intel wi-fi up distances to 100 km

In summer intel company plans to conduct tests of new equipment, witch allow to use the transmission data on Wi-Fi up to distances of 100 km , project is the part of intel program in the developing countries.
The basic purpose of project is the creation of firmware complex for connection in some villages with centers countries. In this case the use of the existing means for creating the radio channels does not be suitable for two reasons. First, the antennas of two points of connection must be directed toward each other with the sufficiently high accuracy, and any serious temperature differential or wind gust can displace antenna and thus destroy connection. Hardly in the small village in the jungle of start specialist, capable of restoring tuning. In the second place, the price of one radio tower for directed wi-Fi will be 700-800 dollars, while for the same wiMax - to 20 thousand dollars.

The antenna, developed Intel together with Aleksey Umnov from Nizhniy-Novgorod state university, are plate on which is placed matrix from mini- antennas, and in the center - emitter and receiver. Its key advantage - automatic tuning of communication channel without the need for the turning of antenna. Furthermore, this antenna promises to be inexpensive with mass production. The program part wi-Fi for the project was substantially changed. This touched, for example, the procedure of handshake between the node of network and wireless , and also the detection of collisions.

It is obvious that if the project undergoes development, then long-range Wi-Fi will move in the developing countries hand to hand from WiMax. For example, in Pakistan precisely on last technology make rates investors.
