Wifi Wallpaper
June 22, 2004
BAE announced wireless wallpaper today. See here for details. An interesting tack to take - limiting the "leakage" from wireless networks so organisations can control it, while most of the industry is focused on more power, more range, more bandwith.
A few months ago, one of the cinemas in Dublin got intro trouble when it tried out some technology that blocked phone calls in the cinema during a screening. It turns out that this is illegal - you can't just jam the frequency allocated for ther GSM networks. However, the spectrum that most Wifi gear lives in is free for all - microwaves, Bluetooth and 802.11b and g. I think we'll see more products designed to either limit the reach of Wifi networks, or jam them entirely.
