Hi, I understand your situation. You're trying to cover a 0.5km² area with Wi-Fi, including one tree in the middle, and you have power only at the start of the field using a gas generator. You're okay with decent speeds and low latency, even around 1 second with 5 Mbps. Can you confirm if a single access point will suffice? Also, do you need any special devices for the coverage? Thanks!

No need for Wi-Fi if your phone already has internet access. You can use the data directly without relying on the network.

Sure, there is. Initially, we require a LAN connection, then we can't depend on our (any) internet service.

I'm asking about the reason behind needing LAN without internet for phones. Your speed and latency needs don't align with real-time communication, so a mobile base station would be ideal. But you mention LAN specifically, which makes sense if you're concerned about 1000ms latency and 5mbps. Could you describe your issue? That way, we can find a suitable solution.

We are organizing a "dog show" where after the race, judges record their feedback on tablets or phones. Our server is positioned at the start of the field to manage this data. This setup requires LAN connections, as our system is designed that way, and we need coverage across the entire field since signals are weak there. Another issue is that judges can be anywhere, which is why we must cover the whole area.
