Well I don't want to go into the hassle of securing a permit for this; as someone has mentioned here. :) Nor do I want to TNT with the NTC :) Im an ECE, my goodness! > or...alternatively, if bandwidth isn't a problem, go VDSL. > Use ordinary telephone lines to connect the two sites and VDSL at the > edges. Now this is cool! Let me check this out. We are a seminary here in Baguio. We have a 60 hectare campus. Now, the main LAN is in the Main Building. The two buildings I want to connect are 150m and 250m from the main building. In between the buildings are tall pine trees. :) The elevation of the two one-story buildings are 3.5m and 50m. And so cabling with CAT5 would be very tricky (pwede ba underground yun?), and WiFi would be problematic (trees and fog). Oh well, thanks for the input guys!
