Microsoft working on Wi-Fi virtualization
eWeek | at | by Mike
Researchers at Microsoft have created the prototype for new Wi-Fi software that allows a user on a PC with a single network card to connect to LANs concurrently via "virtual mirrors."
"VirtualWiFi is a virtualization architecture for wireless LAN cards," lead researcher Ranveer Chandra said. "It abstracts a single WLAN card to appear as multiple virtual WLAN cards to the user. The user can then configure each virtual card to connect to a different wireless network." This development would open new options for employees within an enterprise who need to do work outside the company network, Chandra said.
