900Mhz Application
Solutions:
QUESTION1:
Hello. I have a customer that wants a camera
at his gate. From his house to the gate it is 1,200
feet. About the middle of the path there is about 100'
of trees. He wants it to be wireless. We have power at
the gate. What would be the best option for this
application and could I please get a quote?
ANSWER1:
You will have to use a 900 MHz point to point link,
which will penetrate the trees without a problem. Your
quote is attached. This includes everything that you
need to establish the connection, and will come
pre-configured, and ready to install "out of the box".
Each antenna that will be placed at each location is
enclosed in an outdoor, weatherproof enclosure. At the
main location, you will connect the outdoor radio, via
Ethernet cable, to your LAN, or switch. At the
gate, you will connect the outdoor radio, via Ethernet
cable to the camera. Each unit is powered via a power
injector, which must be placed indoors, or inside a
weatherproof box where you have your AC power.

QUESTION2:
I need to know if it
is possible to network two home offices together via
wireless. They are approximately 3300 feet apart. The
ground topography between the two shows a dip so there
will be no land mass obstruction between the locations.
The only obstructions are trees. Patches of trees
throughout total approximately 1020 linear feet of
obstruction. The desired result is for the two home
offices to be connected as if they were one. Each home
office has a basic network where all the computers are
on the same workgroup. One home office has three
computers and the other one has four. Each site has
wireless routers where other users may be on the network
occasionally. We would like to share files, printers,
and internet. We plan to share large files but
connection speeds at 11mbps are acceptable. Is there
anything powerful enough to make this connection with
100% certainty?
ANSWER2:
At
your distance, the most reliable wireless bridge to
connect your two locations would be to use the GNS-1130,
which is a complete link, using the 900 MHz technology.
The radios included in the link, are outdoor rated, and
can be mounted outdoors. The integrated antennas will
point toward each other, and establish the desired
link. Each radio is powered via an indoor power
injector, which sends power and data through the
connected Ethernet cable. This makes installation quick
and easy. Mount each antenna as high as possible, at
your locations, and point toward each other. Avoid
using any 900 MHz cordless phones inside the two
locations. View details of the link by clicking here:

2.4Ghz Application
Solutions:
QUESTION1:
The information provided on your web site has been very
valuable. I’m looking for some expert advice on how
best to reliably and costs effectively extend my homes
wireless network to an unattached building on my
property. The metal building sits about 75’ away from my
main residence, with about 15’ of elevation change (e.g.
slightly up a hill). There are no LOS obstructions and
since I live in a very rural area, other wireless
traffic is mostly non-existent. I currently use 2
Linksys WRE54G extenders to provide access to the
detached building, but the connection does not provide
the reliability that I require.
For my home network I currently use a Linksys WRT600N
router which manages connectivity very well for about a
dozen wireless G and N devices. I currently run WPA-Personal
with AES and TKIP encryption, with the N traffic on the
dedicated 5 GHz band and G traffic on 2.4 GHz. I have a
Linksys WET200 wireless bridge to provide connectivity
for some of my home entertainment gear.
My wife has a Mac Book Pro with built in Wireless-N
network adapter and our children have notebooks with
Wireless-G adapters. My preference would be to preserve
the wireless capability within the classroom. Based upon
what I’ve read on your site there are a number of
solutions such as WAP with directional antennas or even
wireless point to point bridge. I’m looking to make a
purchase and perform the installation immediately and
would appreciate any recommendations for a cost
effective and reliable solution.
ANSWER1:
What you need is a cost effective point to point bridge
to connect the two locations. This will allow you to
have a separate wireless router inside the remote
building, which can be used for local access to the
laptops in that building. The part number is GNS-1150,
http://www.gnswireless.com/GNS1150_Wireless_Bridge.htm,
which includes everything you need to connect the two
locations. At the main location, you will connect the
radio to the LAN port on your N router. On the remote
building you will connect the radio to the WAN port on
your remote router, (not included.). The radios should
be mounted outside, and pointed at each other. They are
housed in a weather proof enclosure, with a small form
factor of 6" x 4" square. The wireless bridge
comes pre-configured, so all you have to do is mount
them and power up.

