Subject: [BAWUG] Alternatives to ORiNOCO
AP-2000 for outdoor point-to-point
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?
