The description fits what Pebble does: long-distance 11b wireless using 
antennae on tall masts in the back yard. If I was sure I could get over 
the neigbour's trees and the Roe Highway without spending an absulute 
fortune, it's what I'd be doing, though I'd likely stick a Linksys 
WRT54G or similar, running Linux, up the pole.

Until we have good information, we can't give good advice:-)
