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.
Google To Offer Free Wi-Fi In Airports For The Holidays
It’s a sad statistic, but the US lags behind many countries when it comes to free Wi-Fi access. And in a country where air travel and connecting flights are the norm, finding a good hotspot while waiting for your next flight can be a pain — and if you do find one, it’s going to be pretty pricey. Thankfully, Google is unrolling a nice Christmas gift for air travelers for this year’s holidays — free Wi-Fi.
Of course, Google won’t be offering free Wi-Fi in EVERY airport in the US (although there’s little doubt they’re working on that too), some of the more-traveled holiday destinations will have their airports equipped with free Google Wi-Fi. This will let bored travelers spend a little time sending an e-mail to their relatives and friends, telling them they’ve landed and when their next flight is going to be. (And, of course, Tweet about Google’s free Wi-Fi.)
The US cities on Google’s list include Las Vegas, Boston, Burbank, Indianapolis, Miami, Orlando, Charlotte, San Jose, Baltimore, Houston, Seattle, Ft. Lauderdale, and St. Louis. The free Wi-Fi was unrolled this week, and will continue to serve air travelers until January 15 — except in Burbank and Seattle, where the free Wi-Fi will be there forever, if Google can help it.
