Hi all,
I would like to create a wireless lan joining 2 sites that are about 50
meters (150 feet) apart. The problem is that my neightbor has a BIG
parabolic antenna only 50 cm from where I have to put mine, and my signal
has to pass through his antenna (my antenna has to point his antenna, the
other site is in that direction). Should this be a problem?? I will create
interferences in his antenna? He will create on mine?? how many dbi need to
accomplish that?


Thanks

Hi OM,

Think in terms of a narrow beam flash light, a nearby beach umbrella,
and the point you want to illuminate. Will the umbrella cast a shadow
over that point? If so, think how bright the flash light has to be so
that you could read a contract's fine print in the shadow on the other
side.
