"Billed as the "world's first" Wi-Fi wall outlet, the Wi-Jack includes Aruba's wireless access-point radio technology built into a standard data wall outlet. It will reduce the cost of installing a wireless access point from $1,500 or more to around $125, the vendors say. That will let businesses install more wireless access points, creating a "wireless grid" that will result in a network with a greater data-carrying capacity than a conventional wireless network, says Merwyn Andrade, Aruba's chief technology officer. A wireless grid can also provide more-accurate asset-tracking and location-tracking services than a regular wireless network, he says." Information Week has the story here.
"Each Wi-Jack will include a radio that provides 802.11a (54 Mbps) or 802.11b/g (11 Mbps and 54 Mbps) service."
