Hi there,
I am new at this community and my English isn't at its highest level but I think it is interesting to open a topic about long range wireless communications.
Imagine you need to communicate over more than 5Km without wires, what would be your solution? It doesn't need to be something new or something difficult the idea is to gather some solutions already on the market and discuss some new possibilities. Any scenario is possible!!
To start this topic my idea for a wide sensor network without wires is using these nice things: http://www.libelium.com/products/waspmote
I still didn't test this equipment but they say they cover 12km with LOS I will post something more when I get to test them.
Remember any type of wireless communications are on the table, for any type of data!!!
