Wireless neighborhood suggestion



Two vendors with solid reputations-
Netgate, at http://www.netgate.com/  probably the best bet for prebuilt
systems.  Up to 400mw, indoor or outdoor units, external antennas if you
really want to push things.  I haven't tried one myself, but
http://www.netgate.com/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=385 looks like
something that might work for you.

War Driving World, at http://www.wardrivingworld.com/, especially for
roll-your-own options.
