[HacktionLab] Peace news camp advice

[Jim Dog]

Hey

Tagging onto the broadband line is generally going to be best (wired if possible) but if you end up going down the 3g route, we have a 3g Yagi antenna (a bit like a tv antenna) in Bradford that I'm sure you could use.

It attaches onto a 3g dongle and when aimed at the nearest mobile antenna, boosts the signal.

Hey all
I'm helping to organise the Peace news summer camp (which you should check out :)) and I thought i'd ask if you guys could give me some tips.

We are camping out in a field in 'Diss' near Norfolk. We might be able to get access to a broadband line from a nearby B&B otherwise we might have to use 3G or something else.

Does anyone have advice on:
a) How best to bring broadband into a field from a nearby house (i.e. wireless repeaters, ethernet etc)
b) What to do if we can't get a hard line, are there any good solutions for boosting 3G signals, would 4G suffice for video conferencing?

Really appreciate any advice and if you have any questions about the event feel free to ask :)
Much appreciatedUsayd
