A working 6-node wide [[wireless ad hoc network]] spanning a distance of over 600 meters was achieved and the successful event was published in Mobile Computing Magazine in 1999. Various tests were performed with the network:
*[1] Transmission of up to 100MBytes of data from source to destination over 3-hop route.
