Options on upgrading equipment
I have a front gate on my farm that has 1800 feet of what I think is cat 3 untwisted 25 pair wire that was placed under Ground 10 years ago to operate the telephone connection and gate opener, the question: is there a way to wire this into my LAN in the house to be able to connect video Surveilance and or like a "Ring Doorbell" for internet access?
It's not going to work
1. Max distance without repeater is 300 fit
2. It must be Cat 5 or Cat 6 twisted
It loks like airFiber 24 is your perfect solution
Please read specs.

Is the wire inside a conduit? Any possible way you could use it as a pull string for a new cat6?
CAT6 is not rated for 1800 feet
How about a DSL extender? No new wire required.... unless it's bad.

I really appreciate the information and attention given my question. as the answers came in other issues presented.. I do not have direct line of site for more high powered wireless solution was less likely to be effective. the wire in the ground has great connectivity and tones out well.. I am waiting on the VDSL to arrive and see if it will work.. so this is not resolved but under continued R&D and deployment. Thanks to all respondants
