[Shop-talk] Cell Phone Signal Boosters

I think the big trouble here is that the only internet service that may be
available to Ronnie is satellite-based, and that introduces at least 2
seconds of latency. Real-time applications are not well served by
high-latency networks. It doesn't sound like conventional landline
connectivity (DSL, fiber or cable) are available, and the local wireless
ISP is hideously expensive.

Ronnie- It sounds like your best bet may indeed be figuring out which cell
provider can provide you good data service at a reasonable price (made
useable with a Wilson or Wi-Ex repeater), and use that with a Cradlepoint
(or similar) router. If mass-quantity bandwidth is needed, perhaps the
satellite provider could be your secondary bandwidth (though they are
inherently limited by the quantity of bandwidth the satellite can offer).

Otherwise, maybe you can "see" a building in whatever is "downtown"
(Hearne?) and establish your own wireless link there. Ubiquiti or Microtik
gear is inexpensive and outdoor-grade...
