Once or twice at a previous job I've strategically bounced signal off another building (glazed windows) to get around a direct LOS obstruction :)<br><br>

Before you get too excited about wireless, jump up on the roof and make sure<br>
that you have a clear line of sight to the other property (before someone<br>
says it, yes I know LOS isn't strictly needed, but it is a good simple<br>
test).<br>
<br>
If you do, it is very easy to set up either with the Ubiquiti equipment that<br>
Jared suggested or the Mikrotik equipment - I've used both with success.<br>
<br>
Speak to Freenet Antennas[0] about Ubiquiti gear and Duxtel[1] about<br>
Mikrotik gear - both companies have helped me in the past. Start with the<br>
Freenet website, it has a lot of information about planning and building<br>
links.<br>

Subject: [AusNOG] Wireless Point to Point service inner Melbourne<br>
<br>
</div><div><div class="h5">Evening Noggers,<br>
<br>
I have a bunch of equipment at a small secure location in Port Melb which I<br>
want to connect with our DC in Port Melb, preferably over a wireless<br>
solution.<br>
Alternatively we could connect to our DCs in the City on Collins or King<br>
Streets.<br>
<br>
The system uploads images into our platform, currently via ADSL which is<br>
delivering about 5MBps (upstream).<br>
<br>
We want to take that upload to somewhere between 30 – 100MBps so the content<br>
can be uploaded quickly and more efficiently.<br>
<br>
Latency is not really an issue as content can be uploaded via robot<br>
overnight.<br>
<br>
I am looking for technology solutions which may be able to assist with<br>
delivering a same suburb wireless data transfer without ripping a large hole<br>
in my budget.<br>
<br>
We have roof-top access.<br>
<br>
If you can help or have any ideas, replies off-list would be great.<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
<br>
Darren.<br>
