Doug:
There some companies offer the full package, but if
you want to have it low budget
here what you want
1 45-55 watts solar panel
1 12v deep cycle bat and
1regulator 7 ams works
2 wireless bridge/AP -if you wireless router run in
12v is no big deal, like the linksys ap/bridge
you will need a ADSL/cable router that work in 12v or
get a regulator from 12 to your voltage possible 5vdc
2 amps
2 at least 15 dbs yagi or dish 2.4 ghz
2 coax cables short runs
1 weather proof box for all the above except the
antenna and cable
some cables, work and mounting material, a pole or a
roof where to install
maybe you will be passing the 600 dlls easy
