While an ordinary WiFi signal “can carry a few hundred feet”, Intel is testing a system “that lets WiFi signals of at least 60 miles.  The idea of “WiMAX isnt new, however, what is new is deploying “vanilla WiFi out to more people without breaking any laws or relying on expensive hardware upgrades.”

Unfortunately, Intel will only be rolling this new technology out to countries considered to be “emerging markets” rather than “the US or UK since the “$700-$800

The system supposedly relies on "modified software" running on regular WiFi equipment, and wireless access points with the newfangled software can seemingly daisy-chain directional network traffic through "several carefully aligned steerable antennas in order to eventually reach a fiber link connected to the internet."
