Wireless vendors Trango and
Microserv created a 137.2 mile ground-to-ground wireless link using "off-the-shelf" equipment from Trango. This
distance bests the Defcon Wifi Shootout winners by 12.3 miles.
People are
crying foul, however, because (1) there were no independant observers to verify the distance and setup and (2) the
equipment used is not 802.11b Wi-Fi - though it does use the unlicensed 2.5 and 5 Ghz spectrum. Still, that distance is
impressive.
This niche blog has now been merged into the The Wireless Report (www.thewirelessreport.com), which covers all things wireless.
