Good evening, all-
I'm in a bit of a quandary here, and I'm hoping that Someone(s) might be able to help me figure out a solution. Here's the background:
I head an organization that runs--among other things--a children's home for abused and neglected minors in Central America. Part of our purpose is to help equip students for self-sufficiency as they approach adulthood. With the growth of global technology and the beginnings of adopting online research for homework assignments, we ned to provide a reliable internet network for several computers set up in a computer lab.
Currently, the only data technology to which we have access is a new network in the country established via cellular (both GSM and CDMA networks are available) connectivity. Because we are in a fairly remote, mountainous region, our signal is weak. However, on one side of the compound we do receive a signal that can be boosted to very useful levels. Unfortunately, that location is about 200' away from the actual children's home.
So long story short(ish)...
I need to find a means of taking that cellular data via a cellular account, and convert that into a usable ethernet network that I can then distribute to the home via Cat6 cabling via a gigabit switch and router.
Does the equipment exist to accomplish such a task? If so, what would the physical setup look like? If it's possible, I've got to have my ducks all in a row prior to traveling back down there.
Thanks a LOT for any help!
Chris
