WeFi, a social WiFi community, today announced the opening of its BETA offering to the general public around the globe. WeFi helps mobile consumers find the best available wireless connection quickly. WeFi maps provide users with a dynamic, constantly updated view of available free WiFi spots, as well as the location and profiles of users.
To date, WeFi has been available only by invitation in selected markets.
“WeFi combines its unique technology with user-generated information, to help people find the best available wireless connection so they can enjoy broadband media on-the-go”, said WeFi CEO Arnon Kohavi. No other WiFi network provides online maps that are dynamically updated every time a user finds a new WiFi location, nor do they provide social, location based features like WeFi does.”
WeFi software residing on the notebook computer, immediately starts looking for sources of free WiFi, and connects users to the spot with the best available connection. The WiFi locations are then presented in graphical form, with available ones identified with the color green, and the best one displayed on top. Users can also choose to connect manually to any WiFi location they choose by using the “Manual Connect” option to stay on a particular connection.
WeFi also provides online maps that users update and share with others. WeFi maps are constantly being refreshed with new user-generated information. The maps display the location of available free WiFi locations as well as location and profiles of users. Special recognition is given to users who “find” new available WiFi locations.
Starting today, everyone can sign up for WeFi, view maps of WiFi locations generated by WeFi users, and download the free WeFi connectivity application.
