I'm planning to do this, but with a twist... Piratebox can be modified to use any access point when you load it on a raspberry pi. So my plan is to run a pi and ubiquity router off a solar panel/charge controller. That way the signal can be beamed out point to point long haul, to another receiving dish, and sector antennas. You could literally cover a city sized area with an offline network that when joined, provided direct access to the piratebox, no matter which router you connected to. Similar things have already been done to spread wifi out across large areas that are "off the grid"
