Hello,
I have been trying to plan for a free Internet supply project on my village. I have a dedicated fiber optic line to my rural home specially taken there by my ISP. But unfortunately not everyone in the rural area has access to stable internet thus I want to come up with this project.
Suppose I setup a base station at my place where I have the dedicated fibre optic connection. And I want to cover 5KM radius for line of sight so that my repeater stations which are located along that radius can capture the wifi signal through another line of sight antenna facing towards the base station antenna. I want to put up the antennas as high as needed for clear line of sight.
Now my question, is it possible to transmit the 2.4Ghz frequency wifi signal over 5KM distance(LOS)? will the signal get very weak that I will have packet loss on the other end? Should I use any sort of 2.4Ghz to 433Mhz modulation and demodulation technique for this setup? If so, how?
I am really looking for some DIY solutions on this project because it is impossible to ship high quality antennas and other wifi transmitting equipments to the rural area at this moemnt.
Please help me guys on how to proceed with this. Thank You.
