Don't believe everything you see. If you are actually in the IT/Networking industry you will realise that this wee guy is clueless and his bubble will burst soon
as a former RF technician myself, you got extremely lucky. To properly align dishes you need azimuth tool and a man on each dish to adjust as required. But never the less good job
Alex, you’re using the devices at a transmission power way above legal limits in the UK. Both antenna gain and transmitter power totalled together should not exceed 36dBm... and that’s in the licensed 5.8ghz band. If you’re not careful this will cause you a great deal of pain with OfCom! Read up on IR2007 and FWA Band B and C. Moreover, your output is 50watts and the UK limit is 4watts! 🤯
Hey Alex, it is all well and good getting a fast signal at the top of the hill, but how are you going to get that fast signal down into the village at the bottom of the hill? we need a part two to this project please.
I have installed those dishes out in my woods to run cameras. I do not have a clear line of sight going up hill but they work perfectly. Now I am setting up a wi-fi ISP for my neighbors.
Not to mention that there appears to be no resiliency built into the Core, which appears to be built into a loft space susceptible to overheating. Don’t worry, he has a 40minute UPS 😉 Pleased to see the entrepreneurship though, as long as his customers are aware of the limitations and risks of the design, and the appropriate sign-off granted for providing the service. I wish him luck.
LOL real world relevance is pointless. His customers probably have way better UpTime than the Billion Dollar ISP that i'm using. As long he delivers a proven long term good uptime I don't really care for redundancy with ISP.
what I find funny is we are still waiting to hear who has won the last couple of competitions you done.... is anyone ever going to win them? or do you just like getting peoples hopes up?
Hey Alex, absolutely brilliant video....I love all of your videos as I have been following you for many years now! We need to see more of your videos as I find them extremely interesting 😊👍
Awesome video. Company i work for use the same technology to supply internet to a big industrial estate in the middle of no where! I setup the whole Wifi and internet infrastructure for X Factor & BGT using Unifi AP's too! :D
I also run an ISP in Europe.. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay bigger then this guy. Like 10K+ customers. But back to your problem, It will depend on tree coverage for antenna coverage, fiber optic cable is super cheap if you have some tractor there on the farm, build a subsoiler with a cable shoot, 40-50cm (Our machinery achieves 110-130cm direct buried cable.) You can look at a pipe layer, that will do the same job... Lay a cable deep, job done. If there are trees, the signal will vary depending on the time of year (Leaf cover). This guy is a joke.
if you see a cuban take a regular wifi and router, put the router on the roof, brake de wifi, remove internal antena an put external home made yagi, and take 2km conection it incrdible, good job and nice editing
I was thinking about this. I'm wondering if you can buy an old news channel van with those antennas that extends so high and repurpose it to a wifi extender? I know they're made for radio/micro waves, but I think you can connect or convert your wifi router to that antenna system to get miles from it?
Hey Alex, did you ever make a video on how you setup yor WISP and how it all works together. I'm just looking back at one of your videos (I could swear someone keeps stealing my stuff..) back in 2018.
Very cool to see what you are doing with Ubiquiti equipment! Over here in the US the LTE carriers are hopping on with 4G and 5G modems for rural areas and its booming. Then of course Starlink is coming online as well.
Could you get a licence to install a powered repeater station to relay the signal between your home where the core network is, to a station in a field then to relay across to the neighbouring town and villages?. This would help your business a heck of a lot. Great work Stay safe :-)
This is so interesting. Is the next stage to contact the land owner and try to negotiate placing a permanent dish there? There are so many rural part of the uk that people would buzzed on these speeds. Remote working is only going to grow your business more and its pretty cool that you get to bring more opportunities online to these areas. It would be so interesting to know how your pricing compares to other providers.
Have you tested this between to houses in a built up area I'm not far from you but i want to send gbit internet to another house that has like 30mbit diagonally the line would hit about 25 houses along the way on google maps. but one house is on a lower elevation than the other so from the higher point i may just be able to point it diagonally and sort of aim the dish from the other property.
"The reason it was only 85 was because the cable that I was using was only maxing out at 100 meg, and not a gigabit per second." ...CAT6 is stupidly cheap. Why not just use a CAT6 cable to test that theory?
Anyone recommend an option to send about a mile no line of sight. I have fibre my friend doesn't so very poor speeds. Would be good to send it to him even if we coukd get say 50mbps at his end would be enough.
@@georgeb7641 Dirty fibre doesn't slow things down, you just get packet loss or no negotiation. Packet loss may show as a slowdown, but not on a speed test as too many packets were being lost. Fibre also can't auto neg to a lower speed.
I have this same equipment hooked up to starlink aimed at my shop. its too cold to check it out now . my signal was blocked by a camptrailer then moved to inline sight . Im thinking I will have to take my PC back down to wireless unit and reconnect? I will know more in the spring.
Can you put more receivers on to one host dish? Basically, if you only have one of those dishes on your house, but you had like 5 defenders in 5 different locations (with line of sight), will it still work?
Im not too sure on this pairing but yes it is possible. In the industry this is referred to as Point to Multipoint. Ubiquiti's LTU and AirMax MultiPoint is what you'd look at for doing something like what you are suggesting. With LTU there is someone getting 24.59Km or 15.2 miles between points.
you would need a sector, 45' 60' 90' or 120' degrees as a standard powerbeam dish is 15' wide, so your stations would come on sidelobes and jsut create a mess of interference for yourself and be fooled by the CCQ quality/capacity
Hey Alex, Another good vid - Thanks. You're lucky that is it so flat around where you are. we have mountains everywhere where I live. Do you provide services as far out as Ropsley ??

