I read an article a few months ago , about how a community banded together, started their own company and provides themselves dirt cheap internet. I would imagine all the phone lines and buildings had to be wired and such.
I am interested in doing that, only wireless. or rather, my boss wants it done - and i find it an interesting idea. Now I know retail routers and such only go about 40-50 ft right? there are the super ones that say they go like 108 feet but I've never tried it.
A) are there commercial grade high power wireless access points?
if there are not high power long distance access points, repeaters are then my only option correct?
the area I am trying to cover is at max 5 miles squared, probably closer to 2 , but I haven't done a measurement yet.
what is the longest distance I will be able to send a signal.?
who knows anything about how to best get that trunk access in the first place? through the tel co or what? I doubt a regular isp would be good, roadrunner business wouldn't be a valid option. right? i don't imagine the entire town would use as much as a typical college or large business office. just a T# line?
please advise!
im sure there will be more questions along the line. I am just trying to get it fleshed out, any ideas or thoughts id appreciate greatly.
thank you!
