IS there any proof about running wireless and defects.

I have this in my house and office and wonder if it's really safe :(

Brad...
Yeah man...Just go for it, love that ....impressive! Just do it!

Most would just sit behind there bong and think or dream of this...you have done it...bravo...

Takes balls to do something like this good for you!

Now you just got to get it to work...:Graucho

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

haha looks like his antenna is worth twice what the house is.

Direcway satellite internet is available in Canada now.

upload speed on that crap is slower than dialup.

Very impressive indeed. I get a boner over big towers from my amateur/CB radio days when I would have loved to have a 100' tower, mine was only 30'. :upsidedow

All of you spent way way too much...lol

it looks promising...goodluck with the installation. :thumbsup

I am hiring monkeys to sit on the tower and shoot at anyone war driving around it. :)

You make it sound like I just reached in my pocket and threw money at this project without much regard for research.

Well you are right LOL

Kidding of course, we spent a ton on the research to make sure this would work. We are just in the tweaking stage now. It will work.

I think Brad is trying to compete with the CN Tower. :1orglaugh

DH

uh... That's my garage ;)

Awesome! I honestly want to live so far out that I need something like that for connections. I'm incredibly jealous!!! :)

nice pics :)

Thanks :) I love it out there. Can't see or hear any neighbors. Total privacy.

my old man had a 75' Ham Tower, a horse got tangled in the gye wires and the thing crashed down on top of the roof in my room, i thought it was the end of the world!

Ouch.

Wow, that's nuts!!! Don't tell me your going to go through all that and hook it up to a T1. What kind of connnection are you going to set that up with? Which carrier are you planning to use? Your spending way too much to get good internet speeds.

Me too - I haven't closed my blinds since I moved here 3+ years ago :)

Thankfully an ex-president has a house here so they have DSL in the whole subdivision. :thumbsup

RAD's AirMux-200 enables you to connect two sites?at distances up to 50 miles/80 Km?with broadband wireless Ethernet and T1/E1 circuits all for under $3,000 a link. The AirMux-200 offers up to 48 Mbps of radio bandwidth with full duplex throughput of up to 18 Mbps. This means you can transport 1 or 2 T1/E1 voice circuits and have ample bandwidth remaining for 10/100Base-T Ethernet traffic. When combined with RAD?s IPmux solutions, the AirMux-200 can scale to support 8 T1/E1 circuits plus Ethernet.

holy fuck thats impressive

why don't you just use dial-up internet?

hehehe

To help cover the 20k why dont you Build a Laser on the top of it and sell it to your goverment?
I mean if austin powers can have sharks with lasers why cant you have a tower with a "Laser" ?

if they had a clue about this stuff they wouldnt have money..

let him play.. hell get there ;)

Lol Too funny

Hrm...

802.11b (or g) is "difficult" to get to work reliably over 20 mile links, but definitely possible.

The antenna's youre using now are NOT going to work. Period. You need directional antenna's, which are going to be a bitch to aim since you only have a couple degrees at most with which to match them up.

I work with a WISP up here, who has a couple ~20mile 802.11b links which work reliably, although you will see rain fade here and there. Also, the netgear stuff is really not the best thing to be doing a project like this with, but may work. Running a soekris (or something like it) PC w/ some high powered PC card wireless adapters are usually the way you go here, since then you get full TX strength.

I also assume you are above the tree line, and have done topographic mapping to ensure that nothing between the two sites (including trees) are not breaking Line of Site?

If you've already spent $20k on this, I don't know why you're even messing with 802.11b. For that price, you could have gotten the towers, some nice 45mbit liscensed spectrum equipment off ebay (cheap cheap these days) and paid the FCC license fee. However, getting the towers installed I suppose can run more than a little bit. :)

http://www.phil21.net/gallery/album05 - That's what I have at home for inet, just goes about a half mile, but I like overkill. ;)

Hit me up on ICQ if you have issues, and I can get you in contact with some folks that do this for a living.

Good luck!

Aim it towads Osama and mabye just mabye , You could win the election at the same time which I believe pays out like 80k so you would be up 20k Plus be president of our country... and I think we could get you high speed at your house at that time ...

Just a thought !
