Idaho Companies Tout New Wireless Record

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the can-i-get-a-witness dept.

pavelvp writes "A small wireless Internet service provider in Idaho and a wireless equipment start-up claim to have set a new record for transmitting data across a wireless link this week. Microserv Computer Technologies, based in Idaho Falls, and Trango Broadband Wireless, a fixed-wireless broadband equipment maker, announced that they transmitted data over unlicensed wireless spectrum 137.2 miles." This unverified record would beat the previous record holders from the DefCon WiFi Shootout covered earlier on Slashdot.

    That would be in keeping with the hubris of the contemporary American leadership.

    Fuck you - what exactly about that first comment was a TROLL comment??? It's a valid concern, and just because you or some dumb ass mod doesn't think so, doesn't mean it was a TROLL. A TROLL is someone who posts something completely unrelated to a topic to cause trouble. I didn't do that, I posted a valid concern.
