Chrysler Wi-Fi Hotspot Announced
In what the company claims is an industry first, Chrysler announced Uconnect web, a system that brings wireless Internet connectivity to any Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep. It turns the car into a WiFi hotspot that provides secure, real-time entertainment and information to all vehicle passengers. The hotspot range will extend approximately 50 feet from the vehicle in all directions, and will combine both WiFi and 3G cellular connectivity. Since this is ultimately a cellular service, despite its emphasis on WiFi, the pricing will be complex.
