MikroTik

My idea is to create Hostspot for small municipality, 10.000 max client for start.
So now, range is somewhere, not more than 2-3 Km.
Can u guys suggest equipment that i need?
My budget is arround, 3000 $.
So, my idea is to launch this service only for mobile devices, coz at home they have internet connections, so i will assume they will use this hotspot only when they walking on the streets, to avoid 3G limited bandwidth.

Thanks in advance.

10,000 clients to start???? At 50 users per ap, that would be 200 ap's.....That would be a pretty large system for $3000.....Or is this someone from the forum playing a joke??????

First, you should bring a Cisco router as a sacrifice to Netwerkus, the great and allmighty god that resides deep inside the caves of layer7. Once you have summoned him, loudly say:copper cables are crap!
and you should gain his trust. With his help, you should pull this off in no time.

This is Beginner area, so even joke is a question.
2nd, my idea is to provide free hotspot with limited daily bandwidth and limited hours.
But, i don't know where to start and what is recommend equipment...

Thanks.

Ok, not a joke. The scale of what you are trying to do would require a very good professional at best. Not for a beginner by any stretch of the imagination. Also you are looking at $30,000+ not $3,000. You need some very expensive good gear,

Now that being said, you could install some gear for $3000 yourself, say 10 access points with a router to serve 500 clients, but even that would probably be a mess. You are either going to have to scale it down, or up the budget. Either way, what you are trying to do is hard for a pro, and is basically out of reach for a novice.
