Dragging a cable some 165 meters through a dense forest each time you want to image, takes the cake in terms of setup and tear down times. Folks go through so much trouble to make things happen. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to put together the helpful response. I will have a look for the post you referred to and reach out to the Ubiquity folks. it is a bit uneven but not hilly and there would be no hills or mounds getting in the way.
All in all, I would say "fairly dense" but not jungle-like. Some lower leaves and brush as well as taller tree trunks. As to your questions on terrain and trees, it is "chaos". Thanks so much for the detailed response. It will depend on how much is really in the way between the house and scope. Something else to keep in mind is that the ASIAir has a somewhat limited range WIFI system so you will need a stronger signal to it and stronger receiver from it meaning that the WIFI router/repeater will need to be closer to it than the house.Īnother option might by a hybrid system where you run a cable from the house as far as possible (300 feet approx.) and then have a WIFI router for the rest of the distance to the scope. He went with Ubiquity and had a good signal.Įither way, cable or WIFI, you are probably looking at a few hundred dollars to get setup with something that works reliably. There is another topic here on Cloudynights in the last few months with similar distance limits that you might want to look at. I think the company offers some planning services to help you with the layout so that you don't over-spend or under-perform. Unless you want to run a cable with a switch every time I think the Ubiquity WIFI systems would be your best bet. The 2.4GHz band usually carries farther but not always. And, the higher frequency usually penetrates less. With most RF signals (WIFI) the signal doesn't go through things very well and usually gets from point A to point B by bouncing around from wall to wall or thing to thing until it gets there. If you have sightlines where you can see some of the house between trees then you will have a much easier time connecting.

What kind of trees and other growth are in the path? If there are mostly tall hardwoods with few low branches and little tall ground cover so that you only have tree trunks from the ground to 15 feet plus or is there a lot of evergreen/spruce/low branches so that you have a much more solid wall to penetrate. A lot of this will depend on what kind of trees and terrain are in the way between the house and setup in the field.Īre you looking at fairly flat terrain with no hills? Even if you can connect this antenna I don't think 15db gain will be enough to get through the trees. The antenna linked to will only work if your WIFI router has an external antenna that you can unplug. Option 2 is about $275 as far as I can tell. I haven't used Station Mode yet so it is possible I am misunderstanding something there.Īre either of these workable or is there another option out there that I am not aware of? Obviously, the first option is more desirable although cost might be a factor.

I assume one end of the ethernet cable would go into the ASIAir and the other into the cabin wifi router.įor either option, I assume that I would then use Station Mode in the ASIAir software to use the cabin's wifi. I understand that 100 meters is the max distance for a signal through an ethernet cable but that there are USB-powered switches (powered by battery or solar pack) that would allow me to connect two long cables together and extend the distance of the signal. Option two is to temporarily drag outdoor waterproof shielded ethernet cable through the forest each time I am out at the cabin imaging.I am not sure if the 2.4 ghz signal required would be workable either as I saw some videos indicate 900ghz should be used.
