Thank you guys for all your contributions. @Eric Mwania - You exactly know what I need. On Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 3:41 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
@Eric, I did not know CCK does not care about 2.4Ghz but probably explains why the telco sector is what it is. They are openly ignoring the grey and illegal setups. Heck, they do not even need a special vehicle to enforce anything, just simply drive around with a laptop and an external antenne and clamp down on rogue networks. So the ISP/Networks/BPOs are all being charged millions of Kshs in annual fees, compliance returns, circuits charges while being expected to compete in the same market. Wifi is similar to bluetooth, its range is deliberatly limited to ensure everyone gets a share of the open network frequency and not have one powerful radio knocking out everything closeby. By not keeping the power levels checked or deploying higher levels, we are basically stopping others from using devices. No one owns 2.4Ghz yet there are limitations to ensure everyone gets a chance to use it.
I'm not confusing @Mutua. All I'm saying is this : You have official options, follow those channels. You are trying things that will not help you long term because you network will get jammed by someone else and that is my concern as a fellow skunk. You already know about Strix, ask yourself why KDN do not increase power levels at butterfly stations but revert to selling products that " amplifying signals " at the receive end? Strix is a very capable product of upto many many kms. The only thing I still suggest is that you tie up with an ISP/Network Operator and to save on bandwidth costs by creating a common VLAN on wireless. HTHs.
Cheers. ( I've used up bytes for next week, hakuna byte mafuta.... ) :-)

@AKI i think you just complicating things for Mutua He is simply requesting we recommend an AP that can Cover 1.5 km ?
I THINK we are confusing Mutua here he has already spend on MikroTik which is almost 100k and something for managing his hotspot so another option is simply wasting resources he has already spend ON
our CCK does not care about frequency 2.4GHz
Do you have a recommendation for an AP + Antenna that can help him cover that distance ?
