| Philadelphia citywide WiFi officially shut down | | 2008-05-13 15:29:00 | | Filed under: Wireless
We knew it was coming, but Philadelphia's citywide WiFi is now officially being turned off, and Earthlink is planning on pulling down all of its access points. Like basically every other municipal WiFi project, it seems like the cost of keeping the system going outweighed the benefits, and Earthlink couldn't find a buyer willing to take things over. Current Earthlink customers will get 30 more days of service, until June 12, and then it's lights bytes out. Here's hoping Philly coffee shops are ready for an influx of urban warriors.[Via Philebrity, thanks Andy R.]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

| | Los autobuses de Madrid incorporarán WiFi | | 2008-04-11 10:22:00 | | La Empresa Municipal de Transporte (EMT) de Madrid está enfrascada en una iniciativa que debería tomarse como ejemplo para el resto de empresas de transporte de cada municipio. Se trata del Plan Estratétigo tecnológico 2008-2011 en el cual a lo largo de tres años, que coincide justo con el fin de la presente legislatura del Ayuntamiento de Madrid, irán introduciendo toda una serie de mejoras tecnológicas a la enorme plantilla de autobuses regulada por la EMT. Primero fue la acertada idea de adaptar los vehículos de transporte para que usaran combustible ecológico contribuyendo de esta forma a disminuir la emanación de dióxidos a la atmósfera a la vez que se consigue unas calles más limpias de humos ya que los que vivimos en una ciudad sabemos muy bien que los autobuses que aún usan combustible estándar dejan mucha porquería en el aire aparte de soltar un pestazo que echa patrás.El movimiento de ahora por parte de la EMT es implantar un sistema WiFi en su flota de autob | | By: Nautilus Loft | | |

| | Chrysler : WiFi car | | 2008-03-31 21:43:00 | | Chrysler: Wi-Fi Car This Year Posted by Sam Churchill on March 27th, 2008 Chrysler says it will be the first auto manufacturer to provide in-car internet access—and plan to offer a system by the end of this year. Frank Klegon, Chrysler’s product development chief noted: “we want to make the radio itself a WiFi port.” In order for the service to work, it would have to utilize a broadband connection from cellphone towers. Chrysler will initiate the effort by offering an off-road navigation system for its Jeep Wrangler. Chrysler will be forced to pick one cellular carrier for the backhaul, although which one isn’t certain. Chrysler earlier said it is working aggressively to develop an advanced, in-vehicle wireless communications systems that go beyond current systems. Chrysler envisions future GPS systems with satellite imagery downloaded from the Internet as well as automatic wireless map updates, real time weather information.

| | Nokia Perkenalkan Ponsel WiFi Nokia 6300i | | 2008-03-29 09:36:00 | | Nokia rupanya ingin mengulang kembali kesuksesan ponsel Nokia 6300 yang telah beredar semenjak tahun lalu, dengan meluncurkan versi Nokia 6300i, yang memiliki spesifikasi kurang lebih sama dengan Nokia 6300 yang orisinil, tentunya dengan tambahan fitur WiFi dan VoIP.Nokia 6300i memiliki layar berukuran 2 inci, 240 x 320 piksel, kamera 2MP sekaligus video recorder. Sayangnya belum memiliki akses 3G, padahal banyak konsumen mendambakan fitur tersebut di ponsel yang juga memiliki fitur radio FM ini. Multimedia Player, Web Browser dan Email Client serta kapasitas kartu memori hingga 4GB menjadi daya tarik tersendiri bagi peminat ponsel GSM Triband ini. Aplikasi Nokia Maps juga terinstall disini lho meski 6300i tidak mempunya fitur GPS. Pihak Nokia mengatakan bahwa ponsel tersebut akan diluncurkan sekitar kuartal kedua tahun 2008. | | By: aplikasi ponsel download | | |

| | Mac OS X 10.5.2 UpdaTe WiFi Problems | | 2008-03-26 22:26:26 | | Mac notebooks cannot seem to maintain a wifi connection after being installed the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Update. The problem was mentioned to persist by some users even though the wireless signal icon remains full. Users of both Tiger & Leopard Mac operating systems seem to be experiencing the same problem. One could sit only 5 feet away from the wireless router & still there would be a problem. It’s a major issue to be solved by Apple because wifi is a very important function especially for the notebook users. | | By: internet executive log | | |

