Hi,

we have choice to use "military" two-ways metallic line, about 1 km long, with impedance cca 45 ohm/500m, to connect in our network (as compensation wi-fi line across town). Does anybody know some xDSL, VDSL or homeplug devices, which make possible connection about 10 Mb/s (and HIGHER - i know im very courageous) with this distance? Anybody have some experiences with it? Some tips (repeater etc.)?

Thank you.Sorry - I think you need a specialist electronics/networking forum.  I haven't a clue.  Anyone else?No, this is not within the focus of this forum, although a few of the 16 year olds here may BS you into thinking they know something about it.  In case you are still checking on this ....   I've created LAN extensions with Copperlink, but not WiFi. For about $40 a month you can buy a line pair from your telephone company and put together a private DSL type connection ( LAN Bridge ) with SPEEDS up to around 16.67mbps, but the maximum distance I believe is 35,000 FEET.

* Also Com sync speed drops with distance. Its a SOLID fast connection speed most of the distance, then it drops off as you start getting past 2 to 3 miles or so on regular single pair copper telephone wire..

I have 4 sets of these to bridge all our business locations together, Much cheaper than T1.

They also have shorter distance Extenders that can communicate at 16.67Mbps at : http://www.pcconnection.com/ProductDetail?Sku=466856

*** For a reliable fast connection that is secure, I'd go with Copperlink Extenders!!  thank you very much, it seems very interesting, but im afraid of price 899 usd is too high for us (citizens group about 50 persons)... but its good know it.You laid three miles of cable, Dave?  Do you live in the desert?!  Wouldn't creating a fiber line that runs across town work ??
Plus I don't think its too expensive
