VeriSign to pilot Wi-Fi, wide-area roaming service
Ephraim Schwartz writes in InfoWorld:
VeriSign on Tuesday announced trials at three major universities aimed at integrating on-campus Wi-Fi with any wide-area wireless carrier network, enabling data and voice roaming between networks.
VeriSign expects that the Wireless IP Connect Service, as it will be called, will be used mainly to link mobile and Wi-Fi networks. However, the technology can also connect any device with an IP connection, such as wired Ethernet, to a wireless carrier.
VeriSign is using resources from three of its divisions -- focused on IP and mobile connectivity to the wired telecommunications infrastructure -- to deliver the pilot at the University of Michigan, Northwestern University, and Texas A&M University.