| | Uso eficiente de WIFI en GNU/linux y el Trafico Vehicular | | 2008-02-21 19:28:00 | | revizando por ahi me encontre con esta noticia interesante.Investigadores del MIT han desarrollado un equipo llamado CarTel, que busca reducir la congestión del tráfico. Cuenta con un módulo GPS, y un módulo wifi “oportunistaâ€, el cual aprovecha las conexiones wifi para actualizar el programa de análisis de tráfico. Lo mejor de todo es que usa Linux. La parte interesante es que este dispositivo (Que se parece a un router inalámbrico en aspecto) hace uso de una filosofÃa distribuida para analizar la situación del tráfico a cada minuto y recomendar la mejor ruta para transitar. Es parecido al DashExpress, pero a diferencia de este no incluye pantalla o conectividad GSM, lo que nos indica que es un equipo que busca ser menos costoso tanto en su fabricación como en su uso. Y para culminar usa Google Maps, en el que muestra las saturaciones cerca del automóvil. | | By: Tips de Ubuntu - Linux y softtware libre | | |

| | WiFi to hit BART? | | 2008-02-03 03:15:00 | | I thought this article was pretty interesting. Makes me wonder why though, since the shortness of most trips and potential disruptions make such a service questionable.Merely hours after hearing that a contactless payment trial was going live on San Francisco's BART, along comes word that a test of a slightly different nature was also underway on the very same public transportation system. Reportedly, a recent Wi-Fi Rail installation on a select stretch of track proved that WiFi could be delivered to passengers at around 15Mbps -- up and down -- and if things go smoothly, the firm hopes to get its technology onto all sorts of rail systems across the globe. Unfortunately, there doesn't look to be any firm plans for the trial to stick on BART, but who knows, keep on refreshing that nearby network list on the morning commute and you might just get lucky.

| | Prueban un sistema de navegación para peatones que no usa satélites sino WiFi | | 2008-01-14 18:14:00 | | Nuremberg es desde hoy la primera ciudad alemana con un sistema de navegación diseñado exclusivamente para peatones, un proyecto piloto del Instituto Fraunhofer que pretende facilitar la orientación en terreno desconocido.A diferencia de los sistemas de navegación utilizados en los automóviles, el proyecto de Nuremberg no utiliza el mecanismo de satélite GPS, sino que se alimenta de la transmisión de datos por red local inalámbrica, conocida en el mundo informático como WLAN, por sus siglas en inglés.Este sistema se usa sobre todo para el acceso a internet con ordenadores portátiles, y permite utilizar como aparatos de navegación los teléfonos móviles de última generación o las agendas electrónicas. La principal ventaja frente al GPS, consiste, según el instituto, en que el WLAN es mucho más preciso a la hora de dirigir al peatón por calles angostas, edificios o estaciones de metro."Lo que hacemos es aprovechar que las ciudades están tan bien equipadas con redes WL | | By: La Fabrica Web | | |
| | WiFi Chipset | | 2008-01-14 13:03:00 | | Boingo + Broadcom = World Phone Posted by samc on January 9th, 2008 Chip maker Broadcom said Tuesday it plans to integrate software from Wi-Fi access provider Boingo Wireless into its Wi-Fi phone chipset. The software automatically scans for wireless hot spots and connects users to private and commercial networks , including those part of Boingo’s roaming network. The integration of Boingo Wi-Fi software into the Broadcom Wi-Fi phone platform enables global access to public Wi-Fi networks in addition to their private networks at the office and at home. The Broadcom and Boingo partnership may be especially important for voice over IP (VoIP), says the company Santa Monica-based Boingo, started by EarthLink founder Sky Dayton, also provides Wi-Fi access to computer users and Internet service providers. Boingo claims to be the world’s largest network of Wi-Fi hotspots with some 100,000 access points. Access to the North American Boingo network typically costs $21.95 per month. Boingo pays hotspot operator partners a wholesale fee, typically between $1.00 and $2.00 per connect day (up to 24 hours for one user in one location). Boingo provides its carrier & ISP partners with marketing, customer support, and billing costs. T-Mobile today become the first UK operator to offer “free” Wi-Fi access as part of a mobile broadband price plan. All new customers that sign up to the Web’n'walk mobile internet service will now be able to use all T-Mobile Wi-Fi HotSpots at no extra charge. This means that for an additional £12.50 per month, on top of any Flext price plan, T-Mobile customers will now have access to both a 3G network nationwide, and what T-Mobile claims is the world’s largest Wi-Fi network with more than 39,000 Wi-Fi HotSpots across the globe, including the Starbucks chain of coffee shops, airports and some rail services.

