:I dont think a 1mile link would work without repeaters.
I just tested a 19dbi antenna going to an eee 701 laptop and got just slightly over 500m in 11b mode. If they are handheld phones, I dont think even 200m would work - most laptops can get up to 300m.
This test I did was in a rural area, so in a city street, the 2.4ghz cordless phones will cause too much interference.
I have a few questions on that. What model wireless card is in the EEE 701? How much signal were you driving through that 19dB antenna? What beam width did it have?
