April 29, 2014The Internet of Things (IoT) is a topic that continues to garner media attention by the terabyte. Now the IoT is moving beyond the trade journals and industry blogs to find a place in more mainstream publications.

March 04, 2014I’m just back from Alaska, where Motorola Solutions has boosted both customer satisfaction and staff productivity at the state’s largest ski resort with the installation of true high-speed, wall-to-wall Wi-Fi coverage in every guest room with plenty of bandwidth to ensure superior wireless performance, regardless of how many devices may be in use. “Most hotels and resorts offer free high-speed wireless service but aren’t always able to deliver on their ‘high-speed’ promise,” reads a story on the Wi-Fi project by TodayWirelessWorld.com. “Hotels and resorts can shake the stigma of sluggish WLAN signal strength when they stop trying to make a consumer-grade wireless router pull the weight.

December 10, 2013With help from our partner Motorola Solutions, wireless LAN is going down under. In this case, I don't mean Australia, but underground into the subway system in Toronto, Canada. There, ruggedized wireless access points and controllers using Motorola's Wireless Next Generation technology were chosen by BAI Canada to give Wi-Fi connectivity to Toronto's subway riders. TCConnect, as it's being called, was unveiled this week at two of the city's busiest subway stations, and it eventually will cover all 65 that are in place or planned. That's good news for 1.7 million people who use the system daily. They get the ability to use their wireless devices to access the Internet, social media, and e-mail. They also can get access to real-time alerts, arrival and departure information, and