"IT business Good" I think information below would be support my opinion.Other information which support is telecommunication Industry wide open for development.So in my conclusion is Indonesia the real a Potential Market for Information and telecommunication Technology.The Jakarta Post, MalangModern telecommunications thanks to fiber-optic networks would see some 40,000 villages nationally enjoy telephone and Internet connections, but only if the government's tender is answered.Information and communication minister Muhammad Nuh said Monday the government would open for tender the ambitious project in Surabaya, East Java on November 10.He said the project would link the entire archipelago via a fiber-optic network, to be known as the Palapa Ring Project.The government said it would also set up WiFi infrastructure in each mayoralty and regency using free hotspots in main fields to provide Internet access.He said the work would start in the eastern part of the country, where telecommunications is severely deficient.The development of the network in the western part of the archipelago would be subject to further discussion given there is an existing albeit poor network there, Muhammad said."The fiber-optic network will use cables set up both undersea and underground and will link all parts of the country," he said.The project is part of the government's plan to develop information-based communities in the country. "We're using fiber-optic because it will be too costly to use satellite and its services cannot match fiber-optic," he said.The Palapa Ring project, first initiated in January 2005 during the first Indonesia Infrastructure Summit, is part of the government's plan to increase telecommunications penetration in the country, which currently stands at 20 percent.The project involves the construction of a fiber-optic | | By: Indonesia Type Approval/homologation/Compliance ce | | |

| | Archos 605 WiFi - The Best Wireless Portable Media Player | | 2007-12-26 04:31:00 | | With top-notch video resolution, incredible viewing angles, and integrated support for wireless movie downloads, the Archos 605 WiFi is the best of its breed. The Archos 605 WiFi lets you wirelessly download movies, TV shows, and (soon) music on the spot, as well as stream the latest YouTube videos. However, the number of content providers is slim at the moment, and some of the most compelling features (most notably, the Web browser) cost extra.The Archos 605's screen is big enough to do video justice, yet small and thin enough to comfortably fit in your pants pocket. The recessed 4.3-inch TFT LCD screen is not only bright, colorful, and glare-resistant, but it displays at a resolution of 800x480, making it one of the highest-resolution PVPs on the market. Plus, the screen valiantly resists smudges despite its dual-duty as a touch screen. It also has a built-in kickstand and an internal speaker really put this player over the top.There are a few disappointments: The battery is non removable and its life is only average. Many users will need to shell out extra for software and hardware accessories they'll wish were included.The Archos 605 WiFi is one of the most impressive portable video players we've seen all year and its low price tag makes it very hard to resist. You may end up spending another $100 or more on extra features and accessories, but 605's ability to take the sting out of road trips and air travel should make the investment all worthwhile.Specifications:Device Type: Digital AV playerPC Interfaces: Hi-Speed USB, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11gDisplay Type: TFT 4.3 in - ColorMemory / Storage: HDD Capacity 160 GBSupported Still Images Formats: BMP, PNG, JPEGSupported audio formats: MP3, PCM, WAV, WMA, ADPCM, Protected WMA (DRM)Video Playback Formats: WMV, MPEG-4, Protected WMV (DRM) Connections: Headphones - Mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm, Hi-Speed USB, Audio / video output Battery: Internal, RechargeableFirmware Upgradable: YesIncluded Accessories: USB cable, C | | By: Fresh Gadget Reviews | | |

I can always hook my Dopod D810 and use it as a modem to browse anywhere I want, however there are times when I'm lucky enough to find a free Wifi connection so here's my list.1. Araneta Center My favorite place to hang out is Araneta Center specially Gateway Mall. They have free Wifi access on every floor though during the past days that I'm there, their wifi connection seems to be always down. 2. Robinson's Malls The Taste Buds area in all Robinson's mall offers free Wifi connection though a bit slow but still great for browsing. Also, the newly opened Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Midtown Center has a free Wifi connection, I checked the connection and the name is "globe", I don't know how long its gonna be free so I'm hanging out there during lunch time as much as I can.

