"Wi-Fi - What's it all about?"
Wireless is in the air--and increasingly in newspaper headlines and magazine stories. It's being touted as the next big thing about to revolutionize our lives, by taking the broadband Internet we currently access and use through cables and digital phone lines and extending it into our flexible, unattached lives. It's futuristic, yet familiar--it was predicted to arrive in the late 1990's, but the bursting of the Internet bubble and the tech slowdown sidetracked it until now. Join us at the downtown Minneapolis Development Center of Implex.net, a leading Wi-Fi solutions provider, for an expert guide to what this Wi-Fi technology is all about and where it's heading.
