Mike Outmesguine says,
Wireless vendors Trango and Microserv created a 137.2 mile ground-to-ground wireless link using "off-the-shelf" equipment from Trango. This distance bests the Defcon Wifi Shootout winners by 12.3 miles. People are crying foul, however, because (1) there were no independant observers to verify the distance and setup and (2) the equipment used is not 802.11b Wi-Fi – though it does use the unlicensed 2.5 and 5 Ghz spectrum. Still, that distance is impressive.

My fave /. comment = "Uhh, I'm pretty sure voyager 1 has the record for data transmission across a wireless link."
