A community portal about Wi-Fi with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Wi-Fi is a brand originally licensed by the Wi-Fi Alliance ® to describe the underlying technology of wireless local area networks based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications. It was developed to be used for mobile computing devices, such as laptops, in LANs, but is now increasingly used for more services, including Internet and VoIP phone access, gaming, and basic connectivity of consumer electronics such as televisions and DVD players, or digital cameras. More standards are in development that will allow Wi-Fi to be used by cars in highways in support of an Intelligent Transportation System to increase safety, gather statistics, and enable mobile commerce. Wi-Fi ® and the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED ™ logo are registered trademarks of the Wi-Fi Alliance ® - the trade organization that tests and certifies equipment compliance with the 802.11x standards.

Kelly Davis-Felner, the Wi-Fi Alliance's marketing director, said Wi-Fi Direct will make it easier to liberate the mounting gigabytes of digital family photos that are trapped in cameras, smart phones or PCs. Now those gadgets will be ... Read Full Story

What comes to mind when you hear about Network Access Control (NAC)? Visions of the “self-defending network” deftly wiping out viruses and spyware before they can take hold? Or is it visions of multimillion dollar switch upgrades, complaining users, and endless pain? Though NAC has not yet made it into the big time, reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, it is likely that NAC could see a resurgence, fueled by the widespread adoption of Wi-Fi. NAC and Wi-Fi have the potential to become best friends – both with each other and with the IT security manager.Since the adoption of the ... Read Full Story

Although many airlines are cutting back on the standard perks (in-flight meals and snacks, free checking of bags, pillows), Internet-addicts can look forward to in-flight Wi-Fi on more and more airlines. Right now, Virgin America, United, Delta, American and Southwest are just some of the airlines offering in-flight Wi-Fi as an extra perk (a perk that usually costs about $12 or $13 per flight). How popular is the feature? Well, according to a study by the Wi-Fi Alliance back in August, 76% of frequent-fliers would change airlines just to get access to Wi-Fi.

If you're like most people, you probably spend a great deal of time away from your home Wi-Fi network. Free open Wi-Fi networks can be few and far between these days so if you have an iPod touch, a MacBook, or even an iPhone this can be inconvenient to say the least. There are solutions available to help (like the MiFi 2200) but if you already have a USB 3G modem or a phone that supports tethering, there's no reason to pay twice for data...
