Mikrotik FTW -> Chicken Farm

So… a friend has a chicken farm in the middle of nowhere and was paying for 2 adsl lines 3m/500k D/U.

What we did was install an LHG LTE on the main building running down to an Audience. We then installed 2 Disc’s and did a 500’ shot down to the main barn. In this barn are 2 brooding rooms made from old 15’x15’ metal coolers. Nothing can penetrate the metal, so we hooked up a powerline AP in the main area of the barn, fed by the disc. We then installed more powerline AP’s, fed by the electric, inside the brooders to control remote environmental units for temp and humidity, also network cameras. All the AP’s are controlled by CAPSMAN on the audience and have multiple SSID’s for general access and IoT nets.

This setup has been highly successful. They reduced their monthly ISP charge by more than half, and increased speed by more than 6 times.

Thought you’d like to hear a good story for a change.

Sounds like a great solution. Photos would be great to illustrate your solution.

Pics please.
