I work at the Seattle University School of law and we have a 802.11b setup throughout campus and it seems to work just fine for the 1200 students who are required to have a laptop. Thats with many of them streaming video and using it for VoIP. I think they would be able to pull off an 802.11g setup just fine.
I guess it depends on how many channels they want to provide, but if its a typical school its going to only be 20-25 of the more popular channels.
From the Article: "Etrema is now trying to secure a major retailer to sell a $300 portable version called the Presenter, aimed at business travelers, that can plug into laptops and give any room a top-quality sound system for presentations. A toy version, the Soundbug, is available for $20 from Amazon and OfficeDepot.com. Despite the poorer sound quality, teenage boys seem to like it"
Have you ever heard the SoundBug? It sounds like the cheap plastic it is.
I think there is a huge market for the ability to turn various items into a quality audio transmitter.
Has anyone read the new book Prey by Michael Crichton? This post was a bit of a shock to me... not that we are anywhere close to where he goes in the book, but much closer than I thought we were.
Does anyone see a problem with making something the human eye can't see (easily) and then trying to put our best AI into it?
One bee is just a Nuisance. Thousands of them working together are deadly!
