Just a quick one today (after my triumphant rant last week).
Cisco have just announced a new product for doing wireless networks in large areas, like stadia.
I obviously haven't covered the topic yet, however providing Wi-Fi access for an entire audience of thousands proves a lot harder than you'd expect. With the amount of access points (Wi-Fi Antennae, for want of a better word) required to support an entire audience you tend to get a lot of interference.
I haven't tried, or even seen, Cisco's solution, but as mentioned in last week's post they are one of the world leaders in networking. If they say that it can work, then I have a fair degree of confidence that it will work.
Their press release is here:

I'll be reading this over the next couple of days, and if I determine anything I will post it here.
