Wi-Fi Link Record Achieved In Sweden

The state-owned Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) announced the
establishment of a broadband wireless Wi-Fi link over a distance of 310
kilometers.

The link was made between a stratospheric weather balloon and a base
station on the ground in Esrange, Sweden using wireless equipment from
Alvarion (www.alvarion.com). Weather information and video was
transmitted over the link that used frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band in
which SSC is allowed to higher power levels. It comprised the longest
known Wi-Fi link ever established. An SSC spokesman declared it �an
amazing technical achievement.�

Regards
Geoff
