Are we still talking about WiFi? The one with coverage limited in fractions of a kilometer? Achieving 20 km coverage radius (or even targeted coverage) sounds like a sisyphean task to me.


I dont know how they do it but the longest range wifi link is 382km[1]. And 10 km with good directional antennas is not that special, really.

Wow, that's actually kind of exciting (and disturbing!), even though the link is unstable. Thanks for the info.
