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."

  1. 30 feet? by Neck_of_the_Woods · · Score: 5, Funny



    30 feet that is it? Hell use sneaker net and pay a intern 5.25 and hour to run the data back and forth.

    Get a marketing intern for 10baset, a business intern for 100baseT, and a CS intern for 1000baseT. Keep in mind for the 100/1000 you going to need 2 interns for the full duplex.

    If you want to figure out what is going on with your workers just pick up one of the tri delta girls and set her to permiscous mode......

  2. GENRIP by nesthigh · · Score: 5, Informative

    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.

    not if this environment is commercial, that would be illegal.

    He wasn't talking about ham radio, he was talking about training pot-bellied pigs to carry the data back and forth. They're very smart, you know.
