    Hello

    I'm seeking advice on a technical matter. I want to establish a
    private (wireless) network in an area of say 5x5 km2. In this area there
    are a number of vehicles moving around and each of the vehicles should
    constantly - every second - be updated about the position of the other
    vehicles (obtained via GPS). In addition to the position other types of
    data might need to be exchanged/distributed as well.
    Each of the vehicles will have a laptop onboard which will be used for
    processing the information obtained from the other vehicles.
    Since it is not possible to cover the area with normal wireless access points
    I'm seeking another carrier of the signal. GSM/GPRS is not really an
    option either due to the cost of having around 25 phones running 24/7.
    Does anybody know of another technical solution which I can use to create
    such a network?

    Yours
    Karsten

    PS: and hopefully the OT does not disturb to much...
