Hello all, I'm not all that savvy with radio antennas, or physics in general, so I've come to kindly ask for your expertise in solving a problem that I'm working on.
Basically, I'm looking for a relatively simple way to get a wireless portable phone to work in an underground cavern of a small non operational mine. The decline ramp into the mine is roughly 2000ft long with a line of cat5e magnetically shielded network cable along the run. At the surface is the wireless base station. I'm wanting to use the network cable with antennas on each end to carry the signal. Is this possible to essentially have the underground portable phone wirelessly transmit to the underground end of the cable then travel 2000ft (vertical distance from surface is 160ft) to an antenna that is situated right next to the base station where it is relayed to it? Any one able to speculate on what kind of components I'd need? Do I need to amplify the signal in such a case? It may also be possible to wire the phone into the cord
The phone system uses the Dect 6 standard if that is of any assistance.
Thank you again if anyone is able to share their knowledge.
Cheers!
