5 km Range Commercial Wi-Fi Available

Posted by samzenpus on from the connect-at-lunch dept.

prostoalex writes "Japanese company Maspro Denkoh will start selling transmission systems, enabling WiFi signal over 5 km, Network World magazine reports. From the article: "There are two types of antenna: one is a tube-shaped model about 40 centimeters long, and the other is a much shorter and square-shaped model. Combining two of the tubular antenna -- one on each end of the link -- will result in a transmission distance of about 5 kilometers while one of each antenna will work on distances up to 2 kilometers and two of the compact antenna will be fine for up to a kilometer, the company said.""
