Intel Haifa staff tap away in WiFi bomb shelters

Filed under: Aviran Mordo @ 1:55 pm

Staff at Intel Corp’s Haifa research center have been forced into bomb shelters as Hizbollah rockets rained on the northern Israeli city, but they are still working, thanks to wireless connections underground.

The U.S. chip giant’s R&D center in Haifa, responsible for developing the Centrino and many other Intel chips, has equipped its bomb shelters with a wireless network, said Kobi Bachar, a spokesman for Intel Israel.

“We can work from the bomb shelters because there is wireless there,” he said.
