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? Is WiFi simpler/cheaper than RF?

Jon.

You specified between computers, So, surplus wifi adapters with the drivers
are found cheaply most anywhere...
What could be much easier, as Windows and most all Linux OS have all the support
built in..

WiFi is RF, it's just how the data is transfered.
