QuoteCAT5 isn't an issue. Still got an unopened 1000 foot box from last year and probably 400 feet in the other box.
How far are the tents apart? Rather than deal with wireless, why not bury the cable in a garden hose or use those wire protectors they use at concerts. The golf carts would probably like them, they're like a little ramp.
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I thought Primestar was polarized and used an LNA in the antenna.

That's what we did. It's just so inelegant.

Yeah but it's cheap!!! Make it kind of a theme an have fun with it. Call it the redneck setup!!!
Have your networking equipment sit on top of old equipment (an big old token ring hub would be perfect)
Run a couple of pieces of cable that aren't hooked up and hang some shirts on them.
Make a satellite dish out of beer cans
Hang up two tin cans and a long string and call it the "backup system." When someone asks how it works tell them you run one end to the ISP and then make the modem connecting sound with your mouth.

Yeah, but for 802.11abg you are only using the reflecting surface. You use a homemade feed for it.

STOP IT!!!
QuoteIf you could get us two directional antennas (dishes, yagis, whatever) good for 5.2 to 5.8 GHz that would help with the 802.11a problems. SMA connectors ideally.
I don't have any dishes but let me dig out some old field manuals and see what I can do. When I was in the military We mainly used simple stuff like long wires or an inverted V. Never worked with anything that high freq though. However, a transmission signal is pretty much a transmission signal so all the theory should still apply. I'm thinking something along the lines of an inverted V would work well to cover the entire convention area since you would have dual transmission lobes. How much power does the transmitter use?
