3Com and Italian car maker Fiat Auto announced that they would embed enterprise-class wireless networking technology from 3Com in one of Fiat's models, making it possible for passengers to connect to the Internet in service stations, car parks, or urban locations covered by a WLAN. The Wi-Fi system installed in the Lancia Phedra offers broadband Internet access through the vehicle's multimedia system. The 3Com Wi-Fi connectivity solution is enhanced by AWAutoPC with a wireless keyboard, developed by AWA, a partner of 3Com. Passengers (one hopes not the drivers) would be able to shop on the Internet, check the stock market, read their email, or take part in a videoconference.
