Long Distance Wi-Fi







Long Distance Wi-Fi

Long Distance Wi-Fi 08/09/2004 10:16 PM

Teens' wireless feat could be world record: Quite a feat took place at DefCon.

In the end, their 55-mile amplified connection exceeded last year's winner by 20 miles. Then they turned off their amplifiers and broke the record for an unamplified connection at the same distance.

While not yet confirmed, the connection appears to be a world record for a ground connection. The Guinness record for Wi-Fi connection is about 192 miles, achieved in 2002 by Swedish Wi-Fi equipment maker Alvarion and the Swedish Space. But that record was achieved using a Swedish weather balloon, which some experts say isn't comparable to a ground measurement because there are fewer obstacles to block a signal.

The Swedish team also used amplification in setting the mark, while the DefCon team maintained its connection even after turning off the amplification.

The Loneliness of the Long-Distance
Podcaster (Podcatcher?)

A few months ago I joined a loc al marathon training group, and every Saturday the group meets to do a long run. Due to other plans I had to miss the last long run, so I made up for it by running 10.5 miles by myself. Now, running that kind of distance with a group is fun, but doing it alone can be reeaallly boring. So, the night before the run I configured FeedDemon to download several podcasts and synch them with my iPod while I slept.

During the run I listened to snippets from these podcasts, which included Chris Pirillo's interviews with Tim Bray and Steve Gillmor, followed by the interview with Stewart Copeland and audio of the Web 2.0: Music is a Platform panel from IT Conversations.

Being able to listen to new podcasts helped me survive the run without dropping from boredom. I was even tempted to continue running so I could keep listening - but the next day's soreness made me thankful that I stopped when I did :)

Those Free AOL Minutes Don't Help When
You Rack Up $3,400 In Long Distance
04/19/2004 03:09 PM
A New Hampshire resident was upset that his AOL dialup kept kicking him offline, so he ran AOL's AutoFix program, which he said fixed the problem. He also says that the program (without him realizing it) changed the dialup phone number to a long distance toll number - something he only realized wh en a $3,400 phone bill arrived. AOL claims that it's not their problem, saying that the AutoFix program doesn't change the phone number, so that couldn't be the problem. However, now the New Hampshire Attorney General is stepping in to ask AOL to go to mediation to settle this issue - even though the actual bill is due to Verizon. It sounds like more details are needed, but now that the press is covering the story in a way that makes AOL look bad, expect them to change their tune and play nice.

Distance Doctoring, Distance Nursing And
Distance Learning... All Coming Back


Distance Doctoring, Distance Nursing And
Distance Learning... All Coming Back
05/12/2004 03:58 AM
The internet makes it easier to communicate with people over large distances, and for years we've been hearing about the power of "distance" everything. More recently, some of that talk had died down after the early promises of distance learning/doctoring/whatever failed to live up to its early hype. However, it appears that the distance concept is coming back into fashion. One after the other, we just came across three such stories. First, is the news of a hospital in Michigan that is using a robot with a video screen for a head to let remote doctors talk to and examine patients. The doctor's can control the robot from another location (such as home) in order to look over a patient without being there in person. Of course, the idea isn't to replace the need for the doctor to be present, but to make it easier in situations when the doctor is away and is needed quickly (such as to look over something in the middle of the night when they're home). Meanwhile, over in the Netherlands, it's not the doctors who get to stay home, but the patients, who can now use a webc am system to communicate with nurses. The idea is to help out the elderly who are confined to their homes but can't afford to have a healthcare worker visiting them on a regular basis. Meanwhile, outside of the healthcare field it appears that even e-learning is making a comeback, as companies are using it more strategically, to help keep employees up-to-date and trained - but not relying on it as a full replacement for training programs. No matter what, it looks like another bunch of concepts discredited during the boom and bust years are now making a comeback.

Long Distance Teleportation Could Lead

Long Distance Teleportation Could Lead
To Quantum Computing
08/22/2004 03:16 PM
Physicists have carried out successful teleportation with particles of light over a distance of 600m across the River Danube in Austria.

When physicists say "teleportation", they are describing the transfer of key properties from one particle to another without a physical link. Quantum teleportation relies on an aspect of physics known as "entanglement"; whereby the properties of two particles can be tied together even when they are far apart. Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance".

Long distance teleportation is crucial if dreams of superfast quantum computing are to be realised.

"The really interesting question for us was whether we could do this outside a lab setting, in the environment used for today's fibre-optic communications," co-author Rupert Ursin of the University of Vienna told BBC News Online. "This is very important if you are talking about investing money in quantum communication."

Quantum teleportation could be harnessed for fast, powerful computers or communication networks.
