New WiFi distance record: 382 kilometers

Researcher Ermanno Pietrosemoli has set what appears to be a new record for the longest communication link with WiFi.

Pietrosemoli, president of the Escuela Latinoamerica de Redes (which means networking school of Latin America) established a WiFi link between two computers located in El Aguila and Platillon Mountain, Venezuela. That's a distance of 382 kilometers, or 238 miles. He used technology from Intel, which is concocting its own long-range WiFi equipment, and some off-the-shelf parts. Pietrosemoli gets about 3 megabits per second in each direction on his long range connections.

Most WiFi signals only go a few meters before petering out. Conventional WiFi transmitters, however, transmit signals in all directions. By directing the signal to a specific point, range can be increased. ..

WiFi access coming to BART trains

WiFi Rail has posted a press release, detailing the construction of a WiFi network that can be used by commuters on San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) trains. Although the network will not be fully complete until 2010, WiFi Rail states that "four downtown San Francisco stations and some segments of the tunnels are already fully functional, and have been providing premium service free to subscribers for the past year". The release indicates that "speeds in excess of 15Mbps on trains moving 81 miles-per-hour". WiFi Rail doesn't say whether or not they will expand their services to other trains, but it's a strong possibility, and maybe even being expanded to other means of transportation.

WiFi is no longer a viable secure connection

WiFi is no longer secure enough to protect wireless data.

Global Secure Systems has said that a Russian's firm's use of the latest NVidia graphics cards to accelerate WiFi ‘password recovery' times by up to an astonishing 10,000 per cent proves that WiFi's WPA and WPA2 encryption systems are no longer enough to protect wireless data.

David Hobson, managing director of GSS, claimed that companies can no longer view standards-based WiFi transmission as sufficiently secure against eavesdropping to be used with impunity. He also said that the use of VPNs is arguably now mandatory for companies wanting to comply with the Data Protection Act.

He said: “This breakthrough in brute force decryption of WiFi signals by Elcomsoft confirms our observations that firms can no longer rely on standards-based security to protect their data. As a result, we now advise clients using WiFi in their offices to move on up to a VPN encryption system as well.

Microsoft releases MSN Sideguide to fund free wifi

Recently Microsoft silently launched MSN Sideguide, a new sidebar that "enhances your browsing experience with useful and relevant information as you surf". The sidebar can be docked at either side of the screen (multi-monitor users are out of luck - it is always on primary screen - at least for now) and displays content of the MSN channels, the latest headlines from MSN/MSNBC, and enables easy access to Live Search.



Codenamed Shadow, the main purpose of MSN Sideguide is to fund the free wifi networks that Microsoft is currently testing in Oakland and Portland with its ISP partner, MetroFi - the wifi connection will be dropped if Sideguide is not running. MSN Sideguide is an "always on top sidebar" taking away space of your desktop but it offers the option that it only does so when browsing. If you enable this option Word, etc will still use the full desktop. In this mode MSN Sideguide recognizes IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari as browsing apps and shows up - Netscape will still use the full desktop space.



Microsoft only recently announced its partnership with Jiwire to monetize free wifi, and Shadow seems to be another step on this journey.

Windows 7 adds native Virtual WiFi technology from Microsoft Research

WiFi is an incredible technology that has transformed how and where people used computers, however besides advancements in speed, range and security, very little has changed how we use wireless networks. Since 2002, Microsoft Research has been exploring a fascinating idea to virtualize the WiFi adapter, turning a single piece of hardware and radio into virtually (pun) unlimited adapters. Years after the project was seemingly abandoned, it is now uncovered Virtual WiFi technology has been baked in the Windows 7 networking foundations...

Philadelphia's citywide WiFi close to shutting down

It'd be absolutely spectacular to actually see one of these admittedly ambitious municipal WiFi projects actually work out every now and then, but instead, we're seeing the nails start to sink into yet another citywide WiFi coffin.

This go 'round, the network blanketing most of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is on the verge of sending out its last signals unless the city can devise a plan in short order to take it over from EarthLink, who unsurprisingly wants out on the double. Unfortunately, we don't have a great feeling about the system's future -- history has a way of forecasting, you know?

Steve Jobs keen on a world where people share WiFi

Apple chief executive Steve Jobs is reportedly "very interested" in a world where people share their WiFi connections in return for free access to other wireless hotspots in their communities, and recently met with the founder of upstart provider FON, whose business aims might just dovetail with the iPhone maker.



Jobs had previously read about FON, the latest venture of Argentinean new media entrepreneur Martin Varsavsky, which launched in November 2005 under mantra "WiFi for everyone." It sells routers that have been designed to enable subscribers to share their home WiFi access in a more secure manner by splitting a traditional WiFi signal into two separate channels -- one for broadband internet access and another to share with fellow subscribers.

The ethics of "stealing" a WiFi connection

Network security firm Sophos recently published a study on what it terms WiFi "piggybacking," or logging on to someone's open 802.11b/g/n network without their knowledge or permission. According to the company's study, which was carried out on behalf of The Times , 54 percent of the respondents have gone WiFi freeloading, or as Sophos put it, "admitted breaking the law ."



Amazingly, accessing an unsecured, wide-open WiFi network without permission is illegal in some places, and not just in the UK. An Illinois man was arrested and fined $250 in 2006 for using an open network without permission, while a Michigan man who parked his car in front of a café and snarfed its free WiFi was charged this past May with "Fraudulent access to computers, computer systems, and computer networks." On top of that, it's common to read stories about WiFi "stealing" in the mainstream media.



It's time to put an end to this silliness. Using an open WiFi network is no more "stealing" than is listening to the radio or watching TV using the old rabbit ears...

More than 100 times faster than WiFi?

Radio scientists at IBM Research and MediaTek are teaming up to develop a wireless transmission protocol that will deliver files more than 100 times faster than WiFi.



The idea is to take advantage of the 60GHz spectrum, according to Mehmet Soyuer, the lead researcher on the project, whose based in IBM's TJ Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York. These chips will be able to transfer files at around 2.5 gigabits per second, compared to the 11 to 54 megabits of WiFi. Hence the 100x faster calculation, Soyuer said.



Put another way, these chips could transfer at 10 gigabyte file wirelessly in five seconds or so, something that would take several minutes on a WiFi network.

Michigan man arrested for using cafe's free WiFi from car

Sam Peterson was arrested under a Michigan law barring access to anyone else's network without authorization; he is being prosecuted for using a cafe's free WiFi from his car. The cafe's WiFi network was reserved for customers - Peterson never came into the Union Street Café - and instead used its free WiFi from the comfort of his car, every single day. A police officer grew suspicious of Peterson and eventually questioned him as to what he was up to. " I knew that the Union Street had WiFi. I just went down and checked my e-mail and didn't see a problem with that ," Peterson told a reporter.

Under Michigan's "Fraudulent access to computers, computer systems, and computer networks" law, Peterson's actions could result in a five-year felony and a $10,000 fine. However, prosecutors do not plan to throw the book at him, as they don't believe that Peterson was aware he was even breaking the law. Instead, he will pay a $400 fine and do 40 hours of community service, and the arrest will not go on his record. Coincidentally, the cafe owner that Peterson was leeching WiFi off of didn't even realize that what Peterson was doing was a crime at the time. Neither did the police officer. " I had a feeling a law was being broken, but I didn't know exactly what ," said Sparta police chief Andrew Milanowski.