| | Android Based Game: WiFi Army | | 2007-12-20 11:53:32 | | Imagine walking through the mall and your phone vibrates indicating you have a new message. Looking at the screen, it says something along the lines of "Here is your target, take him out." You have come within 300 feet of your opponent. Should you find your target, you will then engage them in a game of 'war.' This is exactly the scenario you are likely to find with WiFi Army. Props to Ubergizmo today for making us aware that such a game has come to fruition for Android. This could be a cool GPS-based game. Think of the possibilities! A central server with 'agent profiles' stored. You can also be alerted if you are compromised and in the vicinity of another agent. Assign each guy a code number that you can either SMS or email to let your enemy know you've spotted him. Upload a photo of the guy before he gets you. Do citywide and nationwide rankings. Perfect for all the guys who still want to play 'spy.'Currently, each city is listed with a maximum of 500 participants | | By: AndroidGuys | | |
| | Intel Creating WiMAX, WiFi, DVB-H All-in-One Chip | | 2007-12-13 11:27:14 | | Intel, one of the founding members of the Open Handset Alliance, has developed a test chip that ties in three very cool technologies into one. Imagine being able to use WiFi at home and having your phone automatically switch over to WiMAX for you when you leave the house or office. On top of that, you're able to watch digital video broadcasts all the while. Pretty swift stuff! "There is a shift from people wanting their content any time, anywhere to any device, any network, and the problem is there are too many radios,” said Jeff Hoffman, system architect for the wireless communications lab.

(From, opening your laptop to being able to pick an airport.) I covered how to solve this problem (somewhat) in Tiger. So, for leopard users (and slightly Tiger users) here's how to speed up your wifi connecting.Step 1: Go to System Preferences>Network.Step 2: Select the "AirPort" tab.Step 3: There are two things you can do now. First, you can select the checkbox next to "Ask to Join New Networks". Secondly, you can make your airport your default device.Step 4 (Leopard): To make your airport the default device, click on utility button (to the right of the + and - buttons) and select "Set Service Order..." from the contextual menu.Step 4 (Tiger): To make your airport the default device, click on the "Show" menu and select the "Network Port Configurations" option.Step 5: Now, drag AirPort to the top of the menu.

