Check out www.miro.co.za
They've got lots of WiFi goodies incl. PCMCIA cards, Connectors, Pigtails, Jacks, Crimping Tools, Cables, Antennas etc. etc.
Of interest would be the Wireless Outdoor Bridge / Access Point
(Range up to 25 Km with Power Amplifier & Antenna) Unfortunately the cost is prohibitive (R8 375.00). Btw if anybody from ICASA is reading this... I've got a reaaaallllyyyy big garden. But just in case I'll ask the signals very nicely not to go outside my property and to look twice before they cross any public roads. [

Miro also has a Weatherproof Enclosure (R 115.00)- This might help to mount your AP as close as possible to the antenna to minimise dB loss. There's a gas filled lightning arrestor (R400.00) etc.
The pricelist link on the products page does not work... so use the link on the Distributors page.
Now... I think the 24 dBi Grid Antenna is just what the doctor prescribed for my modem... The polarisasion is Horisontal and Vertical. It doesn't weigh much (Only 2.18kg & should attach easily to my TV antenna). Low wind signature. The only challenge will be to align it with the Base Tower. (It's beam width is only 8 degrees.) The price is not too shabby either... only R 1 245.00 excl. VAT.
Please post links to other vendors... I'd like to compare prices / quality etc. Thanks.
