We did something similar to this at a customer's site. People can use the service, unrestricted, for 2 hours. After that they are kicked off and have to resign in.

Re: [WISPA] [WISPA Members] Suggestions on high-powered indoor CPEs?
signatureWhy do you want this? Higher output power on the AP doesn't always mean greater range to the consumer. That's a function of both tx and rec. power. I'd suggest that you just put some higher gain antennas in if you need more range. Or use more AP's (often a good choice for an indoor system as it allows for more users as well). Having said all of that, Readylink (used to be Compex) makes a 1 watt radio card. I've tried them in some MT ap's and they seem to work ok. I normally turn them down to 15 to 17 dB though.