| | Very Cool Wifi Sites! | | 2007-09-12 14:39:00 | | No doubt you have heard of Wifi, and have learned not to confuse it with Wii from Nintendo. Chances are, you use Wifi and have seen it go through it's changes and improvements to become what it is today. If you need more information on what it is, you should probably visit this link.The point of this article is to introduce you to the newest WiFi related websites and Web 2.0 technologies. You'll quickly learn that Wifi isn't the estranged wireless protocol that it used to be!(thank you to killerstartups.com for these!) As WiFi locations continue to sprout up, people become more and more mobile with their computers with the added internet connection availability. Whisher makes WiFi even more available and adds a community feel to it. Once you have downloaded Whisher, you are able to share your WiFi with others in your area, or use the WiFi of a fellow Whisher for free. You can easily see the available WiFi connections on the Whisher module and see some information about the person sharing that spot. Now you can actually communicate with the people in your WiFi area. Those Whishers appear in your list of contacts that you can chat with, as well as the usernames of your friends from AIM, MSN, GTalk, Twitter, Yahoo, ICQ, and Jabber. You can also share files with anyone on your list and do group chats, no matter which network your contacts are a part of. Another cool feature is the availability of information based on your location. You can find out about restaurants, events, shops, and people that are around where you are hooking into the internet. You can also check out where your friends are to see if they’re close by to go enjoy one of those spots you’ve just learned about from your location information. This is making WiFi more social, global, and free than ever before. JiWire.com offers advertising to people logging on to use WiFi at particular locations. For example, if a person wishes to visit a WiFi enabled cafe to catch up on some of their work, they would be presented with advertisements before they are able to access the internet. JiWire advertising targets mainly affluent business people and travelers. This of course would include the cooperation of the owners of the WiFi connection, who would take part in the profits as well. Travelers and laptop lovers, meet Hotspotr.com. Hotspotr.com meet your biggest fans. How many times have you had to roam a city just to find that WiFi sticker on the window? Did you get stuck in the rain on this journey and get your laptop soaked? Did you give up and pay to use a dinky Internet café computer? If you answered yes to any of these then go to hotspotr.com and just search the city you are in. There are 1663 cities on the site, mostly in the USA but many from around the world, and 5970 posted cafes with WiFi. To find a café with Internet just fill in the search space with the city, address, or café name and view the information. Each café should have information filled out on wireless, food, hours and a bit of other info if the poster so chooses. Users can post reviews and comments about cafes and share yummy items from the menu. WiFi cafes and hotspots are added by all users creating a community vibe that site visitors can trust. New cafes and cities are welcomed! Updates and café searches can also be done using a mobile phone. Not afraid to be ambitious, HotSpot Haven wants to help you find WiFi anywhere in the world. It is a searchable database of wireless locations where you enter a city or zip code, the service provider name, and/or enter that you want a free wireless network spot. Hopefully, the site will then find you a location meeting your preferences. They also encourage you to go to the location and write a review so people know whether they should go. Unfortunately, I did not have great success with some of the international cities I entered, and even inputting a zip code in San Diego came up with zero search results. When I then just entered the entire city of San Diego, I did get results, but the results were extremely limited despite my personal knowledge of dozens and dozens of locations. Do you live in Portland, Oregon and desire to find a WiFi spot other than Starbucks (where in most cities they charge for their service)?? WifiPDX gives you a wifi map of wifi hotspots in addition to a listing of places with Wifi. The hot spot list is cool, as a location is categorized by a specific business with wifi or by a general area -- either way, they list out the top 5 closest wifi locations within that vicinity. You can also input a Portland address or intersection to see where the closest WiFi is. And that is not all....many of the locations listed have user reviews....so you can get a sense of the vibe, cost, crowd, offerings, etc. Finally, they offer a text messaging service that allows you to ask WifiPDX to send you the nearest wifi spot you input -- for the cost of a regular text. Whether you’re Australia bound or if you reside in the Great Down Under, you’ll certainly want to check out FreeWifi.com.au to aid you in your wifi prospecting. The site includes all types of wifi spots, including, restaurants, beaches, parks, caravans, libraries, shopping centers, hotels, and much more. Each listing is accompanied by a short description and contact details. Places which require users to pay are clearly denoted in the listing. The site also comes with a free, downloadable guide explaining how to connect to free wifi, if you need extra help. To add your own listing, you’ll need to put down $250 (good for one year). New York, with its quaint tagline ‘the city that never sleeps’ is unsurprisingly filled with coffee shops; the people need something to keep them going after all. Yes there are Starbuck’s on seemingly every corner, and yes Starbuck’s has wifi and biscotti, but in such a large metropolis there’s got to be something better. Cup of NYC was set up precisely for finding the best cafes and coffee shops in the Big Apple. Not only do they intend to ferret out the best coffee in the city, they also want to find those uber cool places that are simply perfect for hanging out with the pals a la Seinfeld or Friends. Reviews include drink ratings, contact info, maps, and opening hours, along with extra features, e.g. wifi and pastries. You can also search for places by features and best drinks. Sign up today to submit your own reviews. Ever wish you had a list of all the WiFi spots in your neighborhood? Now you do. At OpenWifiSpots.com you can search for nearby free internet locations, the only irony is, the time you probably need to use the site the most, you wont be able to access the internet. So using the site will consist of a little bit of prior planning. The site claims to have the locations of 24,434 free WiFi locations in the US and continuing to add. I know they definitely have a bit more info to add, for instance, the site shows 58 WiFi locations in Las Vegas and I know that there are quite a bit more than that. But with time and with users adding to the content the site will defintitely catch up and become more and more useful with time. WeFi makes WiFi easy. Everyone gets frustrated trying to find a good WiFi signal when away from the home or office. WeFi makes this process easy and a social experience. WeFi auto-connect feature makes sure you are always connected to the best signal around, and as you move will make sure your connection remains strong. This is obviously important if you would like to enjoy your youTube or Pandora experience on the go. On the social side, WeFi members map various locations with WiFi, focusing on spots that are free. With each mapped site, a spot is created, which is basically a hub for information about that cafe or location. You can say what is going on there, maybe advertise for your spot, or even add flickr photos to show other WeFi members what the spot looks like. WeFi lets you check out Google maps to find the WiFi connections near you, as well as to locate other WeFi members within a city block or even at a distance. You will eventually be able to add friends and specify to only see where they are on the WeFi map, and eventually you will be able to see local reviews, events, and other users experience of the WiFi and spots that are near you. So dont just search for the nearest WiFi community next time you need to connect to the internet, but actually join and participate in that community and see whats going on. Do your neighbors steal your wi-fi? Want them to pay? Well now you can with Wifitastic, the perfect solution for wi-fi banditry and wi-fi exploits. The idea behind this service is that you can generate some money from your broadband connection by setting up a hotspot. Homeowners can charge their neighbors at a fixed rate—monthly, hourly or daily access, fees are up to you. Wifitastic will pay you 60% of what people pay to connect. All you need to set up your own hot spot is a specially configured router (a Linksys WRT54g model to be exact) which you can purchase from the site for a modicum $79.95. The rest is a piece of cake; your computer only needs to be on for installation. It is just like any other wireless setup except you get some cash out of it. The solution to hard to find internet connections is here! FON.com has made WiFi easier, more useful, and cheaper than ever. The concept is that in order to become a member, you buy La Fonera, the wireless router for your home and for other Foneros for $39.95. Once you have bought the router, you can choose who you want to share it with. You can share it for free with all Foneros, or you can share it for a fee that gets split between you and FON. The benefit of FON is that you can connect to WiFi wherever a FON router is close by. In this way, you don�t have to pay for internet both at home and away. If you don�t purchase the router, you can still take advantage of the available connections by paying $3 for use per day. FON is a Spanish company and is swiftly gaining tens of thousands of users monthly. In the upcoming months, they will be making a big push for users in the US.

