"HEWLETT-PACKARD will provide hotels, airports and other venues with wireless Internet access for either their own employees or the general public, it announced Monday, a day before the official opening of TECHXNY in New York."
HP will do the installations, partnering with Cisco, iPass, Aptilo Networks, and Boingo Wireless. 802.11b will be used. They can install a single or dual purpose network, allowing employees of the facility, like an airport, to access and exchange data wirelessly and securely while allowing the public general internet access.
