Next G 850MHz Antenna
Need Broadband Internet?
Having moved to regional Queensland to discover poor internet
(meaning no Cable or ADSL at the time), I tried Satellite with
Reachnet and Telstra as a first attempt. but the speeds were
terrible.
Townspeople had reasonable Wireless Internet speeds but being 25km
from the transmission tower meant having to overcome the challenge
of distance.
As an amateur radio operator I understand propagation and could see
the possibilities of an external antenna and could build what I
needed.
Next Step Research
If you zero in on the Wireless frequencies that you wish to capture,
you can build the right antenna.
My focus was Telstra/Bigpond Next G only... If this isn't your
desired band, then you need to adapt for your location and Telco.
Using a borrowed broadband modem, with an external antenna port, and
using a generic VHF antenna I improved the receive signal. This gave
me heart to continue on and build a better Yagi beam antenna
resonant on 850MHz.