The story cites contract disputes and the falling price of residential broadband as reasons for the talks collapsing. 'Chicago officials had intended that the city would offer infrastructure, but no cash, to a carrier that would use its own funds to build the network here.

Stretching from Sardinia Island to Central Italy, the 189 mile connection ran on Ubiquiti's XtremeRange5 miniPCI module at 5Mbps, and used 35dBi 5GHz parabolic dish antennas to achieve the range. It's not exactly the furthest WiFi connection ever achieved, but it is the first to use the 5GHz frequency for 5Mbps speeds, and was purportedly a snap to set up with the Ubiquiti tech.

Posted by samc on August 15th, 2007 Why Wi-Fi Networks Are Floundering by Business Week’s Olga Kharif, says the static around municipal wireless networks is getting worse. Perhaps the clearest hint of trouble ahead is that some of the companies partnering with cities on these projects, including EarthLink and AT&T, are having second thoughts about remaining in the municipal Wi-Fi business. In San Francisco, recent developments have left many observers scratching their heads over whether that city’s Wi-Fi project, announced more than a year ago, will ever get off the ground. In July, the president of the city’s Board of Supervisors revealed that he was seeking to change the terms of the preliminary contracts awarded to EarthLink and Google. While it’s unclear whether he was referring to San Francisco in particular, EarthLink’s new chief executive officer, Rolla Huff, promised in his company’s July 26 earni | | By: for bored mindz | | |

GNER completed a $6.5 million installation of Wi-Fi broadband connectivity on all 41 of its east coast trains last year, reports C/Net. GNER charged either $5.96 per half hour or $20.11 for a full day’s use. Now it will be free on National’s East Coast route. They use a server from Swedish company Icomera on the train to provides a 2MB satellite downlink. The franchise, which covers services connecting London with Scotland via Peterborough, Leeds and Newcastle, on the East Coast, will start on December 9 and run until March 31, 2015.

The large and growing installed base of Wi-Fi equipment means new opportunities for using Wi-Fi in unorthodox ways. One of the most interesting is the growing trend towards using Wi-Fi to provide real-time location services (RTLS) for asset management, security, and work-in-progress tracking, which have traditionally been the province of proprietary RFID solutions. Real Time Location Systems use triangulation (to determine location) and RFID (to determine identity). Today this market, at a mere $59 million in 2007 revenues, can best be described as “embryonic,” but ABI forecasts it to reach $839 million in 2012. “In the past, companies wishing to deploy RTLS had to buy proprietary RFID systems, including very expensive readers.

