If all you looked at was legacy solutions with too low bandwidth for your needs then obviously you should look for further solutions. :) Some research in the particular area of long distance using variations of WiFi: http://tier.cs.berkeley.edu/drupal/wireless http://tier.cs.berkeley.edu/drupal/publications#wireless They used to have a wiki, but I guess they've changed their site structure and have not yet updated all links.

Actually I don't think amateur radio has ever been about one way communication. :) Broadcasting is, but maybe that's also something your application can benefit from if governments help with spectrum. > do you have any suggestion ? I think that using GSM in this application is a hack, with both the good and bad things that implies. I think the plan can work, and it does have some advantages, but more importantly I think that all the disadvantages, some of which may be significant, must be evaluated carefully before investing too much in the idea. The advantages are probably mostly non-technical. The disadvantages are mostly technical.

So it seems that you should have a closer look at the work by TIER. > you will be kind enough you you give me other cheap solution after > all its all for charity.. I can't give you any solution at all, but I am trying to point out that there may be quite significant and relevant research and publically available resources which you seem to have been overlooking completely in the project so far. This suggest that you need to do (much) more research. > and one more cause to attract me here is in some places we have GSM > infrastructure and , Govt and some private operator will let us > user some part of it. This is one of the significant non-technical advantages of using GSM for your project. On the other hand, if you can create something else which is much better and comes at much lower cost, then there's much less of an advantage. //Peter
