DWL-2100AP High Speed 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless 108Mbps Access Point with omni directional antenna
is this equipment used for providing Internet service
am i right or wrong
D-Link High Speed 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless 108Mbps Access Point
No. First of all the antenna won't be strong enough to give a signal more than 100m away (if the space between the AP and the client is unimpeded), secondly, it's an indoor device, so you couldn't really put this on a rooftop and expect it to work for very long. Especially in this weather.
The equipment I've mentioned is designed to be used outdoors, and is powered by the ethernet cable itself (there is a power-over-ethernet injector required but that is meant to be kept indoors near a power source).
Here's a photo of one of our Ubiquiti rockets in NZ (we've used the M5 here, but the M2 looks identical and that's what we're thinking of using in India). The Rocket M5 is attached to a Ubiquiti 16dBi 120-degree sectoral antenna (cost about Rs16,000 for the combo) - you'd need 3 of these for a 360 coverage area and as mentioned, the range and performance is excellent. The longest distance I've tested was 2.2km away in an industrial estate with just a standard WiFi USB dongle at street level, but with some NanoStation M5's we should be able to see this from 15-20km away if we have line of sight (no hills and such). Sadly, I haven't had the opportunity to test at that distance yet.

The photo shows it attached to a mast before we erected the mast itself.
The other option you could try is a TP-Link TL-WA5210G with a 15dBi omni-directional antenna (TL-ANT2415D) - together these would cost around Rs6k or so and would give you theoretical coverage of up to 15km, though in practicality, 1km is more realistic in an urban area without any special equipment on the receiving end, and probably still less than that given the effects from the metal bars most people have on the outside of their windows. This model is quite popular in Pakistan, but keep in mind, however, that my experience with this unit indicated to me that the performance is less than stellar even with only 1 client, and we ended up returning it to the distributor (lesson learned).
There are tons of other manufacturers with similar equipment - EnGenius, Mikrotik, Asus to name a few, but I've not had much of a chance to play with many of them, mostly for lack of availability in NZ or India or both.
Whichever option you choose, I would still recommend using some kind of CPE with an external antenna as a "client" to ensure a more stable connection - it would save you a lot of heartache later on.
