FON Extends Range

SAN FRANCISCO -- FON, the world's largest WiFi community, this week introduced La Fontenna. La Fontenna is an easy-to-use directional antenna that significantly expands the range of FON's La Fonera WiFi router. La Fontenna allows FON community members (Foneros) to share their WiFi signal over longer distances, creating more coverage for everyone. La Fontenna connects to the La Fonera, FON's WiFi router, and allows Foneros to expand their WiFi signal by up 3 to 5 times (depending on line of sight).

"Cities all over the U.S. are struggling with costly and complicated municipal WiFi initiatives," said Joanna Rees, U.S. CEO of FON. "With the release of the La Fontenna, we feel that we are introducing a more organic, more community-oriented solution to struggling municipal WiFi efforts that is created by the residents themselves."

The number of new Foneros joining the FON Community grows daily by the hundreds. There are now 400,000 registered Community members worldwide. FON now plans to grow its Community even more by offering its members greater WiFi coverage through the La Fontenna.
