My WiFi

Need to connect your Notebook to the internet at the same time connect to a device (PDA) through Wi-Fi?

What you need was to connect both to an Access Point then. You may face lots of difficulties trying to connect some device to the Enterprise Access Point.

Intel came out with a new solution.
Simply put it, Intel My WiFi turns a notebook into an Wi-Fi AP that seamlessly takes care of all of the Wi-Fi connection details, allowing users to quickly connect to their devices. On one hand this is great news for some.

However, I wonder whether, this has been tested with current many Companies Wi-Fi Network security feature that shuts down Rouge AP features? Like Trapeze or Aruba.

IEEE 802.11r

IEEE 802.11r is part of the Wi-Fi Standard. (Wiki) This happened for quite a while, but however, it takes some time for people start to notice it. (Story 1) (Story 2)

Well these stories did not get some of the facts correct. Indeed, IEEE 802.11r roaming faster when compare with IEEE 802.11i (Security)+ IEEE 802.11e (Quality of Service). (See my conference paper). But it is does not do roaming any faster when compare with no security at all.Well just to add on, IEEE 802.11k has become part of Wi-Fi Standard last year 2007.

So some work has completed, some work has just began. IEEE 802.11y, IEEE 802.11z, and IEEE 802.11aa is now work in progress.

Wireless@SG

Today, Mr Yap (Seismic) told us about jobs in iCell and QMax, which are Singapore wireless operators for Wireless@SG. The jobs there are very relevant to the skills we are being equipped with during our course.

Oh yes, keep your eyes wide open; look at all the access points (the new small white boxes, if i'm not mistaken) coming along in TP~ =)

Skype Phone

Currently I am teaching a subject on Voice over IP. One of the famous product for Voice over IP is skype. When we talk about skype, normally we will think of using computer to chat with one another there are actually many other implementation of skype that does not need to switch on the computer!

1) Skype Mobile Phone (Only in UK)

This basically is a mobile phone that all calls go through skype. Well this is not so good as it is only working in UK and does not work else where.

2) Skype on PSP

This is a great product for many students who own a PSP. Not sure how this fair, can any one update me on this?

3) Skype on Windows Mobile

I have not got a chance to try out this even though we have quite a few of Window Mobile device lying around. Has anyone using this now?

4) Skype on Nokia Tablet

Well even though it is linux based, I still think that Nokia Tablet is too expensive to own and moreover iPhone now has a SDK.

5) Skype on WiFi

This has been selling in Sim Lim square for quite sometime. Not sure how it would fair. The problem with this is the screen is too small and not sure whether it will support WPA2.

6)Skype Desk Phone (This is what I want!!!! wait for delivery .....)

It cost me USD $170 not including shipping.
I think it is a good present for my parents who does not know how to use a PC, and often need to make long distance call.



Well there is a skype scheme that I think is quite cheap if you make alot of calls. It is call unlimited world. If you only want singapore only they also have unlimited country.
