Sprint Providing WiFi Airport Security
WiFi goes to work again. While all the focus on WiFi continues to be on hotspots and ways for consumers to access the internet while out and about, increasingly we're seeing stories of WiFi being used in the workplace (outside of office environments). The latest is that Sprint, along with Navigance, is going to provide WiFi based security systems to airports. What's unclear, though, is how they're going to handle security. I'm sure they have a good answer, but using WiFi certainly does open things up to make it somewhat easier for a random hacker to "tap into" the security video feeds.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
