FON & Time Warner Cable WiFi Network

FON and Time Warner Cable have formed a partnership that allows Time Warner Cable broadband subscribers to access the world's largest and fastest-growing WiFi network.

The partnership specifically allows Time Warner Cable subscribers to become
FON community members and create FON access points via their home or
business broadband connection. Furthermore, the same subscribers would
enjoy free WiFi access around the world, wherever FON has partner ISPs.

"We are pleased to welcome Time Warner Cable subscribers to the global
FON community," said Joanna Rees, CEO of FON U.S. "Success for FON depends
on extending Internet access to our user bases outside the home or office
without requiring individuals to rely on costly and problematic remote
access solutions."

"WiFiber" from GigaBeam, a Virginia-based telecommunications startup operates in the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz radio spectrum bands. This portion of the radio frequency spectrum has been authorized by the Federal Communications Commission for wireless point-to-point commercial use.

GigaBeam's technology, utilizing these large blocks of authorized contiguous spectrum, enables multi-Gigabit-per-second communications through use of Gigabit Ethernet and other standard protocols. The current speed achieved by GigaBeam's WiFiber product lines is one Gigabit-per-second - equivalent to 647 T1 lines or 1,000 DSL connections. GigaBeam also plans deployment of future products capable of 10 Gigabits-per-second utilizing either the 10 Gigabit Ethernet or OC-192 protocol standards.

GigaBeam's WiFiber technology is similar to terrestrial fiber in terms of speed and reliability for deployment in Metropolitan Area Networks (MANS). However, WiFiber has a substantial advantage over terrestrial fiber because WiFiber can be deployed in a day and costs less to deploy than terrestrial fiber. Terrestrial fiber can take months to deploy and also require significant regulatory and environmental approvals prior to installation.

Intel Corp. yesterday introduced the Intel PRO/Wireless 5116 broadband interface device, the company's' first WiMAX product. The new wireless technology - WiMax or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access - would allow homes and businesses to receive high-speed Internet service wirelessly instead of via cable or telephone lines, Washington Post said on Tuesday.

Intel said the signal could travel as far as 30 miles in rural areas though the range of the service would depend on many factors.

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT, headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.) is pursuing research and development of an innovative Human Area Networking technology called RedTacton that safely turns the surface of the human body into a data transmission path at speeds up to 10 Mbps between any two points on the body. Using a novel electro-optic sensor, NTT has already developed a small PCMCIA card-sized prototype RedTacton transceiver. RedTacton enables the first practical Human Area Network between body-centered electronic devices and PCs or other network devices embedded in the environment via a new generation of user interface based on totally natural human actions such as touching, holding, sitting, walking, or stepping on a particular spot. RedTacton can be used for intuitive operation of computer-based systems in daily life, temporary one-to-one private networks based on personal handshaking, device personalization, security, and a host of other applications based on new behavior patterns enabled by RedTacton. NTT is committed to moving RedTacton out of the laboratory and into commercial production as quickly as possible by organizing joint field trials with partners outside the company, under NTT's comprehensive producer program.Read More
