Wireless Internet as Defense Tool

[ICantSpellDawg]

radio waves are one-directional, you have a powerful sender and the receiver is entirely passive, it gets the full load of info and just picks the channel it wants, the internet has no channel, contact is usually established by the user, whose device has to request the info from the server the website is on, that means the iranian or whoever would have to send data to the ship, no normal WLAN device can send data over hundreds of miles/kilometers, they would never get a connection...

Cellphone networks have more range afaik but like I said they can heat up your ear by about a degree Celsius already, given that you fed them more energy and could extend their range far enough to cover a few hundred kilometers, they might heat up your entire body by a few degrees if you were close so that doesn't sound very helpful to me either, and that's ignoring the heavily increased energy needs in the first place.

But that's generally the problem, the end user device has to send all sorts of data, requests, answers etc. to your ship in order to use the internet so the ship would have to handle hundreds, thousands or even millions of connections and all these devices would need strong enough signals to send data to the ship.

Might work with certain wavelengths and specially designed devices for people living near the coast but then you'd have to import those specially designed devices first etc. etc.

The "One laptop per child" program had a wireless matrix that worked. The more users the faster it would work - all while eventually sending information back through a main wireless hub. With enough users the web would go full circle, no longer going through only one hub, but more as the network expanded to reach them.

A few years ago most people couldn't even conceptualize WiFi. With newer systems individuals are going to connect to the global web through one another with each system acting as a little hub itself within a mesh network.

This plan will not only spread words, but economic ideas, helping to build 3rd world networks over time. These technologies can be used in cellphones, laptops or desktops. Are you familiar with mesh networks?
