Long distance WiFi

With a large, high-gain, highly focused antenna and maximum legal power settings, a 125 mile WiFi link was established. Note that the transmitter and receiver were located on mountain tops to achieve a line of site connection with a large margin for the fresnel zone.

For more on the team and the project, see this Slashdot story and Frank Keeney's coverage of the event.

Here is another, slightly longer link (137.2 miles). Note that the curvature of the earth is a factor at this distance.
