oops - wooded area - NG - the radio wave signals are absorbed by the
leaves.... :((
Not sure what "wiring" might be available to you in this situation -
cheaply -
BTW - since you indicated that broadband - DSL, cable, ISDN are not avail in
your area
it might even be tough to get a "leased line" - and it will be cost
prohibitive...
A "leased line" is not just renting an extra pair of wires,
it actually is a datacom service that is configured, optimized, monitored,
and $$$.
And yes - they usually are a hub & spoke arrangement with say 2 points near
each other
actually going all the way back to the telco exchange for the "electronics"
portion.
Any other options ??
Is this on your property - is there a fence or other "path"
where you might be able to string some cable ?
