PS: One of their product / antenna combo's *MAY* work. I didn't review all = details of all their products. Since this is off topic you'll likely get s= ome flames if this goes on much longer :) Good luck!

Is it not possible to get xDSL/Cable/BRI/WiMAX/3G/4G/whatever at the "offic= e". Depending on your wireless gear, antenna, topology, fresnel zone, spec= trum pollution, blah blah blah - this COULD work, but not likely very well.= Too many variables to know for sure. Many WISP's offer "reasonable" pack= ages as well. If they have a money back deal, or demo gear - it might be worth a shot.

Is it just hanging off the utility= pole? :) -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@f= reebsd.org] On Behalf Of Modulok Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 3:03 PM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Outdoor wireless - has anyone used Ubiquiti power stations? List, This might be a little off topic, but it still involves FreeBSD. I figured this list has many a smart folk, so I'd ask here. If I buy two of these Ubiquiti power station 2's, I can set them up to provide a long distance ethernet link to my BSD box right? Has anyone used these? Basically, I have an remote office with a FreeBSD box acting as a router, but no Internet connection. At the other side of the valley (15 miles) I have a DSL based Internet connection, but no office. In theory, I should be able to link them via a wireless bridge, right? That way I'd have local connection at the office on one interface, and a long distance link which hooks up to an ISP through their DSL router on the other. If I treat the link between the office and the DSL router as if it were the public Internet, I shouldn't need any encryption between me and it, right? Does this all sound like a reasonable approach? I just thought I'd get a vote of confidence in my methods before I finally tackle this project and buy the equipment. -Modulok- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= " _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= "
