Abstract :
The paper describes the results obtained from a research activity aimed to realise very-low-cost wireless transmitters for the realisation of high capacity point-to-point radio-links over huge distances. The transmitters were obtained from recycled PC hardware components and low- cost radio boards for IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11 h applications. The manufactured hardware was used to implement a topology network made of links ranging from 100 to 300 kms. Performance analyses were run for about six months, showing extraordinary stability and reliability and excellent data transport performance..
