'WiFi' - that's short for wireless fidelity, a method of making a computer connection using radio waves instead of a hard-wire connection. For most of us, WiFi is synonymous with an Internet connection accomplished wirelessly rather than plugging into a DSL or cable modem. WiFi is fast, with speeds twenty times that of a dial-up modem and more than twice the speed of the fastest cellular data services.

WiFi is popular at hotels and airports offering it as a way for travelers to stay connected while on the road. More and more marinas are making WiFi 'HotSpots' available to attract customers and offer wireless Internet serv­ice to both long-term slip holders and transients.

There's a wide range of informa­tion available on the web to help boaters like real-time weather information and navigational software updates. Of course there's email and instant messaging and you can check out your intended destination and make reservations online. Best of all, thanks to Wave WiFi, it is as easy as opening your laptop and signing-on.

Wave WiFi products are manufactured and distributed by GEOSat Solutions. Wave WiFi is the third generation of mobile WiFi products brought to market by GEOSat. The initial product offering was the limited line of GEOSat Mobile WiFi systems launched in 2004. In 2006, the EC-Series was introduced broadening GEOSat's range of powerful WiFi products for extended-range, mobile Internet access.

Wave WiFi products offer outstanding performance because of the proprietary firmware technology embedded in each unit. The firmware permits the computer user to scan for public access points (HotSpots), select a HotSpot that will provide Internet connectivity and connect to that access point.

Wave WiFi products are compatible with MAC, Vista, Windows 7 and Linux and there is no software to install, no USB restrictions and no power-robbing USB connections. This means better performance for plug-and-play computer accessories like SKYPE™ phones and webcams.

Today's Wave WiFi models represent the on-going evolution of mobile WiFi and provide greatly enhanced performance and functionality.
