LANdroids take WiFi to the Battlefield

We're all familiar with how unreliable our WiFi connections are in our homes. Now imagine what it's like in an urban warfare environment. In order to address the problem, DARPA has proposed LANdroids: Small, cheap and expendable WiFi bots that will offer a reliable, self-configuring, self-healing network on the battlefield. The droids don't actually exist yet, but DARPA is offering $1,000,000 for a 12 month contract to develop them. [More Info PDF] (Via)
