Is there any way I can set up a wireless link that goes for some miles THROUGH SUBURBS?
It seems like everything sold here uses the high frequency ISM bands. I am looking at something to transmit from zero to maybe 5 miles through suburbs, trees, and ground. The remote is mobile and cannot be taller than 5 feet, so no high gain. The base station can be much taller but more than 20 feet is impractical. Data rate does not need to be super fast but non-slouchy would be nice. Cellular and wifi are both out. Power budget can take a few watts, but not too much more.
