 Zafari links to any wireless network
Posted bytonethephone on Sunday, April 02 @ 19:46:06 CEST
A new package called Zafari Mobile, created by the team that produced the Connect software for Vodafone, claims to solve remote access problems for corporate users. It talks directly to Wi-Fi, GPRS and 3G PC cards and chipsets. Written in Microsoft .Net, this package is much better than rivals at identifying all available wireless networks – not just the ones which your access aggregator wants you to see. According to Andre Axford, CEO with Zafari's creator – Cutting The Wires (CTW) – his company's software can be embarrassingly efficient.

According to Andre Axford, CEO with Zafari's creator – Cutting The Wires (CTW) – his company's software can be embarrassingly efficient.
Sitting in a cafeteria associated with a company that shall remain nameless, Axford says Zafari detected a Wi-Fi network using non-broadcast APs [Access Points]. Similarly while pitching to the CTO with a major corporation, Zafari found an AP which an employee had hidden under his desk – confident that it would remain undetected.
With their background at Vodafone, the CTW team are also familiar with utilising 3G – and even HSDPA – as a route to the corporate VPN. The company even supports EAP – SIM, a means of user verification based on details stored on a SIM card (as phone in cellular phones).
