>>> We hope to WiFi our system, since we're all located close together. As your hoomes are in the planning stages, why NOT planned a wired network. While WiFi is nice, wired is more reliable. WiFi is still troubled by 'problem' trees and rain. I have NOT had any difficulties with my internal wired network AND the community wireless network (maintained by me) has been fussy. ============================================ Robert Heinich Eno Commons Cohousing Neighborhood 9 Indigo Creek Trail / Durham, NC 27712-2564 (e) robert_heinich [at] juno.com -- Joel Plotkin <joel [at] sunyit.edu> wrote: Dear folks: I've checked the archives on community data systems (cable TV and Internet access) and found the 1997 technical data very helpful, as well as the 2002 information. Are there any list members who have more recent information in this fast-moving field? Hundredfold Farm in Cashtown PA is a rural cohousing project with 14 planned homes. We'd like to find a way to get our data and TV without being reliant on the big communication companies. Does anyone have experience with community- owned satellite access? We have heard one opinion that direct satellite links are undesirable for Internet access because they do not come with adequate firewalls (but this is from someone who subcontracts with the Pentagon). What about the big dishes that were popular fifteen years ago for TV? They required decoders, but not monthly maintenance fees. We hope to WiFi our system, since we're all located close together. Reply on or off list.
