That is not correct. ; )

Always did have suspicions .........

what do you mean you can't believe no one else noticed the handcuffs on the cellar door, that's just normal practice here in the UK everyone keeps them there.

Looks like you'll have to run it within a guest network and/or totally separate from your own internal network. Looks risky.

Oh don't worry I was just on the website it's encrypted "Using an encryption algorithm, other wireless devices cannot search for the device's signal, so it is hidden " Sarcasm sarcasm sarcasm. Sounds like it's encrypted by not using standard Wi-Fi AKA it doesn't show up in the Wi-Fi list because most devices don't see 900/800 so it's totally secure because it's using security through obscurity! But you can have up to 4 transmitters so maybe there's a pairing process or it's just plain open? Would be definitely interesting to see a firmware dump. I would suspect there's some sort of embedded routing going on unless it's just doing a straight ethernet to hub like signal conversion.

Oh is that the frequency! Yeah no wonder. In the US I believe thats was a wireless microphone frequency was reallocated for public safety and LTE data a.k.a. the cell phone companies bought it at a high premium with a few caveats.

It's not LoRa. LoRa Is further range but nowhere near as high bandwidth

Probably pinging Chinese govt servers like what all the cheap Chinese tech does.

That’s my concern also, he should have addressed that first thing before going into his demonstration.

I have no idea, I don't have it. But it doesn't have any UI, so it probably doesn't have an IP address, so theoretically it shouldn't be able to communicate with anything...

Did you watch the video and read the specs? This looks like an ideal solution for you if you don't need high speed data.

@@videolan Thanks for replying. Yes, I assumed that 1GHZ isnt powerful for what im after these days. Do you think that this system would be reliable and consistent 24/7? As alex mentioned there isnt mant of these about atm

Yes, kind of. Band plan 862-870 MHz is Mobile (Primary) This uses allocation from 863MHz. It is worth noting that the pre-allocated parts are for IMT. It also worth noting that 'Residual Emergency Services use in Scotland' and while "862-863 MHz" is listed for 'emergency Services use.' It doesn't say if that's for the rest of the UK and/or included in the wider use for Scotland. Licence exempt devices must follow Ofcom's IR 2030 but these are 'Short Range Devices (SRDs)' It would certainly be interesting to see them transmitting while a SDR checks how much spectrum they're using. Maximum bandwidth I can see allocated per channel is 200kHz and max power is 500mw, but as low as 1mw erp.

outdoor wifi ap is probably the best way to go

No you only need a TV licence if you watch broadcast TV like anything through a TV aerial or satellite dish. You don't need one just to own a TV or to watch streaming services like Prime or Netflix or YT or you home CCTV.

If you have a line of sight, there are many better option available (search "outdoor CPE", these things are rugged WiFi routers designed to be used outdoor that contains very powerful directive antennas to connect two fixed point together.... the less powerful devices can reach 3km and the most powerful one can reach more than 50km).

BTW.... very long range CPE aren't rugged WiFi routers with an internal powerful antenna but an extremely powerful rugged antenna with an internal WiFi router instead!!!... if you want long distance the antenna shall be big but the router remains small........ Search for example "Airgrid M2", the WiFi router is contained inside one third of the central plastic stud and all other parts is just the antenna!!! 🙂

This is the WiFi HaLow standard.... is specially designed for long distance, low power, high number of hosts and to withstand a lot of interferences. This is not intended to allow the use of a laptop in the basement but is intended for reaching multiple IoT devices (with very low bandwidth consumption) or as a very last resort if no other connection are feasible..... BTW, even "standard" WiFi can runs for tens of kilometers if proper equipments are used and if there is a line of sight.... but this requires proper outdoor devices, proper installation, proper cable management and so on.... there are nothing to do with 99% of the standard internet users!....

It runs on 863-868 MHz in the EU with channel width 2 MHz (2 available) or 1 MHz (5 available). These are the only 'legal' frequencies to use it on in the EU however there're other factors which make this device questionable in terms of legality.

WiFi Halow has the same level of security as WiFi n and g.

What security implications do you think about? I understand that broadcasting your WiFi in 1KM radius isn't the smartest thing to do however it uses WPA3 and random passwords. Should be fine for your iot or guest network maybe. I also think you should really be careful where you're broadcasting your signal and maybe use Yagi antennas not to jam alarms or headsets of everybody near you.

Dudes networking knowledge is pretty 101, but if your network security relies on security through obscurity (hoping no attackers happen to be in range to capture your encryption hash) then you're doing network security wrong. For something like this you should be using a very strong password on its own network or VLAN and ensuring all the endpoints are also patched and secure so that if someone did manage to crack the password they can't cause any damage.

It is if your speaking english not american 😂

The gateway at one of my properties is just over a kilometre away. He has a good point.

just don't watch his videos then

@@giannisd961 that's the plan.
