While fun and possibly educational, these long-distance records are useless. There's zero fade margin, so the first reasonably sized chunk of precipitation or for that matter, thermal inversion, that happens to get in the way, good-bye signal.
As it's been posted before, if they want to impress, get widespread deployment of secure and cheap wireless broadband to the masses. No one needs to see long-distance broadband microwave hops; it's been done by AT&T and/or Lenkurt since 1965. |

They have to work on the technology, eventually it'll get better.
Stop talking out of your ass!

| They do not have to work on the technology. The technology to spray microwave RF long distances has been widely used for half a century. It's been done using solid state technology for over thirty years. The telephone company routinely sprayed that kind of bandwidth long distances for decades. It's how long-distance telephone calls were routed before they planted all that fiber in the ground. And there were hundreds of calls utilizing the kind of bandwidth that produces megabit data throughput. What is to work on here? Been there, done that, the scientists already have the t-shirt and it was left in the mud at the first Woodstock.
Sending 802.11 100 miles is fun, but hardly useful. The technology, as I indicated in my previous post, needs to improve for point to multipoint distribution of data, not sending a single data connection hundreds of miles. We already have that. Go Google the concept of last mile and you'll understand.
Thanks for your input. Now go back to your self-flagellation. |
