No Casey, I used the omni on my WAP11 and they are already running. My concern now is this 10 mile link, yeah I would give it a try. You said actual Radio.. Can you give me a particular brand where i can find it. I am planning to used 2 24db dish on my 10 mile link, I reserved them for this purpose.
Pls point where I can read about this radios. tnx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Casey Halverson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "George" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "802.11B NEWS GROUP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 2:02 PM Subject: RE: [BAWUG] 802.11b Long Range non line of sight Yes, and there's a big chance think link will not work. Unless you can clear this building (and really, it only needs to be by several feet -- do a fresnel zone calc to be sure), you are probably not going to be able to punch through it. But it doesnt hurt to try. The first problem we have here is making use of 15dBi omnis in a directional link. Besides this being a low gain antenna, you are receiving noise in all directions and possibly receiving multipath reflections you would not normally receive with a highly directional antenna. Even 35mW into a pair of 24dBi antennas will work better. You can try this first. The WAP11 is not a good piece of hardware for any sort of real operation (besides personal use) and I would find something else. A soekris box or actual radio intended for "bridging" might be more appropriate. Since we have a potential obstruction that can cause multipath, high powered amps would not be recommended in this situation. >-----Original Message----- >From: George [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 11:22 PM >To: Casey Halverson; 802.11B NEWS GROUP >Subject: Re: [BAWUG] 802.11b Long Range non line of sight > > >This sounds HOPE to me.
