"Researcher Ermanno Pietrosemoli has set what appears to be a new record for the longest communication link with Wi-Fi.

I would imagine they had a huge amp as well as 2 really good antennea's. I had a friend bring a 2 watt amp and a huge antennea over and we hooked them up to my orinoco card. Ive never seen so many wifi networks in kismet before.

I had a call at work one day:
