- I don't know if this qualifies as RF, but a company called Cylink
- makes 'wireless' modems that don't require much of an antenna. From
- the picture in the glossy marketing release, it looks like the
- antenna for a walkie talkie, or one of those old transistor radios
- from the 60's. You could probably install a set of these and your
- physical plant would never notice ;-)
-
- They claim up to 10 mile range, and 256kb/sync with 'spread spectrum
- technology'. Their phone number is 408 735 5800.
-
- I have no connection with these folks, other than I'd like to have
- one between my office and home.
-
- Why don't you just try running 10bT between the buildings?
