There are reports of Wi-Fi connectivity issues with the new iPad. Dozens have indicated that in locations with a good Wi-Fi signal, the iPad is not receiving the signal as well as other devices do.
Is there was a great app like WiFi Trak to measure the wireless signal on the iPad, iPhone…. Nope. The iTunes store removed such apps over a year ago. Other methods to test.

By Mikael Ricknäs, IDG News Nov 9, 2011
The number of public Wi-Fi hotspots is expected to increase by 350 percent in the next four years, as operators look for ways to offload traffic from their mobile networks, according to a report by market research company Informa Telecoms and Media.
By 2015 users around the world will be able to connect to 5.8 million public hotspots, Informa wrote in the “Global developments in public Wi-Fi” report, which was commissioned by Wireless Broadband Alliance. WBA members include AT&T, Boingo, Cisco Systems, Deutsche Telekom and Google. Its goal is to make Wi-Fi services easier to use.

From what we hear from our Hospitality clients guest occupancy has been down during the winter. Business is starting to pick up a bit this spring and with summer approaching it is a good time to look at amenities and upgrade long overdue services.
Hotel guests are now pounding the hotel wireless networks with their iPhones, Netbooks, laptops and connecting to traffic intense sites like Pandora, YouTube, Hulu and maybe connecting back to their office for email and work. Nowadays almost no vacation lacks a few business emails.
A wireless network with spotty coverage, poor design, downtime, lack of features will drive guests away.
I have been told by a few clients that guests will not even check in if there isn’t sufficient wireless at the hotel.
SF WiFi resolves wireless network issues. Our Hotel General Managers are happy and the guests don’t complain to the front desk!! Well maybe guests still complain about the continental breakfast – but we can’t support that.
SF WiFi offers s FREE site survey to gather the necessary information for a proper wireless design.
