[chbot] Long distance data link, advice from the guru's please

[Richard Jones]

Tait Radio Communications spun off a company called MimoMax that
specialises in data links: http://mimomax.com/ This kit is completely
licensable and uses diversity to achieve almost unbelievable bandwidth
over a narrow band. This kit probably does not achieve 110km, but you
could ask them.

The best I've managed with Wifi type technology requiring no license
is about 4km.

I suspect when you discover cheap broadband link that does 110km you
will be able to give up your day job :-)

Best of luck with the visit.
