Intel My Wi-Fi Personal Area Network

Intel's new My Wi-Fi technology enables the creation of a Personal Area
Network [PAN]; basically your own personal Wi-Fi network which you can
use to connect your laptop with eight other clients or better still
share an incoming internet connection with those eight clients and pay
for just the one connection.

If your laptop is based on the Intel Centrino 2 processor then a simple
wireless driver and software update will have My Wi-Fi running on your
machine. My Wi-Fi allows a dual interface in which your computer stays
connected to one access point as well as clients connected in the PAN.
This is made possible with the help of the Intel 5100 Wi-Fi and 5300
Wi-Fi Link adapters to enable both wireless LAN and Wi-Fi PAN
connections simultaneously. Running the two networks simultaneously and
separately opens up interesting sharing and networking possibilities.

My Wi-Fi works with all Wi-Fi equipped consumer devices. Intel has
attempted to address the issue of security with a push-button
encryption” that lets both devices talk to one another in a secure
mode.
