The Italian Center for Radio Activities is the new worldwide record holder for WiFi signal distance at 5GHz hitting 189 miles.

The signal was transmitted from Sardinia Island to Central Italy using an XtremeRange5 miniPCI from Ubiquiti and 35dBi 5GHz parabolic dish antennas to boost the signal.

Listen up, America. Are you gonna let it go any farther? Let's get some WiFi records going in the States. We're good at landing on the moon... let's send a WiFi signal to the moon. We hear the Russians are working on that.

having wifi might cause some problems though... what about people that will use it for illegal things? dl music and movies isnt the only thing, you can threaten people and just have the wifi ip address to go off of...

still, yeah, i wish we had it for free at our airports here in chicago... you gotta pay 4 bucks or something like that for access.... pretty ridiculous.... the city needs it too...
