Java SQL Admin Tool 2.0.2 released

Java SQL Admin Tool 2.0.2 released 07/01/2002 08:30 AM
Admin is entirely written in Java. It uses Swing GUI Components and JDBC to connect to databases. It has been succesfully tested with MySQL, InstantDB, Oracle, and PostgreSQL. You can have a tree view of the RDBMS or pick a single instance to have a look at its metadata. It allows you to create, modify, and drop tables and to create indices on a table. The dynamic form makes it easy to enter data into a certain table, and the guided query makes it easy to retrieve data from a table and to export it. Java developers will probably enjoy the code generator doing an OO relational wrapper and a swing GUI for them. You can also export and import data and transport it from one DBMS to another.

IPass for the Rest of Us

IPass for the Rest of Us 12/23/2003 02:18 PM
While iPass is a great option for heavy travelers whose companies have deals with iPass, individual travelers must look elsewhere for a Wi-Fi subscription that includes many hotspots: Global Broadband Internet Access members may offer a good option. Hotspot operators around the world are part of the group and as such offer roaming onto their networks. Most of the operators are in Europe, including The Cloud in the U.K. and a handful of operators in the Netherlands, but Surf and Sip is also part of the group. Currently there are 1,900 hotspots in the network but that number should grow to 2,500 by the end of January....

T-Mobile Opens to iPass

T-Mobile Opens to iPass 12/16/2003 11:22 AM
In its first distribution deal, T-Mobile will allow iPass access to its network of nearly 4,000 U.S. hotspots (also: read Nancy Gohring's print coverage): The arrangement has a few unique aspects. iPass typically charges a per-minute fee for dial-up, wired, and wireless access to its aggregated partner networks. With T-Mobile, they will charge their customers $9.99 for a 24-hour period, but an iPass customer, unlike a retail day-pass purchaser, can use any T-Mobile location in that 24-hour period for no additional charge. Also, unlike most venues as they appear in the iPassConnect 3 client software, which manages the account connection and policies (such as firewall and VPN enforcement), all T-Mobile HotSpot locations will be branded as such instead of by the venue's name alone. In an interview yesterday, VP and general manager of T-Mobile HotSpot Joe Sims said that the network currently comprised 3,900 locations, and was expanding by 35 new hotspots per day heading towards their currently announced contractual commitment of 4,700 hotspots. Ken Denman, iPass's CEO, said that the iPass network had about 1,550 U.S. Wi-Fi hotspots, and thousands more worldwide. This arrangement with T-Mobile brings iPass's total worldwide hotspot count accessible to its customers to about 10,000. T-Mobile's Sims said that security was one of the key factors that led them to partner first with iPass as T-Mobile gets ready to roll out 802.1X authentication through its hotspot locations. The iPassConnect software has support for 802.1X integration. This relationship continues to expand on the growing trend in the hotspot world to focus on business customers; this is the foundation of Cometa's approach, for instance. Sims said, "Our customers are enterprise users," but one might expect that the current pricing model ($6 per hour with a one-hour minimum or $10 per day) could explain that in part. Denman said that in the future, other models were possible other than the $9.99 per day fee that iPass would charge based on what their corporate customers asked for to provide the most flexibility. T-Mobile had announced in spring 2003 a partnership with Boingo to develop a software platform for their network which would allow use of both T-Mobile's 2.5G (GPRS) and Wi-Fi networks. Sims confirmed that that software was still in development, but that it was only for the consumer and "pro-sumer" market. Sims said that T-Mobile would be announcing more partnerships in the coming weeks and months. "The question...

iPass Puts the LAN into WLAN 12/02/2003 01:22 PM
iPass to offer intra-LAN management for companies: iPass's iPassConnect client currently allows a firm to provide company-wide access to remote dial-up, wired, and wireless networks using the firm's own directory. The new iPass Wireless LAN Roaming service will let that company's IT department configure the client to connect to the local wireless LAN, too. In its first release, the software allows firm-wide support for a network name (SSID) and WEP key; this version is expected next quarter. WEP keys can be changed remotely by an IT manager. A later release will handle WPA and directly allow 802.1X authentication of users to iPass's system, which allows dynamic WEP or WPA keys to be assigned. In a briefing, iPass said that this extension to their service is in direct response to customer requests that would allow a single package with a single graphical interface and login to manage the entire wireless experience. iPass will offer this service as with its current offerings, direct to large firms and through resellers to other companies....

