Long range WiFi router
Posted on Feb 1, 07 05:40 PM PDT
Those who find that their current WiFi router does not come with a wide enough area of coverage should take a look at Etri's new wireless products. The Etri Access Point is capable of blanketing an area within a 100km radius with WiFi connectivity, while the router sports a maximum data transmission speed of 270Mbps. This is only available in Korea, so the rest of the world will have to play catch up. Etri has made sure that the security in both products are more tightly locked down in order to give you a greater peace of mind while exchanging data back and forth. There is not word on pricing.

How can this be? According to a conversion chart 100 kilometers is 62.1 miles!

We all know the EARTH is FLAT, and assuming it is FLAT and is in Line of Sight, most Routers with 3rd part firmware can communicate at such distances.

cellular phones repeaters are at no more than 30 miles from each other. Why? The curvature of the earth comes into play; out on the ocean the max distance you can see is 15 miles. LOS Antenna, and high power alone would not send you to 100km. Do you realize how far that is. Triangulating would require a mast about the height of the empire state building. I am skepticle.

Really work that far ?
For 25 KMs wide coverages I'm using 15 unit's point to coverage it, so all my clients connected using their Laptops via wifi

i don't think it'll be safe to keep it near yourself then. 100km makes for very high powered transmission =/

are you ure you know who ETRI is?
It is a Korean Institute and I highly doubt they will be selling direct to consumers.
I would also suspect the the use of the word "WiFi" here is not to describe IEEE 802.11 of any flavor.
Probably something closer to IEEE 802.16, but they call it WiBro in Korea
