WiFi set to take off
WiFi Alliance industry group co-founder David Cohen predicts that distribution of more powerful networking gear, larger numbers of interoperable devices and better security measures will lead to widespread adoption of the technology.
According to reports, Cohen says continued advancement of the 802.11 wireless standard and a range of new products are fuelling a wave of growth in the unwired world, as evidenced by the work of Boeing and others to bring WiFi onto passenger aircraft.
Research by Dallas-based Parks Association shows 52% of all Internet-connected US homes already use some form of WiFi networking technology, and Cohen says that number should increase dramatically over the next three years as speed, reliability and range improves.
