Jambo

Here’s a cool article that came out today talking about Jambo in airports. Airports are such interesting transition points, always ripe for chance encounters! A few blurbs from the article below:

“The real power of WiFi is the ability to discover and connect with other people in proximity that you might want to meet,” said Charles Ribaudo, co-founder of Jambo Networks Inc., a WiFi-services developer in Dallas. “Until recently, people have been using WiFi just to access the Internet.”

A network developed by Jambo already has been rolled out at New York City’s La Guardia Airport, in partnership with Concourse Communications. The network enables travelers to discover and connect with other travelers who share something in common and are in the airport at the same time.

“For instance, Jambo can discover others from the same industry or company, those that went to the same university or that share a common friend,” Ribaudo said.