iPass Hits 11,179 Hotspots Worldwide

iPass Hits 11,179 Hotspots Worldwide 07/06/2004 12:07 PM
iPass say they crossed the 10,000 hotspots mark in their aggregated network and then some: iPass now offers 11,179 Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide through aggregated partner networks. The release also says that they have 12,000 more under contract for the future, which is a quite extraordinary number. The 2,900 hotels included in this total all have Wi-Fi in at least public spaces, a company spokesperson confirmed. Many of them may have wired in-room broadband, however. An increasing number of hotels are starting with Wi-Fi from the get-go; others are converting from wired broadband to Wi-Fi for greater flexibility as costs drop, range increases, and wireless backhaul becomes simpler. The largest hotspot operators in the U.S. have boiled down to three companies for the near future: T-Mobile (about 4,500), Wayport (several hundred hotels with a mix of Wi-Fi and wired broadband, plus thousands of McDonald's coming online this year), and SBC FreedomLink (several thousand The UPS Store outlets, managed by Wayport)....

IPass Closes Gap in Roaming Service

IPass Closes Gap in Roaming Service 09/27/2004 09:32 AM
IPass said it formed a relationship with Cibernet: IPass already offers a roaming service for Wi-Fi operators that includes handling authentication, security, and fee settlement tracking. With the Cibernet deal, the iPass offering will also include financial settlement. It also appears that iPass hopes to leverage Cibernet's existing business as a roaming settlement service for cellular operators. That business could be helpful as cellular operators hope to begin offering services that enable roaming between cellular networks and Wi-Fi hotspots. In April, a company called RoamPoint launched with much fanfare around the world. Its mission was to help facilitate roaming in the Wi-Fi hotspot market but it doesn't handle billing or settlement. When RoamPoint launched, it was majority owned by The Cloud, an ownership interest that some observers worried might discourage some of The Cloud's competitors from wanting to be RoamPoint customers. Since its launch, at least nine hotspot operators have become RoamPoint customers....

iPass Posts Strong Results 02/10/2004 02:40 AM
iPass posts strong growth in customers, income, earnings for 2003: iPass is an international aggregator of dial-up, wired, and Wi-Fi networks primarily for corporations which use iPass's connection software and tie in their existing user authentication systems. iPass charges typically on a metered (per minute or per day) basis. iPass increased its customer base by over 50 percent year over year, while improving revenue by 37 percent quarter over quarter ($37.5M versus $27.4M) and 47 percent year over year ($136.1M versus $92.8M). Net income was $13.9M for 2003 against $5.5M in 2002 (excluding a $24.3M one-time tax benefit in 2002). The company expects revenue for 2004 to top $180M. From the Wi-Fi side, iPass exceeded 5,000 aggregated locations in 2003, and will be adding 3,900 T-Mobile hotspots in 2004, among other locations for a near-term total of 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots, the CEO said in a recent interview....

Deal 12/23/2003 02:17 PM
It seems that Ken Denman, CEO of iPass, and his good nature can take credit for the T-Mobile deal going through: Denman was around when iPass originally made a deal with MobileStar, then he watched MobileStar head to bankruptcy. But he managed to keep the doors open to making another deal with T-Mobile, which scooped up MobileStar. Apparently negotiations on the details of the T-Mobile deal were stalling but Denman got pulled in and both sides gave up ground to make it happen. IPass is in the midst of making a similar deal with Cometa, where Denman is equally respected. Not to add to the lovefest here, but Glenn and I talked to Denman a week or so ago about the T-Moble deal and we were impressed that Denman seems like a regular guy--he's not full of lame marketing-speak. He also seems to know what he's talking about--he's not just a smooth, figurehead CEO....

Reference Platform

iPass Shows 802.1X under Standard
Reference Platform 06/15/2004 11:54 AM
iPass has demonstrated its client connecting over 802.1X on a hotspot front-end that supports the Generic Interface Specification (GIS) which allows co-exists with browser page logins: This marks a big leap forward in security of local network links in public places. By providing the iPassConnect client with the ability to use secured 802.1X/EAP transactions to gain access to a hotspot network, iPass customers can have a unique key assigned to their network link. This prevents sniffers from using the wireless side of the network to snoop on traffic. iPass developed GIS as a way of securing an authentication session, but the more generic 802.1X protocol coupled with secured EAP is a simpler and more industry standard way to provide access to a Wi-Fi network. iPass's demo shows that GIS, 802.1X, and browser-based logins can co-exist which makes it easier for hotspot operators to migrate customers over time to more secure logins and sessions. The weak link in 802.1X/EAP is that while it provides a unique encryption key to each user in its most useful form, because users are then routed onto a wired network to reach the Internet, if a user can join the network, they can still sniff bridged traffic from the wired side because they're part of the local area network. Some access points can be configured to disable LAN access and only allow Wi-Fi clients to reach the wide area network or Internet feed....

