Alexandria, VA | Ask The WISPs Yes, 60 miles is a decent distance, but I don't know that this "great feat" is all that special. With the right radios, good antennas, and enough height, this is doable by just about anyone. | |

| Re: Ask The WISPs This is meant to be used in a 60 mile radius it looks like from the diversity antennas they have on the AP. yes if you use higher gain directional antennas (and make sure your AP can extend the time to wait for returning acknowledgements (cisco ap's have a setting for this) then already people have been using them at great distances. 20-30 miles right now in flat land maybe. Good luck for WISPs in the hilly areas of new england. | |

The article stated it was to be marketed in "developing countries". Typical of Intel, they put WiMax down the Amazon river but not down I-40! I guess that wouldn't produce any PR... | |

Can the 2 technologies be used together, this and WiMax?
