200km WiFi Connection

Team iFibre Redwire smashed the WiFi distance record, successfully linking a distance of over 200km at this year’s DefCon WiFi Shootout. They maintained a full 11Mbit unamplified connection for 3 hours using Z-com 300mw PCMCIA cards, surplus satellite dishes, Linux, and a great deal of hacker ingenuity. They’ve said that they expect this rig would work at distances of over 480km
