Today the 100KM Haifa Tel Aviv test was made and the results were more then expected
The link was Full Quality stable (3 leds on the BreezeCom Units)
We used BreezeCom Units AP and WB with 24DBi Semi Grid Pack Antennas on
both Sides , No amplifier no bulshit
This time I wasnt in the field and the credits belongs to
Zvi (4Z7ACB) and Mr M Dahan from Talcom Company
Who were the participating in the test
I'm not the communication minister but As much as I know this is the most
far link that exist in israel for any MicroWave equipment ...
The Credits are for Me (4Z4ZQ) , Zvi (4Z7ACB)
and to Mr M Dahan from Talcom, We all were in the field during the setup and test
you have a wireless lan cards /equipment that you want to test ?
we are ready to make cooperation on a NON PROFIT base
(i.e we can test them and give you the results as long as we
will not have to pay for the cards we get , )
you want to show the world that
you have a site that your equipment is operating with it ?
Fine with us bring the equipment and we will serve as the "show off" site
or any NON profit cooperations (we cant efford to pay for the equipment
in cash money ...).
we have a huge knowlage about wireless lan networking instalation and maintainance we
can share as a exchange for any kind of sponsership
It consist from two Basic Components
1) BreezeCom Wireless lan link (to Set up the Network from down the sea to Up the hill)
2) Proxim symphony Wireless lan ISA cards who serve as access point and End User cards
From the BreezeCom link we get a approx calculated speed of 150Kbyte/s
Which is approx. 1.5Mbps
All this works at the 2.4Ghz Band
The Haifa Port serve as an Access Point for all the Hams In the area
For the moment , from the access point the distant station is about 40KM Line of Sight
The Network Distance is about 50KM End to End
We have Just upgraded the Link Units to the IEEE 802.11 standard
We have expanded our network and added another network for Krayot users
Jul-2000 We have shut down all the Symphony Cards and now we have only BreezeCom Units
I would like to say many thanks for few persons that helped me in setting up the project
Meir S ... For giving Us the Place for the access point up the hill
Meir D ... From Talcom Company For providing me the two BreezeCom Units ,Antennas and Heliax cables
And to Tidhar 4z5ca , Nir - 4z7def , Uzi - 4x4cp , Zvi - 4z7acb and Mr Z For Help
The User MUST have an eye contact to the Access point , (without it its a waste of time (and money))
As for Heliax Cable , I really Don't know But Remember Rg8 or 213 Will NOT work
Antenna cost about 67$ and it is a 24DB Semi dish Grid Pack
The BreezeCom Units cost much more (about 1000$ a unit)
(but they are much more good) so they serve for the Back Bone
