hi,

I'm trying to assemble a wireless network between two computers. The
maximum range is 300m. All the network will do is transfer data from a
GPS plus an additional 34 bits of data from one computer to another.
Can anyone recommend a cheap, easy to use product? Preferably
something that connects to the USB or serial port.

thanks,
Jon.

Pcmcia WiFi cards with external directional antennas, or USB WiFi dongles if
line of site, or better yet, usb/ethernet WiFi game adapters with highly
directional external antennas... Easily do-able for under $100.

Thanks for the quick reply. Are there any specific products you'd
recommend? I'd rather not utilize directional antennas as one computer
will be mobile and although it too will have an GPS having a
directional antenna means I'll have to move it in the right direction.
Is RF a better solution?
