Define "large." If you're expecting this to work a 108mps over a 15 mile radius, forget it right now. If you think "large" is several thousand square feet, or perhaps an acre or two, it might be something possible to do.

Not always. Besides, the 108mps rated equipment is usually proprietary. Not a smart move, unless you expect not never add any other brand of equipment.

This is generally true, but it depends on the distance, and other factors.

Like it or not this stuff involves math, and it IS technical. We also don't tend to spoonfeed people. If you expect us to design the system, forget it. If you want pointers to help with your design, then that's what you'll get. It is also pretty hard to describe some of this stuff without the techical names. Again, we can give you pointers on were to look.

Besides, the math isn't that hard. If you graduated from the average high school you should be able to do it. It's simple stuff: some algerbra, some trigonometry, some geometry.

You're welcome. (By the way, AOL talk ("plz") and a lack of capitalization will only convince people that you're not worth helping.)
