Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Brain Trust question

[Charles Perry (charles]

We have the same issue on our little farm. We're a good bit smaller than you 
(23 acres). Outdoor areas within a few hundred feet of the house are served 
with Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LR long-range access points. For my shed, which is a good 
distance from the house and through heavy tree cover, I use Ubiquiti 
NanoStation Loco M900s. These are point-to-point devices. The one at the house 
functions as a highly directional WAP, the one at the shed functions as a 
receiver/bridge. Then I can add more access points at the shed. These are 
low-frequency (900 Mhz as opposed to normal Wi-Fi in the 2.4-5 GHz range), so 
they travel through obstructions like foliage way better than standard wi-fi.

You do need power at each end, but I think you'd be happily surprised at the 
range those two devices can get you, and Ubiquiti devices are both reliable and 
cheap (Amazon). A rarity. Only downside is that they are not terribly user 
friendly and they have no direct tech support. But if you're willing to do some 
reading on their support forums, their stuff is impressive.

Subject: [Ferrari] Brain Trust question

Hey brilliant Ferrari friends:

Our horse trainer has a WiFi networking problem that I am trying to help her 
solve.

The training barn - in Ocala, FL - sits on about 90 acres.  There are a couple 
of barns and outbuilding scattered about the property - but it is mostly empty 
farmland.

We are trying to achieve the maximum possible WiFi coverage but are limited by 
where we have access to power.

It is important, because cell coverage is spotty - WiFi could fill that gap and 
provide some much needed peace of mind - in the event of an emergency.

Personally, I don’t get far beyond hacking into my spectrum modem to improve 
speeds.  

Do any of my brilliant friends have an idea for a long range wifi solution?

Thank you in advance.

Scottie
