Online platform for 27 acres of agricultural land
Hello!!! I just moved to a large plot of farmland, roughly 27 acres. I am trying to extend my internet from the house across the entire property. I just don't know how to go about extending internet over large distances like my land. Everything in orange is what I own and there are 2 houses on the property, the black outlines. I have watch Linus' video on Ubiquity but I don't know if I can apply that here or if there is something else I can use. The internet would be coming from the house to the far left. My ISP is xfinity and I am using their equipment. If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.
You're asking about connecting the whole area via the internet. Do you mean Wi-Fi? I'd install fiber lines between the houses, set up access points and switches there, and everyone would have internet. If you have good cellular coverage and don't need much data, that works well. Otherwise, you could place Wi-Fi access points on poles and test their range. With a clear line of sight and limited bandwidth needs, it can extend further.
When you raise an AP and employ frequencies below 2.4 GHz, it can travel a considerable distance.
Consider wireless options without cables when you have a clear line of sight. Point-to-point radio connections, such as microwave or millimeterwave links, are available—see the links provided for details. For more investment, fiber installation is an alternative, though slower. If budget allows, burying plastic conduits can work. A cost-effective choice is using Ethernet to connect to ADSL or DSL converters; phone lines can extend Ethernet over several miles. One product mentioned supports speeds up to 100/100 Mbps over 1,000 feet and extends to 3,000 feet with lower rates, available on Amazon.
