Bridge

I have a question about using a wireless bridge.

I'm pretty much computer illiterate, so bear with me.

I have Starlink at my home and would like to install blink wireless cameras at my business about 1 kilometer away.

There are buildings and trees in the way but without them it is pretty much line of sight.

Is there a wireless bridge system that will  work for me?

    Extremely unlikely, thus no.

     

    Direct line of sight is required, plus some allowance  for the Fresnel effect. On 1000 meters, and for 2.4 GHz, this would be a radius of about 5.6 meters, a radius if 3.8 ... 3.6 meter on 5 GHz ... so above and away from any obstacle to start with.

      Thanks a lot for the reply.

      Looks like it won't work.
