We did it.

124.9 miles is the official record.

Many thanks go out to Redwire LLC and iFiber.

As well as ICOM, HTT Insurance, RF Linx, and SECO

and our family and friends, we could not have done it without the generosity of these people.



The record was set from Mt. Potosi 22 miles south of Las Vegas NV to Utah Hill just inside Utah on the Utah/Arizona border.

An un-amplified connection at 11 Mbps was attained and kept up for 3 hours. During this time 11,000 successful pings were made. Both ends of the link were using SSH and logged into the other end. VNC was also used successfully WITHOUT frames being dropped. Ping times varied from 0.01 ms to 400 ms, seeming to average around 10 ms. The connection had an astounding signal strength of -37 dBm, bottoming out at around -50 dBm throughout the 3 hours. The noise levels were around -84 dBm

We also used an amplifier provided by RFLINX on the Utah end (the base station end had FAA 2.4 ghz communications so we chose to keep our ERP low on that end) When the amp was used the signal strength bumped up to -18 dBm at 124.9 miles! This rock solid connection is an amazing tribute to the awesome engineering that RFLINX puts into their products. If you want to make a connection like ours without all of the hard work, contact RFLINX and they can get you set up with everything you need.

We will have more technical details and plans on how to build the stuff we made will come up on this site in the next few days.
