Technology Triumph

As the house nears construction completion we've been spending more time living and working there, which often includes lots of cell communications and Internet usage. But one problem with our home being very remote and quiet is that cellular and Internet serve are poor at best. So after some Internet research (in Houston of course) I found the ultimate solution, in 3 parts:

1- Exterior antennas for each of those signals. With Ann's help in orienting them toward the best signal we now have at least three bars of service inside the house.

2- Internet service via mobile 3G hot spots from our droid phones and air cards.

3- Distribution of the signals throughout the interior of the house through a wireless transmitter hooked to the antenna cable.

Yes, it sounds like a lot of effort for what is a basic service in the big city... but to me it's worth it to have the best of both worlds- technology and nature.
