most important things?

[michumi]

Hi everyone. I am newbie, so please be patient ;-) Could anybody send me some links or tell me what are most important things which I have to remember about, when I want to start wireless ISP? For example i would to know where i should to place antenas, HOW TO CONNECT block of flats via wireless network(should I put antena on the top of building and then put some antenas for customers?). Something about tophology(i know that points have to "see" each other, but what else?).

Thanx in advance
Mitch

One of the best resources I've stumbled across is at

http://www.telexwireless.com/wlanfaq.htm,

which gives advice and links on all the topics you've mentioned. This is primarily aimed at unlicensed 2.4 GHz 802.11b point to multipoint systems but is generally applicable to most systems between say 900 MHz and 10 GHz. See also

If you do not have clear line of sight and sufficient Fresnel zone clearance then you will need something that can handle multipath - OFDM is your best bet. Let me know if you need further details/leads/links.