QUESTION2:
I have a customer that needs to connect their network to
a building about 300ft away. I was looking at the
wireless kit, Part # GNS-1125. Is this the least
expensive solution you offer for share a internet signal
between two locations?
ANSWER2:
The most cost effective solution to bridge two buildings
at 300ft, with clear line of sight, is the GNS-1150,
http://www.gnswireless.com/GNS1150_Wireless_Bridge.htm.
This will include everything you need to connect the
locations. The radios are outdoor rated, and
weatherproof, similar to the GNS-1125, however, if you
only require a simply wireless connection to bridge your
two remote locations, and do not require high
throughput, the GNS-1150 will work great in your
situation. The connection will operate over the 2.4Ghz
frequency.

QUESTION3:
Hello, my dad has DSL at his home, I'm 500 ft. farther
off the road and can't get the DSL yet. Want to be able
to pick up wireless from my house, the line of sight is
pretty well clear what would be the best & cheapest way
to do this?
Thank you
ANSWER3:
If
you are 500ft. away from your fathers Internet
connection, you have two options. The first would be to
use a outdoor antenna mounted to the roof of your home,
and point it toward your dads home to receive the
signal. Once it is connected, you would hardwire the
cat5 cable directly to your computer. This would be the
cheapest way to get the signal, but quality of the
signal depends on how strong he is broadcasting it.
Here is the part number to do so:
http://www.gnswireless.com/GNS1655.htm. A diagram
will illustrate how the connection occurs.
Another option, and one that may be a bit more reliable,
is to create a point to point wireless link between your
two locations, which means having an antenna on each
end, pointing toward each other. The antenna on his
home connects to the routers LAN port, and the antenna
on your home connects to your PC's LAN port. This will
give you a quality signal between the two, and a solid
connection. The radios will be mounted outdoors, and
only a single cat5 cable will be required to provide
data and power, which simplifies the installation.
Here is the part number to do so:

QUESTION4:
I am looking for a Wireless Bridge kit to
bridge between 2 buildings. There is a clear line of
sight with not obstructions in the way. I have 2 D-Link
DWL-2100AP (newer model of DWL-2100). The distance
between the 2 locations is over a half mile but under a
mile. There will be 4 computers at the main location
with 6 computers at the remote location. Large files
will be transferred between locations. The main reason
for the connection is for internet access between
buildings. Can you tell me a solution that will best fit
my situation? I was looking at part#: GNS-1802 but I
don't know if the newer D-Link access points will work
and I would not need them in the kit. Let me know if you
would possibly be able to help. Let me know what the
cost would be as well as a parts list.
ANSWER4:
For that distance, you can use the 13dbi patch antennas
that are included with the kit, with 25ft. coax cables,
and Lightning arrestors, which will be everything you
need to adapt to your existing DWL-2100AP's. This
solution will be cheaper, and give you a better signal
then the dipole antennas. To order the GNS-1802 without
the D-Link DWL-2100AP included, please contact us
directly, and we will assist you with the part numbers
over the phone. Here is a link to the GNS-1802 wireless
bridge kit,

5.8Ghz Application
Solutions:
QUESTION:
We are building a farm surveillance system and are
looking to monitor our lands using Wi-Fi, wireless
bridge technology between two buildings. Distance is 2-4
miles apart from monitoring station. We prefer to use
the not so crowded 3.4 - 5 GHz Band. Note the
surveillance systems will be remote using solar powered
systems. Please advice on the current and voltage needed
or power needed for POE Injector.
ANSWER:
As we discussed
earlier, the GNS-1124 wireless bridge kit will be your
best option for the point to point system at 2 miles.
If you choose to go point to multi-point at the later
time, you can simply move the main antenna to a remote
location, re-configure the unit in client mode, and add
an additional AP with an Omni antenna at the main
location. This will provide you up to 23Mbps
throughput, with low latency.
You can view
details here of the GNS-1124 here,
http://www.gnswireless.com/GNS1124_5Ghz_Wireless_Bridge.htm.
If
you are closer to the 4 mile distance, I might recommend
moving up to the GNS-1124P, which is the same bridge kit
package, and method of linking the locations, but
includes access points that have increased transmit
power for a more reliable signal. Both kits include
outdoor access points, with the POE injectors and power
supplies included. Pre-Configuration is available to
you if you desire a link that works “out of the box”.
