WaveLAN antenna connector?

Dmitri,

Thanks very much for your reply. I did indeed post to alt.internet.wireless and it looks like I may have to open up the AP and solder a "known" jack into place. I have been checking eBay, but have come up short.

Yes, this is a Lucent WaveLAN AP and, yes, there are some uses for it :) What I'm doing is attempting to link two sites that are less than a mile away, but are not line-of-sight with no feasible way to construct a tower. The 900 Mhz signal should do the trick... if I can just get the antennas connected!

Thanks!

Lucent (or yours is still marked NCR ?) used proprietary connectors back then. They may be still available on eBay, but I'm not sure. You definitely want to re-post this question to alt.internet.wireless: very responsive crowd, you'll definitely get help there. We keep it archived here:

Anyways, is there still some use for a non-IEEE-compliant WavePoint? ;-)

Good luck with your search.

You may try asking in sci.electronics.components. I used to use Lucent Wavelan equipment for wireless internet access. It was the first high speed internet option available in a town I used to live in.

I have to wonder if you have tried using regular 802.11x equipment for your link. I have used 802.11b cisco equipment for linking offices miles away (using the Cisco pringles can antennas and a central whip antenna). There was not always line of sight access but we had no problems.
