 Two Blackberry models now have Wi-Fi interfaces, allowing users to connect download files much faster: The full-sized Blackberry 8820, available exclusively through AT&T, and Blackberry Curve 8320, available through T-Mobile. Be aware, however, that batteries will drain much faster when using Wi-Fi. Take a look at the related BusinessWeek review. Maybe the availability of Wi-Fi in Blackberry devices will help stimulate the need for city-wide Wi-Fi networks? What do you think?

Despite several large cities, such as Chicago and San Francisco, holding back indefinitely on deploying city-wide Wi-Fi networks, the City of Los Angeles is still considering a city-wide network. I recently completed a RF survey throughout the City for this project. Take a look at a related L.A. Times article that gives you a good update on the progress the City is making toward deploying a city-wide Wi-Fi network.

For a number of years, we’ve certainly been aware of the security vulnerabilities of using 802.11 WEP (wired equivalent privacy) as a method of encrypting data frames traversing 802.11 networks. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a much better alternative, but the problem is that WPA is not available in all devices. In addition, it’s sometimes difficult to get WPA working well across client radios and access points made by different manufacturers. As a result, WEP is sometimes our only option for securing wireless LAN connections for the next few years. The common thought is that “at least WEP is better than nothing.” Airtight, however, has recently announced a new tool that helps guard WEP mechanisms against hackers. You might consider this for implementations where only WEP is available, and you need some added protection. Refer to the AirTight press release for more details.
