A company I worked for in the early 2000's produced a reality tv series which was shot on an island about 1.5km out from the city shore. It needed a decent (but rather temporary) Internet connection and our company headquarters happened to be near by, so my colleagues set up a directional WiFi antenna pointed from the building's rooftop to the island. The total distance of the line-of-sight WiFi connection was about 2.5km and apparently it worked fine when the weather was okay.
- theyinwhy 9y agoNow you need to match your experience with the post above about the van stopping in the link's line of sight and tell us: - what wifi you had and - what the bandwith was. We need to solve the riddle if it was wifi or laser link.
- kennu 9y agoReally can't remember much details, but I suppose at the time all WiFi equipment in Europe was based on 802.11b (max 11 Mbit/s).
- PaulStatezny 9y ago2.5km seems ridiculously far for WiFi to be effective. Does 802.11b support this magnitude of distance?
