NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Jeff Caruso

Think about it - today's police have a wealth of electronic
information sources at their fingertips, and tomorrow's police
are likely to have even more. What does this mean? Two words:

Distance detection may help secure Wi-Fi

Intel closed its Developer Forum yesterday with a glimpse into
the future. Most interesting is a technology under development
that can give access points the ability to determine the
location of wireless LAN clients. If a client is outside your
walls, you could cut it off.

New 3Com switches provide PoE to smallest offices

3Com is filling out the lower end of its workgroup switching

possible prison sentences after being indicted by a grand jury
