I have attached a gif of my project. I am convinced
this will work but since it is a huge amount of $ (for me), I am looking for
lower cost alternatives. In case the gif is not visible, the goal of this
project is to provide a mobile access point to even more mobile
clients.
Point A is an ethernet-to-wireless bridge (actually
ADSL), then Point A has to make a line-of-sight wireless connection to Point B,
which is at a barn with AC about 1000 meters away. Point B then has
to make a connection to Point C, the mobile access point, which is run by a
twelve-volt battery and located wherever we are working that day. Clients
include a Ricoh i700 and up to 20 iPaqs running GPS and
GIS.
The way I am thinking of doing this is to use three
ORiNOCO AP-2000s and a variety of antennas. But there must be more
powerful and cheaper ways to do this. Does anyone else have experience
deploying mobile access points outdoors and at a
distance?