This is what I do in Kenya,,,Thank you sir!!
loving thr vlogs homie
Very impressive Alex. I've got a challenge for you!!
What equipment are you using?
5.6 km isn't 8 miles
Was thinking exactly the same!
Amazing video!! Buzzing that the Internet worked for you x
keep up all the great work on all your videos across all your channels
Hey Alex, absolutely brilliant video....I love all of your videos as I have been following you for many years now! We need to see more of your videos as I find them extremely interesting 😊👍
mee too since the krk speaker mod
You should get a vest to wear to tie off when you're on the roof would be a lot safer.
I rate this
Yeah defo needs a harness
Hey Alex, love your work Mann!! Starting to do the same in a small town in SA🇿🇦 will definitely be taking your tips on making it work🔥
Buzzing for you. I love this this sort of thing, getting signal from point a to point b and it working is exciting.
you better make shure your Internetservice is cheaper than Starlink..
@IswallowCum S yes. it is public info
I suspect many will be having both, perhaps as a backup during sun fades
He says 7 miles and the title says 10 the description says 8 wtf
still with your statement he is getting point across. even at 7 miles is an accomplishment.

I recommend you buy 2.4ghz powerbeam but buy the ac version for higher speed
if you see a cuban take a regular wifi and router, put the router on the roof, brake de wifi, remove internal antena an put external home made yagi, and take 2km conection it incrdible, good job and nice editing
Surprisingly, despite the bold claim of "10 miles" in the title, the reality fell short at just 5 kilometers.
Can you tell more about the socket you installed on the defender

Should collab with tech tips
wait i thought the title said over 10 miles but you said in the video it was 5km which isnt that like only 2miles distance?
They can reach 100 miles but bigger dishes
Keep up the good work Alex
You inspire me. How do you come up with your videos? Keep up the great work bro
I am a technician at a local ISP in Indonesia
I also use that device but on 20 miles away lol 😅👍
Thank you bro you inspired me I now have over a 100 subscribers. Thanks alot for these video keep it up bro
Please do you need apprentice :) ? I really love this and I will like to learn it. Do you have tutorials or guidelines to follow?

Plenty of open fields in Hertfordshire and BT won't service a temporary broadband line. This could be a handy tool

I watched and subscribed but you don't give a link or name for the antenna's. Help please.

You can just buy powerbeam gen2 5ghz they are very strong and build to pick the signal in worst scenarios
@@mataralmuhairi2402 so you think that would work with brick houses in the path I cannot see the other house
It will work and if you want better option buy the 2.4ghz version
Is this Alex uploading 2 videos within a week? 👀 surly not!?
What software do you need to calibrate the antennas ? .. Greetings I live in a rural sector in Chile
"The reason it was only 85 was because the cable that I was using was only maxing out at 100 meg, and not a gigabit per second."
...CAT6 is stupidly cheap. Why not just use a CAT6 cable to test that theory?
CAT5e is perfectly acceptable for gigabit
@@Sparks0001 Cat5 too for small distances
It's not over 10 miles. You can clearly see on 8:35 it is 6,6km, so it's like 4 miles?
Doesn’t all that stuff in your new build garage get damp and condensed as single skin?
Good job. Looks you having fun.
I’ve been subbed since 2016 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is insane. But it is rare scenario with clear line of sight.
What is the name of the radio you used
Great BTS of Mars media. So the next step is renting a little spot, setting up a pole and your in business?
Love your networking vid
Where can I get this antenna?
Do you sell world wide or just where you are
You should do a video about Starlink
Do the radios serve as WAPs also to wireless devices?
When your cable between the laptop and the dish is the bottleneck, your network is officially insane
Just subscribed :) if you have some scrap equipments i would love those :)
I love your work bro
Did you ever find out who owned the mast you were looking at using to boost your PtP ISP service through?
I wonder where I would get with a half-wave Yagi at around 5750MHz (5cm; WiFi annexes A, N, AC and AX). I'll let you know.
I have been sending a 5 GHz 45 mbps signal 10.2 miles at work for almost 4 years now.
hi please how can i make this setup and sell internet through wifi
me thinking the same here
Do you want to setup in Pakistan
Anyone recommend an option to send about a mile no line of sight. I have fibre my friend doesn't so very poor speeds. Would be good to send it to him even if we coukd get say 50mbps at his end would be enough.
a light beam gen 2 can go 20km a power bean can go 30km , and a lighy beam gen 2 LR can go also 30km
Hi Alex which frequency are you sending these radios waves at?
What equipment is this ?
Ubiquiti - specifically litebeam Gen 2 5AC and for sector on chimney im guessing a ubiquiti Airmax 5ghz 30 degree isolation horn
Why was your cable maxing out at 100mbps? Sounds fishy to me. The CPE radio has a gig interface as is your usb Ethernet dongle!
Also interested as to why, fibre may need cleaning
Probably a crappy RJ45 connection happens all the time
@@georgeb7641 Dirty fibre doesn't slow things down, you just get packet loss or no negotiation. Packet loss may show as a slowdown, but not on a speed test as too many packets were being lost. Fibre also can't auto neg to a lower speed.
@@liamcook6271 i highly doubt it, especially not over a device which needed 24V Passive PoE, due to the pairs it uses.
@@stevejones8392 if the CAT 6 (fibre cable) from the dish to his laptop is dirty yes it will slow things down 👍
