In this video, aired by KQED, Brian Moura, Co-Chairman of Wireless Silicon Valley, discusses the deployment of one of the world's largest wireless network that will provide outdoors Internet access for the public, police and first responders in 37 cities in the Silicon Valley area in California. The video isn’t very technical in regards to Wi-Fi, but it gives you a good idea of how Wi-Fi is being applied in large-scale municipalities.

In this interview I talked with Scott Schober, President and CEO of Berkeley Varitronics Systems (BVS), maker of specialized Wi-Fi RF analysis tools.Learn what Scott has to say about new and beneficial features that are now art of their Yellow Jacket test tool.
I interviewed Alan Cohen, responsible for marketing mobility solutions
at Cisco. Learn recent advancements in Cisco’s wireless LAN product line and extensive
research that they’ve done regarding needs for mobile solutions. Alan has very
interesting commentary on the mobile wireless industry and how it relates to
Wi-Fi networks.
There’s been lots of buzz in the wireless industry about implementing voice over Wi-Fi applications. We’ve all seen the market predictions, but market forecasts are only predictions based on what people think today, and they’ve been wrong before. In the early 1990s I remember seeing numerous reports claiming that wireless LANs would replace wired networks by the mid-1990s. Of course that didn’t happen.
I recently interviewed Dan Simone, CTO and Cofounder of Trapeze Networks, which offers the Smart Mobile wireless LAN solution. Listen to Dan, and find out if the Trapeze Smart Mobile solution might make sense for you to deploy. Also, learn some interesting facts about the availability Wi-Fi-certified 802.11n functionality, which is probably much sooner than you might expect.
I just interviewed Neil Diener, CTO for Cognio, an innovative maker ofwireless LAN spectrum analyzers. Neil talks about what Cognio tools offerand the advantages of using spectrum analyzers over using "protocol" tools,such as NetStumbler, when deploying Wi-Fi networks. If you're not already using a spectrum analyzer, or you're having trouble deciphering the source of RF interference, listen to what Neil has to say. You'll likely find the need to add spectrum analysis to your set of test tools.
