Here is a 802.11b hardware application question.
I am considering setting up a hotspot in my neighborhood as a test to setting up to deliver broadband via 802.11b to my small town. I understand that from an AP on a tower I am going to need some sort of an antenna at the client site (perhaps a flat panel or parbolic with LOS to my tower) but what goes into the house from the outside antenna?
I am curious to hear from those of you who are already WISPs. What are you doing? ie... are you feeding the signal to Cat5 and going to a NIC in thier computer or are you delievering the signal to another indoor antenna or AP and broadcasting to WLAN cards in the PCs?
Thanks TLC
