WiFi hotspots near North Pole
Two Moscow-based Intel employees have setup a Wi-Fi hotspot near the North Pole, is has been revealed by Intel. The hotspot was built in the Arctic region at the Barneo ice camp. It was made in a tent complex used by scientists, researchers and rescue crews during the month of April, when ice conditions are safe. It said that those at the camp use the hotspot access for chores ranging from e-mail to getting real-time weather conditions and for taking care of matters at home, including, potentially, financial transactions. Still, the camp environment is never ideal for computer devices, as the air temperature rarely rises above –30° Celsius, according to Intel. The hotspot uses Intel's Centrino equipment and the Iridium satellite phone system as backhaul. The company said in its statement that the installation shows that the equipment can be used in extreme circumstances.
