Article Abstract:

A geographic positioning system is build out of the constant fog of signals emitted by radio beacons such as GSM cellular towers, Wi-Fi access points and Bluetooth devices. The foundation of this Wi-Fi technology is that many radio sources constantly broadcast a digital beacon that contains a unique identifier and broadcast every tenth of a second.

Broader broadband

Article Abstract:

TGn, the IEEE local area networking committee is introducing Wi-Fi that would double data rates from the current top speed of 54 megabits per second specified by IEEE 802.11g. The largest difference is that the WWiSE proposal defines the same 20-megahertz-wide channel that current Wi-Fi standards use.
