Alternative Frequency Wireless Ethernet Devices?

Posted by Cliff on from the mutant-devices dept.

rtgree01 asks: "Do Slashdot readers know of any wireless ethernet devices that are not 900 MHz, 2.4GHz, or 5GHz. This is for a project that will be in an extremely harsh EMI area (thousands of V/m at those frequencies). Also, to make things even more impossible, line of sight is not available, even though the range for this system should be 30 feet max. Some of you might suggest to stick with a standard wired solution, but that is not optimal at all. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated."

    I don't know the exact setup you have, but IR with mirrors might work

  2. Use the right frequencies by anthony_dipierro · · Score: 4, Informative

    You could use MURS along with a ham rig. Or even better if you have the time, use a licensed frequency.

    Depending on the amount of data you need to transmit.. GENRIP, GENeric Radio IP, based on STRIP , may work for you. As discussed here before, it basically extends IP over any serialized radio. So, you can choose your own frequency and power.
