New Phased-Array AP Boosts 802.11b Range

Posted by timothy on from the bring-it-on-quickly dept.

ttul writes "Vivato, a well-funded wireless startup, today came out of stealth mode to announce its "WiFi" switch product, a super high performance 802.11b access point that uses an array of hundreds of antennas to provide wide-area coverage to standard 802.11b clients. See stories at Wired, and The New York Times. Vivato's new AP completely changes the economics of WiFi especially for providers such as FatPort and WayPort, who now have the technology to deliver 11Mbps to your laptop even if you're miles from a location -- it's the Jetson's, folks!"

    If we assume that the drooling cretin who submitted the story has even a retarded child's command of English, we're bound to assume that he knows what an apostrophe is. But should we really assume that? No. We should assume that he's a slashbot, so wretchedly brainless that he adds gratuitous apostrophes to plurals.

    All together, now: YOU'RE A FUCKING MORON, KID. Do us all a favor and kill yourself.

    The Slashdot editors are terrorists!

    I have it from a good source that all these reposts are done because company X won't give their products, for free, to the editors.
    So what they do is repost the story so get them slashdotted, thus raise their bandwidth bill.
    They usually seem to get free products after the companies realize it's cheaper to fork over a free product than pay excessive bandwidth bills.
