Agreed. Substantially better. Our first goTenna prototypes worked at 900 MHz band and we could barely get 0.5 km (NOT MILES) line of sight. With the goTennas that are now out for pre-order, we've gotten anywhere from 0.5 miles to 3.5 miles in NYC (where we're based), to give you an idea -- and there's little that is as non-ideal for RF propagation than a metropolitan city.
