Thats a long way

it is good to see that they can make wireless go so long, now all they need to do is make it faster. 22mbps is still a bit slow.

Re: Thats a long way

72 miles is good, but did you look at the map in the link? it's mostly over water. there's really no trees or buildings to get in the way. I would like to see how far they can get it to go on land, maybe the rural midwest areas can use that as a broadband alternative.

Actually water shots are harder to do as the water acts like a giant reflector at those frequencies. You end up with multiple signals being recieved and the radio now needs to distinguish which one is the valid one.

 Not only that but there is nothing on San Clemente Is. other than a few goats and the U.S. Navy. It is a restricted area. So of course not only is there no interference over the water but nothing on the Is. either.
