Hi , this topic may not has a direct relation with this forum, but i didn’t find better place ..
Why is that we can’t use multi hops of 11n and each hop is a station a part 80-120Km each , with 5-6 channels to be used to forward internet connection from country to another one ?
Maybe 20 hops and each as i said has 6 radios in 6 different channels with very high gain dishes … the distance u can say about 2000Km or more .. what are the problems that should prevent a WiFi backbone connections to appear and to be a very cheap replacement for the fiber-optic cables , beside the reliability ?
Don’t say that i am insane but i want to know why ?
100m height in both ways can give a direct los about 80km .. and being aware of the fresnel zone it may reach about 150m height each “assuming that i will work in 5.8GHz” … there is alot of hills and small mountains in the road ! and after using them properly they should increase the maximum distance that we can make.
Also what about latency? I am aware about the battary systems and every thing else ..
Any suggestions ? who is the man who’s going to blow the idea a over my head ?
Wireless is used as an inexpensive fiber alternative but it still is not near the quality nor the reliability of fiber. Also rather than invest in the equipment for 20 towers with 5 unlicensed channels each using 10 large dishes on each repeating tower, it would make more sense to cut down the complexity and use higher end licensed gear with higher throughput.
This is done all the time so I don’t really see what you are looking for.
I believe in the long run that fiber has a better return on investment and brighter future for long haul applications to populated areas. This is why fiber is more popular. But fiber, copper, and wireless all do have their place in modern communications.
My essential problem here is i am in a county where the backbone is controlled by the government and the government has a PSTN company, They are selling 1Mbps up/down as SHDSL with 2500$ monthly !!! Do u believe that ? 1mbps = 2500$ what do u expect us to do ? We can’t resell the internet like that, and we can’t buy a FiberOptic cable that may cost us millions of dollars, instade we can pay up to 200K$ to build a 2000Km long wireless backbone unless there is a big problem with latency or some major issues.
