    45-Mile 'Wi-Fi'

    The technology, called Ultra-Link Processing, transfers data at a very low rate compared with a home broadband connection. But On-Ramp intends to offer it as a way to enable "smart energy" grids, in which simple sensors installed in home energy meters, for example, report local activity back to utilities, allowing them to manage power generation and distribution more intelligently.
    An important note:
    On-Ramp's technology can send a signal 45 miles. He is targeting devices that use less than 50 bits per second, roughly 100,000 times less than the average U.S. broadband speed of five megabits per second.
    So this probably won't directly affect anyone but though it was cool.

    Seems to be good . But terrible speed I think . Better than never . Thanks for the info .
    I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it.
