Here is an intereting blog post on long distance optical links.

I have a small quantity of chimney antenna mounts. These are all 'as new' condition. Very quick and easy to setup. No drilling required. Best and easiest way of mounting an antenna on older style houses.

I have used one of these at a setup for the last two years supporting a 3m tall mast with a 15dB antenna. It has proved to be strong enough to survive through the storms in winter.

Each kit comes with:
antenna Bracket
wire strap
wire clamp
x2 I-bolts
x2 U-bolts
x6 nuts
x6 washers

$15 each (normally around $33 at Bunnings)

Pickup from Seaton or DryCreek (depending what time/day)
Delivery *may* be available for little to no extra charge depending on your location and amount purchased

It is now possible for even small community groups to build telecommunications networks that can provide coverage across large metropolitan areas using wireless technologies. This has created new opportunities for communities to access and share information in ways that have not been available in the past.

Such communities are appearing around Australia and are working to both educate and participate, people from all walks of life in building and using this technology.

Air-Stream Wireless Incorporated thanks the many organizations for their support of the community wireless network including:
