| Drew Black broken crankshaft  8009 Posts 9/99 |  Posted - Jul 9 2007 : 11:08AMAny suggestions for a line of site wireless solution to connect two buildings that are about 150 feet from each other? I am hoping for 100mbit speeds or better if possible. 56mbit is OK. We've got an underground 100baseT cable between the two buildings at the moment and the lightning suppression at each end of the line isn't working. We're losing networking equipment with each big thunderstorm. [Link] |

| Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99 | Posted - Jul 9 2007 : 12:59PM SMC has a 108 mbit solution for a short distance like this. It will run 6mbits up to a few miles away. [Link] |

| Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99 | Posted - Jul 18 2007 : 2:35AM I ordered the 802.11a/b/g units. BTW, the wiki page is inaccurate as are many things on wikipedia. [Link] |

For instance, if one of the buildings is fed electrically from the other, then feed the ground from the source building as well, rather than driving a separate grounding rod at the secondary building. If you have two separate electrical services (meters), then you'd have to do some more research on how to isolate or equalize them. Just like in automobiles or old tractors- check your grounds.

| Bornyo Deactivated Member 803 Posts 12/04 | Posted - Jul 18 2007 : 5:27PM Fiber Optic may be better than wireless. [Link] |
| Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99 | Posted - Jul 18 2007 : 6:13PM There's a 2" PCV pipe that runs from one building to the other. It was originally used for a 100 amp aluminum power feed. When we had a separate meter installed I pulled the power cable through and followed it up with a bundle of cat5e outdoor cable. I knew it wasn't the greatest thing to do but it was easy and I had the cable. The network cable is permanently installed and switching to fiber would be a lot more costly than the wireless hardware. I ordered the SMC units because I can expand it with high-gain directional antennas to provide internet service to our neighbors who are .5 mile down the street. Those RuggedCom products look like they would do the trick but I can't find someone that sells them online to check pricing. [Link] |
