XBee 900 XCS Sends Data Wirelessly For 15 Miles

For those who are looking at sending data to a dedicated private network over a long distance but do not want to run wires have another alternative – the diminutive XBee 900 XCS and XBee 900. Despite being that small, they are able to transfer data for up to 15 miles as long as you have line-of-sight connection. Both wireless modules will play nice with the 900MHz ISM band, hence making allowance for data to be transferred within a 15 mile radius. sounds pretty neat until you take into consideration the super slow speed of 9.6kbps. What do you think of setting up a network with these?
