Wireless broadband - 5km line of sight?

Hi all

I live 5kms from my office.

At home I have broadband, at my office it's not available!

Is it possible to transmit wirelessly from home allowing for broadband at my office?

At home my broadband connection is shared between all computers in my house using a wireless/adsl/modem/router. I'm basically looking to extend this to my office perhaps by installing a dish or yagi antenna at either end.

If I stand on the roof of my office I can see my house.

Is this possible?

Who manufactures or supplies the equipment needed?

Regards

John

You may also want to take a look at Wireless Wales (address in my sig)

Plenty of technical info there, and even more on the forum.

If you send me your postcode both ends, I can run it through some radio planning software, and see what kit you might need. You can PM me on here, or preferably through the wireless wales forum, where I tend to be quicker to respond to requests ;)

Wireless can go well beyond 5Km but for non comercial services there are very low power limits which would prevent you doing it at least legally unless they have upped the permited power recently.
 
802.11b will go 5km legally.... just - it'll probably just about go 10km legally if you build a very high quality system
