Trying to find a place where you can connect to the office isn't always an easy task for on-the-road professionals. Business travelers need a quick and easy way to find access to wireless networks in unfamiliar destinations. Now there's a social WiFi community that will ensure you and your reps can always find the closest hot spot.
Social WiFi community WeFi is now available free to public users. Under the slogan "WeFi makes WiFi easy," the California-based company provides free Windows-compatible software (Mac software said to be coming soon) that enables users to quickly locate free hot spots and connect to available networks.
"Our WiFi maps are constantly updated and cover every kind of free WiFi out there, not just the coffee shops, airports, etc.," says director of product marketing Roy Klieger. "Since our software checks real Internet connection and not just the presence of encryption, every network that a user used is added to the database."
Formerly available to only a test market group, WeFi is composed of community users who contribute to the database of worldwide wireless networks. The networks are then classified by availability so users will know whether local hot spots are free- or restricted-access, enabling users to find free service quickly.
Interested users can sign-up for and download the free WeFi connectivity application at www.wefi.com.
