呵呵, 比较喜欢这种探索精神. 这伙人利用卫星天线, 在两座大山之间建立了稳定的WIFI连接, 距离是124.9miles, 去年他们的记录是55miles (今年打破记录的设备是去年的奖品, 10ft和12ft的卫星锅:). 启动的时候他们利用了3W的amp(电吉他)和300mw的Wifi卡 (不明白怎么搞的), 然后接入笔记本电脑, 建立11Mb的连接后关闭amp, 链接仍然稳定.

这伙人下一步的目标是用卫星锅搜索蓝牙设备, just so cool!

Four Ohio college students set the record for the world’s longest unamplified WiFi link at last week’s Defcon event (or “shootout,” as the participants call it) in Las Vegas. The students, calling themselves Team iFiber/Redwire, combined very large satellite dishes with donated electronic equipment into a powerful system. Atop a 6,200-ft. mountain 22 miles southwest of Las Vegas, they were able to establish a stable wireless connection to a mountain in Utah 124.9 miles away. In last year’s event, the same team, using large surplus satellite dishes, established a 55-mile unamplified link. This year they fell just short of their promise to deliver a 150-mile or more connection.

…

The team is now planning to use the dishes to scan for Bluetooth devices.
