Why Apple's Airport Express May

Why Apple's Airport Express May
Unofficially Extend Non-Airport Networks 06/07/2004 05:15 PM

Even though Apple is claiming on their website that the new Airport Express can only act as a network range extender (signal repeater) with other Airport devices (look at the bottom of this page), WiFi Networking News's Glenn Fleishman explains why the Airport Express may just work with some non-Apple devices after all:

NY Times Looks at AirPort Wi-Fi

NY Times Looks at AirPort Wi-Fi 07/26/2004 11:11 PM
Airports are finally getting the Wi-Fi religion, but only 19 of top 50 airports have service; 6 are deciding on vendors: I know regular readers of this site are used to seeing my byline on any Wi-Fi obsessive article in the New York Times, but I can't be everywhere. Jane Levere writes an extremely tight wrap-up on the current and future state of Wi-Fi in airports, focusing on pricing, utility, and the lack of roaming plans. As noted earlier today, SBC has signed roaming agreements with a number of airport providing hotspot operators: if it added Sprint PCS and AT&T Wireless's locations, it would have the hat trick. But until SBC actually adds it's newest partners into their network and signs additional locations, we've got a pretty scattered set of airports under any given plan. One item not mentioned that affects Wi-Fi in airports is the airlines and concessionaires sudden ability to put in their own networks per a recent FCC clarification that only they can regulate unlicensed spectrum, not landlords or airport authorities. This report is just a month old, and I'm sure that airlines, retail shops, and other tenants of airports are still digesting the decision and beating airport authorities over the head about it. We'll very likely see a number of interesting airport options that crop up with that artificial landlord restriction removed. The authorities may try to keep a lid on through other methods, but the FCC handed tenants a blunt instrument. (Now, don't get on me about spectrum etiquette and coordination. It's a good idea. If you have 20 networks operating in a small space all on the same channel--very bad. Tragedy of the commons. And so forth. But etiquette is enforced when no one gets utility unless everyone cooperates. Prisoner's Dilemma and all that. Thus, spectrum coordination for unlicensed use can happen ante or post facto.)...

Look Out Airport Networks...

Look Out Airport Networks... 11/18/2003 09:04 PM
JetBlue Airways is offering free Wi-Fi to folks hanging out in its departure gates in Terminal 6 in New York's JFK Airport: The airline also offers the free Wi-Fi in its hub, the LA/Long Beach airport. If more airlines start doing this, it will be interesting to watch what happens to the companies that are already offering fee-based services in airports. That seems to be a big business, with hotspot providers signing exclusive deals with airports. I wonder what sort of rights airlines have to build Wi-Fi networks in the gates they often use. Glenn has heard from some folks in the industry that airports are starting to assert rights to spectrum that they previously left alone, or encoding these rights in new contracts as airline leases expire....

Detroit Airport Gets Wi-Fi

Detroit Airport Gets Wi-Fi 12/19/2003 07:36 PM
Concourse Communications built a Wi-Fi network in part of Detroit's airport: The network will be free through the end of the holidays and after that will cost $6.95 for daily use. Concourse went through some restructuring a few months ago, and is finally getting caught up on its contracted airports. It's had Detroit under contracts for years, and the three New York/New Jersey airports (JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark) are about to get fully built out as well instead of the partial service now available....

Mark in a comment sends us to Kiss This Guy, a site that aggregates misheard lyrics (kiss this guy = kiss the sky). Which reminds me of something I heard at the Seattle airport yesterday... Two parents where shepherding their 8-yr-old daughter through the long "security" line. The parents took off their shoes and the girl started laboriously to unbuckle hers. "Does she have to take off hers?" the father asked the security guy. "Children are exempt," he said with a slight Southern accent. Still the girl insisted on taking off her shoes. After urging her not to a...

Apple's AirPort Express looks like a good product, but it seems to be suffering from a case of over-integration (i.e. it does too many things). I think it would help if Apple gave a set of use cases (with pictures).

Airport Network Services, a subsidiary of ICOA, built a Wi-Fi network covering the entire Savannah/Hilton Head airport: I was there about a year ago and it's a small but really nice airport. Visitors can use the network for $6.95 per day. It seems like more small airports like this one are building Wi-Fi networks that can be used by visitors but also airport workers....

Is It Against The Law To Put The Name Of
The Toronto Airport On The Web?

Is It Against The Law To Put The Name Of
The Toronto Airport On The Web? 11/13/2003 05:16 PM
Sometimes you have to wonder about folks who are very quick to dash off legal threats to websites that happen to mention their name. The site Urinal.net is a (surprisingly) popular website posting pictures of urinals from around the world. They were recently profiled in the Wall Street Journal and on BBC radio among others. The site has hundreds of fans who regularly submit pictures of urinals they take from locations all over the world. Basically, it's the sort of bizarre, but amusing, site that makes the internet fun. Not everyone seems to get the fun part, though. Someone from the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (the GTAA) happened to find a page on the site that includes two completely normal photos of urinals from the Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, and decided that this must be illegal. They've sent an email threatening legal action against the site if they did not remove the name of the airport from the site. The site's owners complied, but were clear to mention that the GTAA had muted them. In response, the GTAA has also told them they cannot even mention the GTAA. Again, the site has complied in very amusing fashion. The description of the airport now reads: "The [facility in question] - covering 1,792 hectares (4,430 acres) - has been [Canada's largest city's] main international [aircraft take-off and landing facility] since 1939 when it was first known as Malton [facility]." They also note that the "Gee-Tee-Aye-Aye" forbids them from naming the actual airport. It makes you wonder, on what legal authority the GTAA is claiming you cannot name their organization or their airports. It's not likely that anyone is going to be confused into believing that urinal.net is the official website of the Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport. These days, people seem very quick to pull out legal threats any time anyone so much as mentions their name on a website.

Apple's AirPort Express

Apple's AirPort Express 06/07/2004 10:23 PM

Apple introduced today the new AirPort Express wireless doodad. The AirPort Express (can I call it the APE for short?) is a little white wall-wart-sized brick that can be used for several things, most notably streaming your iTunes music -- mp3, CD, or Internet Radio -- wirelessly from your Mac to your home stereo. That's called AirTunes.

Enjoy your iTunes music library in virtually any room of your house. Share a single broadband Internet connection and USB printer without inconvenient and obtrusive cables. Create an instant wireless network on the go. Extend the range of your current wireless network. How many devices do you need to do all this? Just one.

In typical Apple fashion, the APE is simple and straight to the point, and will be an attractive option for a wide variety of users, because it can do a wide variety of things and because it's very portable. It's based on the 802.11g wireless standard, and should work with just about any 802.11g hardware out there, not just Apple's own. Sounds like it will even work with the Winders version of iTunes.

Priced at $129. I think I can swing that!
