Hi,

Im trying to setup a wireless network on a game farm so that the 3 different offices can share internet connection and a wireless hot spot for visitors, the problem is theres lots of tree between the offices. We've got some point to point equipment that was installed but it all needs line of site and so they are almost useless.

I've come across http://www.radiolabs.com/products/wireless/point-to-point-bridge-circular.php, but have been told that i'll need a license for the 900MHz network.

Is there any NLOS equipment that you don't need a license, or since this is a private farm, can I install the 900MHZ

Is there no single point that all locations can see that you can run power to and setup a common highsite and re-use your PTP stuff to connect to it? Alternatively, will putting up a lattice mast or two (max 15m high) help clear the tree line?

Both of the above options will probably be cheaper than licensed kit. For non-ISM band equipment you'll need a license, regardless of private property or not.

How far apart are the properties?

Hi There
These people will be able to assist you.
Look under the wireless products.
You may need to create something to give you line of sight as Mal1ce suggested.

I think you need installers to do this properly.

From what I can see, you will need a primary point (multi access point) from where your other points will connect.

Maybe you will need a repeater to avoid the trees (from main point to repeater and then to the offices/visitors area). Power is always required to "power" the units, but if no power is available, maybe you can put solar panels.

It may get a little expensive the setup, but if is for Business Continuity and for your Guest you will see the rewards.
