LTT is getting some interesting exposure!

[Bren0man]

So was browsing the interwebs, as one does, when I stumbled across this article from the Daily Mail in the UK (but the Australian sub-site): 

 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3459003/Now-S-wifi-booster-150-antenna-lets-share-network-25km-need-built-mast-it.html

 

Good to see LTT getting further exposure, as the DM surely have quite a large readership. I do wonder if they got in touch with LMG beforehand, or if they even are required to despite featuring Linus and his video so heavily? 

 

Anyway, nice one, LTT team!! 

 

PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I tried to put it in LTT section but was unable to do so.

Edit: Was testing for embedding in the thread, only now realise one can't delete posts. Either that or one is highly incompetent and can't figure out how...

I like how the top comment on the article is "it's illegal"

Sure it can do 25Km but only at 4x 16QAM (1/2) at best so it's not that fast at any reasonable distance. 

 

People should get a general basis of how something works before they make inaccurate claims in articles. 400Mbps at 25Km; both of those numbers are theoretical maxims that cannot coincide with each other.

Yes well, the Daily Mail is probably not the standard one should aspire to with regards to accuracy and general competence.

Hey, that DM article isn't half bad for their standard. I mean ok, all they did was making a transcript of the video, but at least they haven't screwed that up.

i think dude is confusing wireless standards, because 2.4GHz is *actually one of the hew signals* that is free to use by anyone, mostly because of microwaves
