This article runs uder the mis apprehension that wifi or 802.11 can only run on short ranges.
This is patently not the case.
Traditionally, in wireless communication systems, including television, radio, mobile phone etc. the transmission power has been set so that the service will work even if the antennas are relatively ineffectual. Likewise the 802.11 standard similarly assumed a low effectiveness for the antennas.
As a result of the power limitations of 802.11 a number of antenna designers have started to think effectiveness instead of transmitter power.
For instance we at A-Antenna Ltd have an omni-directional antenna designed for base station use which has been operating a link in excess of 10km for over 2 years.
If you would like further details of this antenna and similar client adaptors with seriously enhanced range then please call on 07736 258 580.
