institution in which our dorms are located off campus about 5 miles away. We are using a Navy Housing property site for our student dorms. For the past few years we have been directing students to a local cable company to provide them with internet access. The cost of building a network at the housing site and the hardware required to build a wireless network there has prevented us from moving forward.
My question is, are there any institutions out there that have, instead of installing a number of wireless access points, installed maybe one or two high powered wireless antennas that connect directly to the internet. I know there has got to be something out there so I am submitting this to the group. Thank you for any advice or direction you can give me.
