Google Plans Global Wi-Fi in the Cloud

Google is working with Ruckus Wireless to build a Wi-Fi network in the cloud

Google is working with Wi-Fi equipment maker Ruckus Wireless to build a large-scale Wi-Fi network in the cloud off of which any business could hang its wireless routers, according to a source familiar with the project who asked not to be named.

Google’s plans to supply Wi-Fi services to small and medium-sized businesses was first reported by The Information on Wednesday. But I have gotten more details on what its network would look like and how it would be rolled out. Google has been working closely with Ruckus, trialing a new software-based wireless controller that virtualizes the management functions of the Wi-Fi network in the cloud, according to my source. The end result would be a nationwide — or even global — network that any business could join and any Google customer could access.

    I’m very anxious to hear both of your thoughts, pro and con about this big project because you two are the ones I KNOW I CAN TRUST!

    Thanks again for everything you’ve done and continue to do for all of us! If not for you, I wouldn’t know who I could ever trust! Like Margaret–I’m anxiously awaiting to hear and see more.
