Hi Mich, Yes, I've also heard good things of ubnt. Again, it begs the question - who is able to supply locally, and at what price? Tony 2009/6/17 Michuki Mwangi <michuki@swiftkenya.com>:
Based on what i hear experienced wifi folks talking about - this seems to be the best next thing after sliced bread! ;) and its quite affordable too.

YMMV

Guys,
... and where locally can we buy? - and how much?
Anyone having working kit - new or second hand - can contact me directly off-list - but please tell everyone where to get.
Thanks, Tony

Mikrotiks rock, use n-streme for this long distances and you will be amazed with their latency and data rates.Anybody try the R52n by the way

With Mikrotik, i think i have done 5KM with 2-10ms latency on CLOS - its still running for an year now. That means if you just require bridging and not necessarily wifi (/limit) you can take that. The distance between KAWANGWARE and UTHIRU is how many km?
Digest.

Mikrotik only sell 5ghz panels, i.e no omni, no 2.4ghz but with the correct mix and match of equipment I believe you can achieve 8km on CLOS.

Actually, Mikrotiks are what came to mind first having dealt with them in my previous job, but their website is scarce with info. Emily I will get back to you once I have the go ahead.
@Denis I was trying to remember winlink. I have dealt with it and is a pretty good product.
Thanks all for the suggestions.

If the grass looks greener on the other side, most probably the water bill is higher too
