At Zonerider, we believe there is enough broadband capacity worldwide for others to enjoy while at the same time earning you - the Hotspot provider - money from your own Wifi network.

Zonerider is a free downloadable windows program, that converts any wireless network into a revenue producing Hotspot. The Software itself is 0.5mgb in size, and runs in the background,
allowing the PC to act as a dedicated Hotspot gateway

End users signup for access with credit cards, Paypal, Moneybookers, or prepaid and at the end of the month we pay you a percentage of the revenue

There are no hidden or monthly charges, the software is always free. You only need a windows PC and a wireless network. Because its windows it will work behind any Wifi or even wired hardware, and therefore works from the smallest to the largest and complex networks.

The Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN

Bridging Access Point

REVIEWED at:-

http://www.digit-life.com/articles/intelwireless/

The Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN Access Point functioning as a wireless hub makes connections between an existing wired network and wireless devices. A number of units may also serves as bridges connecting two or more existing wired networks together via a RJ45 ethernet connector. In addition, the access point can act as a repeater, passing along transmission from one access point to another, creating a wireless "daisy chain" backbone and connecting hard-to-reach areas. A RS232 serial port provides telephone modem support enabling simple gateway to dial up services as well as remote administration.

Intel wireless access points are simple to install, since they ship with a site survey tool to assist in proper placement for desired coverage and performance. IT administrators can manage and monitor the network of access points remotely via standard web browser.

Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN products deliver up to 11Mbps of throughput performance 

These are well built and offer multirole, high performance - ed.

A High Gain Parabolic Horn Fed Dish (1200mm) and High Gain 16dBi Omni-Directional WLAN SERVER antenna <HOT 16> combination.

Local area connections from mobiles to the 16dBi omni are 5 to 16 times the normal range*.

This antenna with a dual antenna bridging access point such as the Intel 2011 enables point to point interlinking ("bridging") between amateur radio licenced nodes to over 35 km with the dish to omni...

Even further range is possible dish to dish with a combined gain of over 60dB... (Megawatt EIRP)..

The Intel 2011B has built in transmit power regulation so that this antenna equipment can be legally used in the U.K. for LICENCE EXEMPT nodes... No benefit is then possible for mobiles but using reciprocal technology, fixed stations with 60cms (2 ft) dishes can access the omni at 10 times normal range and the dish can connect to another (EIRP compliant) dish up to 30 times the normal range*.

Normal range* = Using normally supplied compliant antenna (0dBi) e.g. 100 to 300 metres at 11Mb/sec

Total cost of complete node as shown: Less than GBP £1000

Conversion of FAU to WAP11

Atlantic Telecom provided a public telephone service in Glasgow using a 2.4Ghz wireless system developed by Tadiran / InnoWave. Subscribers were provided with Fixed Access Units (FAU's) which came in two flavours, voice and 'data'. The voice model provided two standard voice lines, and the 'data' model provided one high-bandwidth voice line for V.90 modems. The FAU's were mounted to the roofs and walls of buildings, and pointed in the direction of the nearest 'base station' with line-of-sight.

Unfortunately, Atlantic went bust. A bit of guesswork suggests the electronics in the FAU's were only capable of 64k data speeds, which is not very useful for bridging LAN's. Instead, we make use of the excellent weatherproof casing, and the flat-panel antenna. Two such FAU's were obtained for experimentation, and the results were pleasing.

For our trial, we used the Linksys WAP11 Wireless Access Point. It comes with RPTNC connectors on the back panel, which seem to be almost impossible to source, so the first thing to do is remove the circuit from it's plastic case. Remember this will invalidate your warranty etc etc... The RPTNC's are connected to the transceiver on short patch leads, terminating in MMCX plugs which connect to what resembles a PCMCIA card with big ears. These patch leads can be pulled out. We cut the RPTNC connectors off these leads, and soldered the loose end directly to the antenna circuit board.

WARNING: Don't try this unless you have some electric clue. 12v isn't going to kill you, but you may cause serious damage to your access point and other equipment. Don't blame me if something goes wrong. I'm not an eletrical engineering major, I'm just a networking guy who wanted cheap PoE modules, and decided to write about how I did it. Also there is no set standard (as of 03/19/02) as to which pairs get the positive power, and which pairs get the negative power. Measure your equipment carefully so you don't damage it.

A number of Access Point manufacturers (Lucent, Symbol) are now offering Power over Ethernet add-on's for their Access Points. A PoE module inserts DC voltage into the unused wires in a standard ethernet cable (pairs 7-8 and 4-5). The idea is to supply the AP's power and UTP ethernet connectivity requirements via a single ethernet cable. This works great in areas where you may not have power and/or ethernet easily accessible, like a roof. This also allows you to more easily place the AP closer to the antenna, thus reducing signal loss over antenna cabling. Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable; 2.4ghz signal doesn't do as well over antenna cabling. Also ethernet cabling is much cheaper than antenna (LMR-400) cabling. There are currently two types of PoE adapters: a module jack or hub-like device for multiple access points. The following hack creates a simple PoE module pair.

SVC WLAP

11Mbps Wireless LAN

Access Point / Bridge

The SVEC WLAP is an ATMEL based AP, essentially (but not exactly) the same as the Linksys WAP11, DLink 900AP, SMC MC2655W and the Netgear ME102.
There are two models floating around (V2 and V3), both essentially the same on the inside (afaik), but the V2 having RP-SMA? connectors externally, and the V3 having "permenantly" attached diversity antennas.
The latest development release 1.3.3-pre3 of ap-utils now fully supports the ATMEL12350, the chipset used in the SVEC FD1811
