I am the "comms chair" on an HOA board. The HOA is in a remote area which has no cell phone access. ISP is via DSL. The property is on a small lake about a mile long (see fishhawklake.com for details) , with dense woodland once you get any distance at all from the lake (on the access roads for example ) I have been asked (as though it's trivial):
"Can we add 2 or 3 more transmitters around the lake so our maintenance engineer is continuously in Wi-Fi range? My plan is to get him a tablet so he can take pic’s, video and always be connected/reached by email. We really need this as the busy season approaches."
I'm a software tester by profession, but I'm not very knowledgable about wireless networks beyond setting up one at home. My gut feeling is this would be non-trivial and due to tree density would not be doable at all beyond the margins of the lake. Any and all suggestions as to feasibility and equipment would be most welcome
