Louisiana Bankers Set to Go Wireless

It always raises an eyebrow when someone claims a particular technology is "hacker-proof"...

Bob Moser writes on The Daily Advertiser:

The first segment of a new wireless network for banking data is being built in Louisiana, and the Louisiana state police is on board for its own benefit.

The company, ERF Wireless out of League City, Texas, says sending data through the air will be faster than land lines, even safer from hackers, and not prone to storm damage like high-wires or buried lines.

"It's bandwidth, lots of bandwidth, and it's more secure than a regular phone line," said John Burns, CEO of ERF Enterprise Network Services. "It's actually quite a bit faster. Much more control, faster speed, faster response, and it's a private communications network the bank creates for itself, whereas with phone lines you're sharing with everyone."
