Posted on | March 25, 2008 | No Comments
Nice link from Ewan – Intel have found a way to stretch a wi-fi signal some 60 miles. They have already tested the technology in India, Panama, Vietnam, and South Africa. The abiity to connect sparsely populated rural areas with nearby urban areas could have important implications for parts of the world that would otherwise be difficult to bring into the connected ‘fold’.
And, at around 6.5mb throughput, the system is good enough to support video conferencing and telemedicine.
