Gigabit Ethernet continues to pace Wi-Fi: both are benefitting from enormous competition, and have become… Continue reading One Chip Wi-Fi

Cisco Wi-Fi Phone. Cisco to ship Wi-Fi cordless phone in June: The Cisco phone requires some kind of PBX (phone exchange), but it's unclear from any of the articles I've read whether there's a gateway box you need to interface with specific PBX models. Cisco might later release a version of the phone that does… Continue reading Cisco Wi-Fi Phone
