I have a feature request for a new product Ubiquiti Networks should develop.
You should develop an indoor wifi broadband router(with dsl modem inside) that has a range of 62 miles(100km).
It should support adsl,adsl2+,vdsl.
It should have WPA2
Support 802.11a/b/g/n
Support Windows XP/Vista
How could the wifi broadband router have a range of 62miles(100km) ?
You could develop a new wireless technology where only an indoor 12dB antenna is needed. Maybe you could get the technology to work inside existing frequencies that tv and radio use, but make it not interfere with anything or reduce bandwidth.
For example, look at dsl broadband, you can use your phone and internet at the same time because broadband uses an unused frequency in the telephone line.
Lets take it point by point.
You should develop an indoor wifi broadband router(with dsl modem inside) that has a range of 62 miles(100km) Unless you can find a building thats 62 miles long, then its outdoor. Perhaps you mean a wifi radio that you can keep inside your house and have it connect to another wifi radio 62 miles away. I kinda sorta think that a 100 megawatt transmitter might be a tad expensive to keep running.
(with dsl modem inside)...It should support adsl,adsl2+,vdsl UBNT is in the biz of wireless. I don't think they want to take on a DSL product when DSL is waning.
It should have WPA2Its already supported.
Support 802.11a/b/g/n They might up grade one of their existing cards.
Support Windows XP/Vista Moot point...with the exception of their mobility cards, any external radio is OS agnostic.
You could develop a new wireless technology where only an indoor 12dB antenna is needed. Would it use gravitational waves?
For example, look at dsl broadband, you can use your phone and internet at the same time because broadband uses an unused frequency in the telephone line.Apples to oranges...not even comparable. That reminds me of a guy wanting me to connect his 40 watt car stereo to his CB radio..after all its an amplifier.
How could the wifi broadband router have a range of 62miles(100km) ?
With 30 dBi dish antennas mounted on masts at least 900 feet high.

really would that work? i thought all satellites need to transmit with a satellite in space? can 2 satellites work point to point without using a satellite in space?

dsl is still very popular. vdsl supports up to 100Mbps download and upload. Customers would like it if Ubiquiti Networks included dsl support because then they won't need a seperate dsl modem.

can 2 satellites work point to point without using a satellite in space? Yup..satellites can talk to each other without repeating off a ground station.
dsl is still very popular. vdsl supports up to 100Mbps download and upload. Customers would like it if Ubiquiti Networks included dsl support because then they won't need a seperate dsl modem. Telcos are selling off their copper. They are also foregoing any new DSL deployments and waiting for fiber. DSL is still popular for the users, but not the telcos. Anyway, the telcos usually provide a free DSL modem.
100Mbps download and upload. ??????? I think you'll find dreams of providing 100 Mbps out to 12,000 feet won't come true. Remember ten years ago when DSL was hyped for out to 18,000 feet? Now telcos won't certify you for even 512 Kbps past 12,000 ft (typically).
Face palm, Shakes head. Like seriously OP!

I found with a 18 dbi (180oc) wave guide 500mw AP @ 71meters height with a 32 db grid 250mw @ 20meters I have achieved 81km over water.
