When you think of WiFi you think at most, of stone throw coverage. Stand somewhere, throw a stone and that´s how far your wifi signal will get. Now with a new technology based on electrically guided focused WiFi beams, Intel has come up with a way for you (or us at Fon) to throw stones….100kms! And we were so excited at Fon because next week we are introducing the Fontennas and increasing the range of the Foneras 10 times. Well, c´est la vie, there´s always somebody with something longer around…

Last year’s Blackhat conference in Vegas, someone had developed a Bluetooth gun good for 10km as well.
