"Cingular's recent performance highlights in part its strategic needs with regard to (its coverage area) and technology--and, perhaps, could increase the pressure to act," Merrill Lynch analyst Linda Mutschler wrote in a research note. The wireless company names a new chief executive two weeks after reporting a loss of more than 100,000 subscribers. In a statement issued this week, the company said that Stan Sigman would become president and CEO, replacing former chief Stephen Carter. Sigman earlier served as group president and chief operating officer for SBC Communications and was a member of Cingular's board. Cingular is a joint venture of SBC and BellSouth.

Intel has completed a lab demonstration of the mesh networks project and will begin a home test in a few months, she added. In another research project, the company is working on technology to provide high-speed broadband access in rural areas. Called "802.11 Last Mile," the technology uses directional antennas to make connections to 802.11 wireless available over a long distance. Intel is testing its wireless technology near its Hillsboro, Ore. offices. So far, the wireless network has achieved a radius of 20 miles and supports about 15 homes.

"The problem is that it's not hugely scalable, It's limited to about 100 users," said Gryder, "It's really a niche way of using 802.11." Still, over time the antennas should improve, which would allow WISPs, or wireless Internet service providers, to add more users, Another wireless networking hurdle Intel is trying to overcome is seamless switching between wireless, wired and cellular networks using iphone xs max sheer crystal - purple what it calls intelligent roaming, Under this system, people would be able to customize their access preferences to switch their devices from one wireless network to another when it becomes cheaper, At other times, people would be able to automatically float between networks without losing a connection..

This type of network roaming will be the first of the technologies to emerge, according to Jim Johnson, vice president and general manger of the platform networking group at Intel. Wired-wireless roaming will occur in the relatively near future, he said, and within two years, services will likely exist that will let consumers float between wired, 802.11 and cellular connections. Armed with the faith that wireless networking's time is nigh, the chipmaker is putting its R&D group to work on improving accessibility--and so making it more attractive to consumers.
