I saw this question posed on on the forums at AnandTech.com and would =
love to see if it is plausible.
"Ok, here is the deal. I have a freind that lives about 5.7 miles away =
from me and almost has a line of sight. He would probably have to put an =
antenae on his house to get a line of sight to mine. At my house, I have =
no options for high speed internet access, at all, but at his house, he =
can get cable. I got to thinking, and I came up with an idea. What if I =
could get ahold of some wireless networking equipment that I could use =
to network to his house, then he could get cable, we could split the =
monthly bill, and I would have cable access at my house.
Here is my question: What equipment could I use to do this? I found some =
stuff on cisco's site, but it costs about $8000. The speed does not have =
to be supper fast, but I would like to have something at least the speed =
of ISDN.
I want to know what other people have to say abhout this, so shoot. "
Is this plausible. Is there any technology out there that uses public =
spectrum over a 6 mile distance ?