Gadgets A research group from the Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC) at Georgia Tech has recently released a study demonstrating high-speed wireless data transfers at a staggering 15Gbps at a one meter range. The system is still in its infancy, as data rates drop off steeply with just a little added distance (10Gbps at two meters, 5Gbps at five meters), but the possibilities for speeds of this sort are promising. At 10Gbps, researches say you could download the entire DVD of Beaches to a cellphone in five seconds, although the ultra-high frequency 60GHz band used for transmission is unable to pass through human skin, creating line-of-sight issues which engineers have yet to unkink.

The hotspots, located in places like McDonalds and Barnes & Noble, will be made available to users of AT&T's 3.0-Mbps-and-higher services like Yahoo! High Speed Internet Pro and Elite, and FastAccess Xtreme (3.0 or 6.0 Mbps), and will give them unlimited connectivity anywhere that AT&T has service. This should be nice news for the company's users, especially those who just got a new phone with WiFi, and while this doesn't really offer anything close to T-Mobile's Hotspot @Home, it could certainly pave the telecom's way towards some WiFi-based VoIP.source : engadget.com | | By: for bored mindz | | |

| | WiFi record | | 2007-06-18 23:30:00 | | New WiFi Record: 237 Miles By David Becker June 18, 2007 | 2:51:25 PMCategories: Networking A Venezuelan techie apparently has set a new record for longest WiFi link. Networking guru Ermanno Pietrosemoli established a wireless connection between a PC in El Aguila, Venezuela, and one in Platillon Mountain, a distance of about 237 miles, mostly using off-the-shelf equipment and a few hacked parts. The previous record was 193 miles, between a balloon and an Earth-bound PC, which rather cuts down on the risk of signal-bouncing obstacles. Pietrosemoli notes in the project description that one of the benefits of doing this kind of work out in the Latin American boonies is you don't have to worry much about signal interference. And yes, I now feel a whole new kind of stupid for not being able to get a reasonable signal between home office and bedroom. source : wired.com | | By: for bored mindz | | |
| | Notebook And WiFi Standards | | 2007-06-06 14:16:00 | | Every modern notebook is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing internet access from any part of the globe. But while using your wireless notebook, you should be aware of Wi-Fi standards, hotspots, and how to effectively use this technology to make the optimum use of your notebook.The 802.11g Wi-Fi standard is the latest standard, which your notebook follows when you are online. The Wi-Fi alphabet spaghetti consists of protocols like 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, and 802.20. However, for most notebook users 802.11 would be sufficient with added `a`, `b`, or `g`. There are protocols like `e`, `h`, `i`, and `n` that are waiting in the wings to make their entry. Nevertheless, as of now, 802.11g is the only protocol that one needs to think when it comes to wireless connectivity. The latest Wi-Fi standard is the 802.11g and offers connection speeds up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz radio bands, which is five times more than the previous standard 802.11b. It is more stable, more secure, and backward compatible.Almost | | By: PoloMercantil Informative Articles | | |
| | | Arrestado por utilizar la red Wifi gratuita de una cafetería | | 2007-05-26 17:13:47 | | Estos americanos cada día me dejan más perplejo, leo en Kriptópolis que un ciudadano de Michigan fue arrestado cuando fue sorprendido por la policía cuando consultaba su e-mail desde el interior de su coche utilizando la red wireless que una cafetería cercana ofrecía gratis a sus clientes.
Curiosamente, ni el denunciado, ni el propietario de la cafetería, ni el propio agente de policía sabían que eso podía constituir un delito. El jefe de policía manifestó que "tuvo la sensación de que se estaba violando alguna ley, pero no sabía exactamente cuál."
Pero una vez puesta en marcha la dinámica de la Justicia, el sujeto podría ser condenado a una pena de hasta cinco años y 10.000 dólares de multa, por violación de la ley de acceso fraudulento a recursos informáticos vigente en Michigan. El denunciado ha preferido acept | | By: Sin Miedo | | |
