A success! We established today the Polish record for the length of the Wi-Fi connection at 5 GHz, 250 km distance achieved! Because college students from Wrocław break stereotypes and make things happen.

This students group consists of students studying engineering, masters and doctoral degrees from the Technical University of Worclaw. Their field of interest includes group networking, mobile telecommunications, and the cutting-edge latest telecommunications systems.
