June 12, 200521 yr At the moment in thailand is it possible to pursuade the buidling owners to get a fast connection to the building and then permit residents to reach that fast connection wirelessly? What would be the best connection / service to the building? What would be the hardware / technique to relay the connection to the various apartments?
June 12, 200521 yr What would be the hardware / technique to relay the connection to the various apartments? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dunno how big you are talking, but one approach is to install one access point as usual. Then install repeaters as necessary to extend the range. Fairly cheap/trivial. There are also some nifty technologies that allow you to give fast internet access through existing AC wall sockets or phone jacks in a building. That's nice because they utilize the existing wiring without interfering with them, but the downside is each PC needs a special card versus a standard wifi card. And what about cable modems? The holy grail will probably be when WiMax arrives and one antenna gives everyone in a 15 mile radius hi-speed internet access wirelessly. Should start to see it popping up in other countries by year end, but for Thailand? Could be a LONG while as usual...
