Wireless USB - long range

Posted by ARHEXA on May 7, 2011 at 12:01am

I need to connect a USB device to a PC host, with long range (200-500m LOS)

found the "cables unlimited" thing, and other solutions from Belkin, but they are just 10m range.
i've found USB over wifi - which could be good - only thing i CANT use 2.4ghz.

I've thought - maybe my Xbee could carry the USB data ? it will be slowed down of course, but that's OK.
i know that USB protocol is very complex, so i'm skeptic, but maybe not ?

any other solution ?

    Oh gosh, look what i've found !

    it does pretty much all settings, it can set the DSLR's parameters remotely,

    the only problem is to get a feedback -  that you need a video stream with your own video transmitter from the camera's live video out,

    and it's not done through the canon software which is really nice and easy to use

    Good Question.  I was wondering kind of the same thing.  I have 2 Xbeepro 900's and was wondering if i could us them to connect to the keychain camera to use via onboard webcam.
