Now Wi-Fi will not be a short range communication link as a researcher has set up the world’s longest communication link via Wi-Fi. The researcher named, Ermanno Pietrosemoli, president of the Escuela Latinoamerica de Redes connected two computers one located in El Aguila and other in Platillon Mountain, Venezuela. That is a distance of more than 382 kilometers. To achieve this staggering communication link the researcher used a technology from Intel, which is offering its own long-range Wi-Fi equipment and he also used some off the shelf parts. Even at such a large distance the researcher achieved about 3 megabits per second in each direction, which is respectable by all means. Conventional Wi-Fi signals only go for a few meters, the reason for this is that the signals are sent in all directions, however if the signal is transmitted in a single direction then the range can be enhanced and that is what this researcher has done.
