Wi-Lan News

Wi-Lan seems to be moving out of the chasm and now its tech can reach anywhere in North America and much of the rest of the world.

Some background:

Wi-Lan has slowly been moving out of the chasm here. This is the wireless broadband company that owns W-OFDM, a technology which allows more than 50 mbps and out-of-sight wireless. It seems to be the only current here-and-now technology which allows mobile broadband access at such speeds.

MSFT recently endorsed an OFDM standard, which we'll be hearing more about.

Thursday, we got some important news that allows Wi-Lan's broadband wireless solution to reach anywhere in North America and Europe.

It now depends on sales, partnerships, etc. But this technology has the potential to one-up fiber.

An Interesting Perspective
