Wi-Fi Where It's Needed



Wired has a story today on the WanderPod, a large, yet portable satellite trailer device that can be set up anywhere to allow people wireless internet access. Applications include traveling events, diaster recovery and military applications, though I bet the U.S. Military already has something quite like this.

It's a great idea, and inventor Dennis Stacey said it was just an idea in his head a month ago. Just a few weeks later, they have a working prototype - and rolled it out at the SpaceShipOne landing a few weeks ago.

Neat.
