Imagine having a few monitors/laptops, etc, watching live lapping action as well as providing internet access (depending on an available land line).

At the very least a desktop unit running as a wireless router to share schedules, pics, and any other available information.

Just a thought. Ed

 

good call ed.......


too bad I just blew a bunch of cash on a wired network for my hizzy

 

The We Todd's will have a wireless broadband connection, however, the bandwidth isn't really good enough to share it imo.. but we will be broadcasting live video from expo onto WTDR

 

!Then I finally will have to get a cell phone on the right network!

 

cool...my mom will be able to watch me crash and burn in a fiery decapitating death

 

It would be great to have a live feed from the Expo!

 

 

The first time I read this Ed, I thought you meant "live lapping" as in lap dances.

Now, that would phuckin' own.

 

Well it was a good thought Ed. Unless you or someone else can make it happen...

 

I can bring my wireless router. What we need is for it to run off Aspenny's Sprint PCS Wireles LAN card

I wil have my laptop. I will call the hotel and check on internet availability.

 

I have the ablity to connect my cell phone with my laptop and get internet service, never tired it yet, to cheap to get the chord. Also I have a wireless router if it's needed.

 

If some one has Broadband on Dish or DirecTV, they can just bring that and use it since it does not require a land line

 

DirectPC does..

didn't know DISH network or DirectTV offers internet access, but then, I have no reason to look into it.

George: 40kbps beats 1kbps wireless dialup

 

Where is everyone staying? Some hotels have broadband connections.

 

I'm staying at your moms

Camping will own me

here's another idea.....

 

Why not just run a really long cat 5 cable and get some repeaters

Now you're talkin'......


I also can bring 2 wireless ready laptops if needed.

 

If the hotel has a decent broadband connection and the track is within line of sight (Point to point with NOTHING in the way, trees, hills, houses, buildings, etc) you can use the hotels broadband connection, a WAP on each end and some tin can waveguide antennas and you could make a wireless link. Being the midwest i don't think hills will be a problem. The most expensive piece is the WAP's. You could go as far as 10 miles as long as it's a clear shot from the hotel to the track. Obviously the top floor of the hotel (obviously the more floors on the hotel the better) and broadcasting it from the tower at the track is best. You want to be higher up to avoid anything getting in the way. That would be pretty badass.

Do you know what you're talking about? Not even a wired network can reached 10 miles.

 

Ummm i don't think you know what u are talking about... I'm working on a system with some cisco equpment that can get almost 2 megs per second 20 miles out

 

BURNT!

 

hehe ... I saw a few Cisco boxes on the elevator at work today.

Just chuckled and looked over at the guy, and pointed to take them to my house!
