Aussie CSIRO WiFi Windfall of $220 million

Aussie CSIRO WiFi Windfall of $220 million

Every day we use WiFi on our notebooks, phones, tablets, routers, TVs – in fact it's estimated that there's around 3 billion WiFi-enabled devices worldwide. Who out there knew though that WiFi is actually an Australian invention.  Developed by Australia's national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) , it was patented in Australia in 1992 and the US in 1996. More information after the break:.
The invention came out of CSIRO's pioneering work in radioastronomy.
