What I would like to is network my house and my co-workers' house using some kind of long range wireless system. Our houses are about 1 mile apart with minimal trees between. I'm looking for bandwith in the neighborhood of .5Mbps to 1Mbps. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced wireless solution for this?? Or if it is even possible.
I saw one somewhere.It was in a catalog i receive, i'll check at my office on monday, there are a pile of them but it shouldnt be too hard to find, it was around 2 grand and up though....
Check <a href="http://www.practicallynetworked.com/tools/wireless_articles_range.htm" target="_blank">here</a>. They seem to know there stuff and the links provided don't seem to expensive.

Interesting read.
I think they got a longer radius but I cant find that article.
This should become more popular out in rural areas.

One of the <a href="http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2001/05/03/longshot.html" target="_blank">links</a> from the article I posted tells how these guys are sending a signal 21 miles!!!
Sorry I didnt look at the links contained in your link. Its to the same article I posted.
Here its it, from Avaya, up to 16 miles pretty cool, but pricey...<a href="http://www.hyperlinktech.com/web/avaya_outdoor_router.html" target="_blank">Vendor site</a> <a href="http://www1.avaya.com/enterprise/who/docs/outdoorrouting/" target="_blank">Manufacturer's site</a>
you can make your own directional antenna and hook it up to your wireless brigde. piece of cake. directional helps keep AirSnort from grabbing your packets unless they are in los. rain, snow, fog will damage your connection stability.
