I am glad my Terabeam comments got some discussion going. I got much more educated on laser "last mile" stuff this weekend just by poking around the web. Here is a neat site showing already existing equipment that works over 9 miles. Here's a comment from that site: Both the Magnum and SupraConnect high-speed laser-communication systems are designed to communicate through moderate fog and rain. During tests at our 4 km and 7.3 km test ranges, we routinely communicate through fog and rain that prevent us from seeing the other end of the link with the unaided eye or with a viewing scope. lsainc.com The site was educational. Those interested could poke around here and have some fun. Unfortunately, these guys aren't public (or else I'd look for a play on Monday).
