Hi, At work we'd often bake our own but we'd also buy some solutions from Solwise. Bare in mind the was 15 years ago, we've been retired for nearly seven now.

Re: [Hampshire] Help finding wireless bridge manufacturers/suppliers
Like Bob, it has been several years since I needed anything like this and while the ones we used were business class they also had business prices. Have a look here: https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/store/wifi-links/wifi-point-to-point-links/ They have some marketed by Ubiquity, and seem to cover a large price range dependant on what you want to pay Regards Tim H On 04/02/2025 15:44, Bob Dunlop via Hampshire wrote: Hi, At work we'd often bake our own but we'd also buy some solutions from Solwise.

[Hampshire] Help finding wireless bridge manufacturers/suppliers
A friend of mine has asked for advice on an industrial network and I think the solution is a 180m wireless link across a field. Years ago I did this over short distances a few times from building to building choosing a wireless pair plus antennae but that was with stuff from Amazon This has to be very robust. Can anybody recommend manufacturers and suppliers who can help quite promptly.

Something like a mikrotik sxt can be used for this purpose. I lived in a village where we had this in place it does require line of sight. https://youtu.be/cz3kXkG1eHk?si=CPHVjWFIMuHQEKPM On Tue, 4 Feb 2025, 12:09 Roger Munford via Hampshire, < hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk> wrote: > A friend of mine has asked for advice on an industrial network and I > think the solution is a 180m wireless link across a field. > > Years ago I did this over short distances a few times from building to > building choosing a wireless pair plus antennae but that was with stuff > from Amazon > > This has to be very robust. > > Can anybody recommend manufacturers and suppliers who can help quite > promptly. > > Roger > > > -- > Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk > Manage subscription: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire > LUG website: http://www.hantslug.org.uk > -- > -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Manage subscription: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG website: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Also, how future proof do you need it? Bandwidth? What is it linking? Two buildings the person owns? Is the field owned by them, or someone else. Why not get broadband to each building, and then VPN across the internet between them? I would be tempted to dig a trench and put some single mode fibre down it. It is a bit of effort, but 180M is not far to dig. It will also be future proof as you can put any bandwidth you please down the fibre cable. If you need robust, do you need dual links? In case one fails?
