Hi all, wifi over long distance is a reality on earth-based point-to-point links, with distances up to 200miles. The long distance means long latencies, thus the standard wifi protocol needs to be modified. It exists today implementations of the modified protocols for the WRT54G router. To cope

Apart from power budget issues and Doppler the real killer will be the very high noise level on 2.4 GHz. In urban areas you can expected to receive strong WiFi signals across all of 2402-2450 almost regardless of where you beam. Any signals from a satellite would need to be strong enough to

Lee and those who have responded so far, Those are the questions that would need to be answered before even considering this 'novel' idea. I use the WRT54GL as a reference since that is what I am familiar with. The WRT54GL would need to be almost redesigned because of space radiation conditions

Hello James, I just wanted to throw my two cents in on the protocols. I'm not sure about the need for AX.25 implementation. The 802.11(Wi-Fi) standard should server the purpose needed. AX.25 is a considerably limited protocol. Low speeds, limited error correction, and frankly, it defeats the
