They use directional hi-gain antennas. I saw an article once about how to make one using a Pringles can. My brother made a set once to extend the range of his home network. In essence, a wireless bridge. Many metropolitan area networks (MANs) use them. Myself, I use commercial 802.11g wireless with 64/128 WEP encryption. Ain't about to be hacked.

10 miles? As if.... Yeah, on it's best day, under extreme ideal condition, my wardriving rig can suck in from maybe 1 to 1 and a half klick. but not from a home wifi device. Usually a big office building or university system. I gotta get real close, practically in their driveway to use their router.
