What is the Maximum Distance for a Point to Point wireless link?
The maximum distance for a standard 802.11b Point to Point (or Point to Multi-Point) path is approximately 12 miles. This is primarily due to timing issues in the 802.11b firmware. Other operating systems, such as KarlNet TurboCell, Orinoco COR or StarOS can overcome this limit and produce links up to 70 miles, depending upon terrain.
