From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking
Wireless devices are great except for one thing: batteries. Someday, powering wireless devices over the air should become a reality. How long do you think it will be?

Enjoying Better Wireless Connectivity in Stadiums
Put a few thousand or 100,000 people in a stadium nowadays, and the wireless network congestion is going to be intense with everyone trying to communicate and share outside. Fortunately, some companies and some gear are working to solve this problem.

Gate Alarms Using Home Automation
A gate alarm can notify you when you are about to have visitors, have an unwanted visitor, or have youngsters venturing beyond the confines of your yard. Many people assume that having a gate alarm is costly and/or difficult because of remoteness of the gate. Home automation solves this problem with battery-operated wireless sensors.

Is Wireless a Health Hazard?
"From my own experience I am absolutely sure the wireless is not healthy. Especially since people tend to leave it on day and night, and it is transmitted not only from one's own house but from the surrounding neighboring houses and mobile masts - so one ends up living inside a very powerful forcefield of harmful energy!"

Increasing Your Laptop's Wi-Fi Range
When using a wireless laptop with public hotspots, a strong WiFi signal is necessary to ensure successful Internet access and good connection speed. A wireless laptop with limited range is likely to suffer from slow or dropped Internet connections. Here are some ideas for improving the WiFi signal of a laptop to ensure best possible wireless Internet access.
