Nanotech will simply cause the collapse of our current economy. Think of it, a machine that can build it self and then build anything; assemble any material, out of thin air. This is when we will have to TRULY move to an information economy..
I we could get this to work for around 15 miles LOS, then it would make the ideal tower feed system. Our current tower feet systems max out about 50mbps, with the exploding growth in wireless broadband, we could use 100mbps. What we could REALLY use is 1gbps data feeds....
Our service has to pay TIF taxes (which we charge our users for), but as long as we do not provide phone service, voice over IP, then we do not have to register as a CLEC

with 100mw, you can use a 19dbi or 21 dbi antenna on the TX side. Using a larger antenna also gives you more receive area, so you can pick up fainter signals from further away.
Check out http://www.techsplanet.com/wlan/calc.htm for a link calculator. a ? Will appear next to the "Peak transmitted EIRP " of a non-legal setup.
Seriously, many people will read this and not want to do it, rolling your own will break the law in a way you CAN BE TRACED!!!! Unlike the normal slashdot stereotype, many of us would rather buy a legal system....
Look for our Computer Shopper adds starting this September.
And yes, we have done VERY long distance hauls, 40+ miles. it really depends on the tower height. We have even set a 160 mile haul using space on 900' towers....
When done correctly, you can get a 20 mile + link setup. The operative word being CORRECTLY!!!
The tin can antennas are not correct, nor is altering a wLAN card to do something it isn't ment to do. Use a Cisco AIR-PCI352 or AIR-LMC352 100mw card for your long range wireless links, and the correct antenna + cable.
We do this legally and professionally; we have many antennas, cables, amps, and other accessories. We also have complete long-range pre-built systems

This is the tech that gave the NSA cold sweats. AT&T was going to make a cheep encrypted phone like this, it freaked out the general intelligence groups. They tried to make encryption unlawful, but it didn't work (as we all know). I would mind getting one of these just to spark hits on the computer they must have setup to find these types of calls when they are placed....

and just think... in several locations on this planet, we do produce anti-matter. In fact, we are looking to ramp up the antimatter production and are trying to find out how to make it faster! if 1kg can blow up a 2000 mile radius, what can 1 ton do?:) thats something to think about...

The power grid is so lossy, you can power a house by setting up a capture coil near a high tension line. Or, you can light up a florescent light by just holding it near one. We loose 20% of our generated power by the air and resistance loss from the power grid. If we replaced all high tension lines with this technology, we would have 15-20% more power without ever building a new power plant. Plus, we could efficiently move power where it is easy to make it (nuke, hydro, wind) to places it cant be made easy. With a super-conducting power rail from one coast to the other, we would have the ability to send power from one end of the nation to the other with less than 1% loss. This is only a dream with copper and Al cable.

we TRY to keep the network as fast as possible, but at the same time we also have to make sure that all users get what they pay for. We have a packet monitoring Linux box that logs the amount of data each IP address (client) sends and receives on our network. When a account exceeds 2gb/mth, the IP address is sent to sales. The sales person looks up the account, contacts the user about upgrading the account. We normally don't actually start charging the 2$/100mb unless the user has transferred 60-200% over the monthly quota. Since we have a 11mbps switched backbone (wireless 801.11b with fast gate switching and spanning tree) we have to make people aware that the simple fact is:
BANDWIDTH COSTS MONEY!!!! On several users, who do not desire to purchase additional bandwidth and who don't want to upgrade their account, after 2gb/mth we downgrade their speed to 256k, which is still faster than dial up but slow enough that they cant use up the network's bandwidth. Also, on our network, bandwidth can only be governed at the routers, the 802.11b equipment we have DOES do it, but it is a pain. The Software Development Team is supposed to fix this in the next rev....

We could really use these, we use complex access filters as it is to deliver QOS for the different protocols, but we still see problems on our network. Many of a time have I had to govern a user who was abusing a cheep residential account, trying to exceed the contractual bandwidth caps, trying to run a high load game server, ect. We try to be as flexible with the users as possible, we even host most light load and game servers on our server pod for free or nearly free for our customers. A smarter router that would allow us to be more flexible and cut our bandwidth up between our users would be great. I am wondering HOW much smarter, because QOS and ACLs tend to provide a high degree of control all ready.

It isn't hard to get a 20 mile point to point link. You can use an off the shelf Cisco BR342 or 352 AP and a 19 DBI antenna. The main problem is radio horizon, you will need to get both antennas off the ground about 50-75'
The systems we build do this sort of thing all the time. We are very careful to not violate the FCC radiated wattage limits, which is why it is important to use pre made plug and play if you are not a network professional with wLAN experience.
We get new toys in all the time. For example, we just got in a micro cellular system that has an effective range of 5 miles. It only cost $1499, and you can link multiple units together without wires to create a micro cellular network. The signal will get relayed till it gets to your servers.
