Pacific DirectConnect is a leader in the field of 802.11, an established, mature technology. Sources report eight solid quarters of growth in Wi-Fi 802.11b wireless card sales as it gains popularity worldwide. Many manufacturers are shipping their laptops with this technology already installed. Wi-Fi networks are in place in many companies. Expect access speeds up to 40 times that of dial-up or cell phone modem rates.

Every so often a technology arises unheralded, unforeseen, and unanticipated that completely undermines the efforts of the big players to force consumers to adopt their inferior standards. This revolutionary technology is Wi-Fi 802.11b.

First deployed in 1996, advances in the technology now allow theoretical connection rates of 11 Mbps, usually comparable to ADSL or cable modem speeds. Corporations quickly embraced the technology - they saw how easy it was to roll out a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) into their office or campus space, without being tied to a set number of ports or a rigid floor plan.

The adoption rate over the last 18 months has far exceeded expectations, showing significant growth even in this depressed market. Many laptops shipped by manufacturers have 802.11 technology already installed as part of their standard configuration.

The main reason for such a successful rollout has been the standard’s versatility and reliability. Wiring up an office can be expensive, especially as adding new personnel often requires tedious retrofits.

Pacific DirectConnect works in conjunction with Boingo Wireless and Nomadix, for its back-end network management and database functionality. Boingo is simultaneously developing roaming solutions across other Wireless-ISP networks to create the kind of seamless experience users are demanding.

Such access is rapidly becoming available through Boingo’s growing list of hot spots, including airports, hotels and cafés — a list of which can be obtained from the Boingo website, www.boingo.com.

Pacific DirectConnect provides wireless Internet access in multiple locations through out Hawaii, including Halekulani and Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore, Blaisdell Conference Center, and many other private networks.

For a limited time, Internet access is free at Honolulu Coffee Company in Downtown, to help increase awareness. It can't get much cooler than going to a cafe, turning on your laptop, and accessing the Internet for free. Future plans include wireless Internet at other Honolulu Coffee locations, including Maui, located at The Shop at Wailea.

Pacific DirectConnect’s hotspots in Hawaii are located in cafes, restaurants, and hotels. Building out a wireless network provides users with convenient, high-speed Internet access to help them extend computing capabilities beyond the workplace. Hotspots are near strategic business corridors so business people can access the Internet wirelessly using their own laptop or PDA to email, download presentations, access corporate intranets, or send sales orders while on the road.
