Pushing Wi-Fi's Limits: Problems and Solutions

securitas writes "Forbes technology columnist Arik Hesseldahl discusses the problems with 802.11x Wi-Fi - speed and range - and how to push its limits in a pair of his Ten O'Clock Tech columns. He discusses the alphabet soup of Wi-Fi standards, so-called 'Super G' dual channel bonding that allows two of 11 channels to act as one (and the interference problems that ensue), and the multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) method 'using multiple antennas to break a single, high-rate signal into several lower-rate signals' that could be a solution. Pushing Wi-Fi's Limits, Part Two focuses on repeaters, Wi-Fi mesh networks, WiMax and a company called BelAir Networks that has deployed several Wi-Fi mesh networks."

First, it was a joke with some basis in fact and your attempt to refute it included plenty of fact to base the joke on.

Using your own number of 1000 times more powerful; so that 15 minutes experiment shows you what 15000 minutes of exposre does. 15000 minutes is less than 11 days; it's not that much.
