Lets see...
A 6 WATT power amplifier feeding a 2.4 meter dish (that's the area of FIVE king sized beds), not to mention a high altitude balloon, helium and all the launch gear, plus GPS tracking systems for the antennas and presumably clearance from government and military authorities to drift around at commercial air-space altitudes in a random direction. I make that an output of nearly 90dBm and a receive sensitivity of probably -140dBm. Allow, say 10dB noise margin and you have a mind blowing 220dB headroom to play with. Compared to a free space loss of 'only' 150dB for the 315Km link and you wonder just how far they COULD have gone. BUT... Can you still call that WI-FI? :-) >FYI > >Alvarion and Breeze set the Guiness world record for the longest WLAN >link at 310 km > >http://www.alvarion.com/RunTime/CorpInf_30130.asp?fuf=298&type=item > > > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