iPass Releases Press Release with
McDonald's Name in It

iPass Releases Press Release with
McDonald's Name in It 11/10/2003 10:53 PM
McDonald's will have its networks certified as Enterprise Ready by iPass: Now the ostensible purpose of this announcement is that McDonald's restaurants with Wi-Fi access will be available to customers on the iPass collective network, which comprises over 2,000 hotspots and 400,000 users across the companies they serve. But read a little closer and you find that the three networks that McDonald's currently uses to run its Wi-Fi service -- Wayport, Cometa, and Toshiba -- are either already certified or soon to be. So what's the news here? Two pieces of news, really. First, McDonald's is making a corporate-level commitment to iPass, which means that even if they use other networks, they'll ostensibly make sure that other operators are or will be certified. Second, McDonald's gave iPass permission to use its name in a press release, which can't hurt on the credibility side. A little extra news at the end notes that McDonald's in China will also become iPass Enterprise Ready. Because all iPass customers have a directory of hotspots that they are really required to use if they are to use hotspots at all -- the software can be set to only allow access to hotspots on iPass's list -- this provides McDonald's with more of those business bodies they want....

RoamPoint, iPass Serve as Roaming Hubs

RoamPoint, iPass Serve as Roaming Hubs 04/28/2004 11:40 AM
RoamPoint entered the hotspot resale market in early April in a sea of confusion: Wi-Fi Networking News recently talked to Leon de Beer, director of RoamPoint, as well as iPass, a potential RoamPoint competitor, to straighten out some of the confusion. RoamPoint was started by de Beer and some colleagues who identified the need for a process that makes it easier for hotspot operators to handle the necessary backend support behind roaming agreements, such as authenticating users across networks and tracking usage across roaming networks. The Cloud, a UK hotspot operator, was thinking along the same lines at the same time. "What we've done is use some of The Cloud facilities to kick start this project and we’re now in the process of spinning it out of The Cloud," de Beer said. The Cloud is currently the majority shareholder in RoamPoint, but de Beer said both entities are hoping to change that soon. "For us, it's really important to be seen as an independent entity not closely associated with one network," de Beer said. Intel is involved with RoamPoint in a co-marketing relationship. Plus, RoamPoint customers must be validated through the Intel Centrino verified hotspot network operators program. RoamPoint hopes to serve as a hub and clearinghouse for hotspot operators and service providers. "We'll deal with the technology and you concentrate on the commercial," de Beer tells potential customers. The RoamPoint hub offers several services to operators. When a customer accesses a hotspot using their home network's or aggregator's login information, their authentication request passes through the RoamPoint platform. RoamPoint doesn't handle the authentication, but it verifies if the user is authorized to access that hotspot through a roaming agreement the customer's operator has with the hotspot. If the customer is authorized to access the hotspot, RoamPoint passes the authentication request on to the customer’s operator, where the customer is authenticated. Because RoamPoint will know which method each of its operator customers uses to authenticate users, RoamPoint can also serve as a central point of information for its customers. Before a hotspot operator approaches another operator about a potential roaming agreement, RoamPoint can identify for its customers which other operators in the network can support their authentication method. RoamPoint also does network monitoring and collects data about all the hotspots of its customers. "We need to make sure that the service provider can tell customers which hotspots should be working....

A new service called Simplifi lets travelers prepay for voice and wired and wireless Internet access: Users can connect to any hotspot that is part of the iPass network or make phone calls using a single prepaid account. The service may be useful to individual business travelers whose companies don't use iPass because iPass focuses on multi-user accounts. It also lets customers pay for what they use rather than requiring them to pay a regular subscription. However, it's a terrible deal. In North America, Simplifi users will pay almost $15 per hour to use a hotspot. Most hotspots that are part of the iPass network charge quite a bit less than that so it's not clear why users would pay that much for access. For example, T-Mobile is part of the iPass network and it charges $6 an hour or $9.99 for a day pass. The Simplifi concept is interesting as it offers users a single point to pay for access but the prices will have to decrease for it to be compelling....
