Title: How to use two-way line across town?
Post by: lachtan on November 25, 2006, 11:44:01 AM

Hi,

we have choice to use "military" two-ways metallic line, about 1 km long, with impedance cca 45 ohm/500m, to connect in our network (as compensation wi-fi line across town). Does anybody know some xDSL, VDSL or homeplug devices, which make possible connection about 10 Mb/s (and higher - i know im very courageous) with this distance? Anybody have some experiences with it? Some tips (repeater etc.)?

Thank you.

Sorry - I think you need a specialist electronics/networking forum.  I haven't a clue.  Anyone else?

No, this is not within the focus of this forum, although a few of the 16 year olds here may BS you into thinking they know something about it.  ::)

In case you are still checking on this ....   I've created LAN extensions with Copperlink, but not WiFi. For about $40 a month you can buy a line pair from your telephone company and put together a private DSL type connection ( LAN Bridge ) with speeds up to around 16.67mbps, but the maximum distance I believe is 35,000 feet.

* Also Com sync speed drops with distance. Its a solid fast connection speed most of the distance, then it drops off as you start getting past 2 to 3 miles or so on regular single pair copper telephone wire..

I have 4 sets of these to bridge all our business locations together, Much cheaper than T1.

Manual for all specs on this device : http://www.patton.com/manuals/2157_2156-a.pdf

They also have shorter distance Extenders that can communicate at 16.67Mbps at : http://www.pcconnection.com/ProductDetail?Sku=466856

*** For a reliable fast connection that is secure, I'd go with Copperlink Extenders!!  ;)

Wouldn't creating a fiber line that runs across town work ??
Plus I don't think its too expensive ;)
