Free Webinar on Public Wi-Fi – The Transformation to Wireless Philadelphia
5 February 2006
Xtalks is pleased to present the Public Wi-Fi web seminar. At this event you will hear from Dianah Neff, CIO for the City of Philadelphia as she reviews the technological challenges of creating a wireless city.
As more businesses and individuals go wireless, there is an increasing demand for public spaces to incorporate WiFi into their offerings. Already, places such as airports, libraries and universities are starting to provide 'hotspots' where users can access wireless internet. However, there is a growing trend to provide greater access to this technology in more diverse settings.
Perhaps the most ambitious of these new plans is the creation of a wireless Philadelpia. Incorporating the use of this technology over large areas provides CIO's with a host of technical challenges, not the least of which are ensuring strong signal levels, providing access systems, ensuring security levels and integrating new wireless systems with existing ones.
The web conference is sponsored by BelAir networks and Airpath. BelAir networks will host a workshop following the keynote presentation and before the Q&A session.
Registration for the event is currently open and free at: http://www.xtalks.com/wifi1.ashx
