How secure is this connection? Does 802.11 provide security implicitly? Thanks. --- "Dominic J. Eidson" <sauron () the-infinite org> wrote:

I foundsome stuff on cisco's site, but it costs about$8000. The speed doesnot have to be supper fast, but I would like tohave something atleast the speed of ISDN.Cisco BR340's - they're $900/each, and work well in bridge mode. As someone already stated, make sure you get some good high-gain (and narrow-beam directional - we use 10 degree yagi) antenna's.Is this plausible. Is there any technology outthere that uses publicspectrum over a 6 mile distance ?With line of sight, they claim they can go 9+ miles. Of course, weather does affect it - one of our spans tends to go down when there's just the right kind of heavy rain. Theoretic speed is 11Mbit/sec - effective (real) speed is about 6Mbit/sec. (YMMV, that's on a 1/2 mile span) -- Dominic J. Eidson "Baruk Khazad! Khazad ai-menu!" - Gimli
