Temporary broadband setup in the middle of nowhere

    Hi

    How would I go about setting up a broadband connection (say 2Mbps) in a field 20km from the nearest telephone exchange? I would just need it for a week or two.

    Is satellite my only option?

    ???

    If there no wires then you will have to go wireless.

    If you go wireless you will need line of sight to something.
    Satellite needs line of sight to but that's trivial.

    8Km WiFi links are easy enough - longer ones a little tricky - needing bigger dishes etc. or better gear (5.8GHz) but can be done.
    But you still need a connect to a point that is sharing 2Mb - is there one ???

    Where is the field , what is the time scale - if it is this month then satellite would be your only man.

    But if it's only for two weeks.. - you might get more interest if you agreed to setup a permenant link eg: if the field was mid way between two places or you could link into a local community scheme - could even be cheaper than renting

    Cheers, satellite it is then. 3G might work too - if we had 3G.
